Mark, Earlier you had mentioned an interest in long range UAV's. The obvious solution is something like the Global Hawk, a $16 million dollar 737 size aircraft capable of US -> AUS flights. I found a group taking the other approach: http://www.insitugroup.com/LaimaFlight.html 13.5 kg take-off weight and a fuel burn of 3 gallons for a trans-Atlantic flight! The model cost an estimated US$10k and they are working on making it more efficient for a 5000 mile flight. Thought you might be interested... Trammell -- -----|----- hu...@sw...
