"HI Richard thanks for giving feed back, the idea of making an aircraft like this is that it has already had the R/D done on it and from a UAV/ radio hobbyist stand point alot of the hard work is already worked out, Yes the turbine is a problem but…"

"Not sure if anyone is still following this and interested, but I've got a CO2 laser similar to Mike's. I have a 4'x3' stage though, so I can cut VERY large parts. Feel free to hit me up if you want to discuss it."

I am in the process of working on a Quad rotor UAV. The base and arms I would like to be made out of Aluminum. Do you have a program that I would need to design the platform for you to use on your CNC or would a detailed paper blueprint be all you need to make this project?

Hi Daryn;

My machine is a CO2 laser, and hence doesn't do aluminum. Wood, composite, plastics, acrylics, styrenes, etc... but no metals.

You should find someone with a NC mill to do that sort of stuff.
