Hi everyone,

We were looking for an airframe to carry some pretty good weight, so we went with the Telemaster. The size of this plane will work perfect for what we intend to use it for. We plan to run a full pan & tilt video down link, still camera, and anything else we need. We also plan to use the Eagletree system, with gps, on the aircraft for all the in-flight data.

The only thing I have framed up is the wing. The only balsa left on the wing is the LE and TE and most of the ribs, everything else has been replaced with basswood. To get as much area in side the fuse for all the electronics, I decided to go with wing tanks. If my math is right each tank comes out to about 27oz. I figured its better to have too much then not enough. There is also going to be navigation, anti-collision, and landing lights.

Any comments, concerns, ideas are greatly appreciated
