First of all: Thanks very much to all of you for the great welcome to this forum...seems like you guys are a bunch of real nice and very, very funny people...
Next: I did not talk about flying that thing myself (maybe the username was a little misleading then I admit). Actually we are not worried about flying it for quite a while at all. What we need is a specific model to develop some data (I won't need any piloting experience to put it into a wind tunnel, for example...) that we can use to get a (to start with rather coarse) model to get some idea about possible control algorithms.
As "at some point" (that was supposed to be left pretty much open, and I am aware that is not going to be next week!!) people will be interested in actually flying the thing (I personally will most probably be done with my work and out of the project by that time anyway) all we need right now is an idea of what size to go for.
The stuff we want to put in the plane is probably going to be around 1 kg at the most.
So if you guys are done with throwing around diapers and whatever else you're into I'd appreciate any helpful comments...
Thanks
