HI TOM! Ya, this thing is pretty flimsy, doesn't look like it would like being flown over 20 mph. It weighs about a pound and has decent wing area, so I'm hoping it will be controllable in a small area. Being in the motor pool, at least he has access to lots of compressed air and brake cleaner. Ideally, he will get good enough to grab it out of the air in a hover or land it on the roof of a HUMVEE to keep it clean
. I think he will be going to an established compound, so once he gets there, he'll be dug in for the duration. Thanks for the advice and well wishes, CHUCK
