Default Excellent Analogy....

I think the standard answer project engineers have for their manager applies to this:
I can make it high performance,
I can have it done fast,
I can do it cheap.

Pick any two of the above.
Man....that's good.....I've had it stuck in my head for days....
And it's HARD to get around THAT statement!!!

Great Quote Volfy!!

Now how hard can I push these.....

Ryobi (cheap, fast coversion, not much performance)
Now asking if it can hover ANYTHING....

So realistically, you CAN'T HOVER A RYOBI easily???

Simple foam wing/tail construction, aerobatic dimensions....not going to last long...but would be cheap airframe....
I was thinking of sheeting foam with 2 mil Coroplast...easy one step sheeting, color, and fuel proofing all in one application...shrug...but....heavy. Guess I'm getting a little off topic here (better to be in the Scratch Building Forum).

Any other ideas?
