First off, you can rest easy. I have long since given up getting help from the online community. Now I'm just interested in the topic.

The very fact that he minimizes the amount of damage a 2 pound payload could potentially cause raises a red flag.
Why? I disagree that 2lbs payload can be much scarier than the plane itself. Glows carry gas, and electrics...

Not to mention the kinetic energy these sport planes have at high speeds. The only articles I've found are of people being harmed involve someone getting hit by a plane.

You lack the skills, experience, and knowledge to have a clue as to what you're doing. You're not interested in our hobby.
Well, that was kind of rude. Do you have a bridge to hide under? I assure you that the only thing I lack is experience. I did own a $50 RTF cheapo plane that Icrashed more times than it could handle. My experience lies in quadrotors, which I designed, simulated, built, and flew. Ironically, I have been fascinated with the hobby since Iwas a young. Hopefully in next couple of years I'll have the personal finances to build myself a plane, assuming I don't bring the hobby to its knees.

None of them have any major CF in them, and I've never seen CF shield 2.4GHz signal. I've been involved with 6 small-scale UAV design teams.
Did you know that carbon is a conductor? Most commercial UAVs made from composites have radomes that are either an ABS plastic, fiber glass or something similar. If you search around a little, you can find plenty examples of troubles with CFand radios.

I know just what he needs.
Hmm... Can you suggest one that works with a 2lb payload and launches it nice and smooth at 100mph?
