Re: OT: Trans-Atlantic Model Airplane
It does sound like quite a technical challenge, but think about it. If a commercial airliner can carry 300-400 people and several tons of baggage across the Atlantic with current technology then why can't a model plane make it with zero cargo? It's just that no one has put much effort into implementing 'state of the art' technology in a model plane before. I saw an article on slashdot a few weeks ago about some guy in Australia claiming he could build a 'homebrew' cruise missile for $5,000 or so. I think we 'civilians' have not been paying attention to where the technology is going.
