Certainly an interesting exercise.
Bit out of time though, Mr Peabody set the Wayback machine to get that?
What does that 5.5 lbs thrust cost in real $$??
I ask as one can reasonably obtain that level of thrust with a ~$200 edf .( motor edf and esc) setup + batteries, arguably another ~$100 for 'good' ones.
Sans Papal Dispensation from the AMA to fly the thing :-)
