If any has any plans, drawings, ideas, or other for airframes that they wish to make public please post them. To further drop the cost of home made UAVs and to make airframes that are better suited for UAVs that the basic RC plane.

Thanks for the post, the planes look great. This is the kind of thing I am looking for and do you have any drawings or diagrans detailing mesurements? I know it would be appreciated.
An RC Slow Stick works good.. or a pusher plane. Nice and slow for good AV stuff
All you need is a 1/4 by 1/4 stick, some dollar general foam, or Fan Fold Foam from home depot and rc gear. Ive made several myself and have many aerial videos taken from them. My latest one uses a 2500kv Brushless outrunner(small) on a 3c 11.1 volt lipo. It carries a stripped down 3oz camera. Its my Avatar. Pretty much anything with an Undercambered high wing, can carry lots and make good lift at slow speeds. Ruders are for planes with more dihedral, and ailerons are for planes with out or with very little dihedral.
What I am looking for is something that can be made in a short amount of time, using basic materials like balsa, foamcore, or other stuff that is cheap and eazy to work with. So when it crashes for what ever reson it is not so bad. It also must have some payload capacity to carry things like processors, sensors, cameras, Batteries, and alike.

The Burnelli designs are said to be very crashworthy http://www.aircrash.org/burnelli/chrono1.htm
and given the age of the designs they should be in the public domain
