The amount of thrust needed on the puffers is really determined by the time constant of the control response desired.
My experience indicated its more of a function of the flying weight of the plane. You can break it
down into moments and angular accelerations but you will not know what angular acceleration
is fast enough... I think you are well on your way and the bed stand is the only way to go..
I flew the Rig on the strap for hours and it was a totally different animal when it flew on its own..
