Default RE: Electric motors in .40 size airplane

Hi aeajr

Thanks for the boat load of information. That plane looks really cool, but I have a few more questions for you. First of what I meant by a substantial payload is only 2 or 3 pounds of electronic sensors mounted on and within the aircraft. Some of them will be external and effect the drag of the plane, but nothing like towing a 3 meter glider behind it.

Secondly how will that plan sustain a crash. I am 100% sure that I will crash this plane more then once while this working on the project. Will it "bounce" better then a balsa wood plane? Thats why I was looking at the Aircore planes.

Thanks for the input,
Matt
