Default RE: Please recommend a plane

More pretentiousness. You could tell he wasn't an RC pilot? Me too! Define pay·load (pā′lōd′)

noun

1. a cargo, or the part of a cargo, producing income
2.
1. a load that consists of anything carried by an aircraft, rocket, etc. that is not essential to its flight operations, including warheads, spacecraft, or passengers
2. the weight of such a load

2 lbs could rule out warhead and passengers unless we're talking something smaller than ferrets. A common UAV application is video/photography.
He stated the range was 1/2 mile.

His question was answered twice, so what prevention actually occurred? Trust me, you couldn't help him or prevent him from doing anything he wants to do.

I am new to planes, and I am looking for a plane that meets the following conditions

1. Around 80'' wingspan . Something in the size range of a Telemaster Senior or Sig Kadet.
2. Can comfortably cruise at 80-100mph without crazy modifications
3. ARF or RTF
4. Can carry around 2 lb payload

Anybody have any suggestions? I am looking into the GP 70'' Revolver, 84'' Reactor, or Giant Super Sportster available from TowerHobbies.com.

And don't worry, I won't be flying it. An experienced RC pilot would fly it.
