From an email that Rob just sent... Now I'm sure we all have ideas for what we would like in an airframe.
If you put it here I'll make sure he reads this thread.
The desert hawk is epp, and so are others being developed. We are producing airframes
for a major UK military contractor, its gone UAV crazy over here with a massive dedicated centre being built here in Bristol.
It would be good fun to create a package for amateur developers .
If you have a spec you would like, then let me know.
Regards Rob

8) Cargo Holds: If possible I would like to have one or several bays that can handle up to 3"x4" payloads rather that smaller cavities. This is the size of a standard prototyping electronics board. While many custom or one-off devices I've made are smaller, the standard board size would make prototyping much easier. I actually modified my first Easystar to be a "Guppy" for this reason. And it beats taping the boards to the wings.
9) Accessibility to payloads is also a big deal for me. I need to visually inspect, adjust and activate my designs during testing. This may be just an obsessive/compulsive tic, but this is after all, a DIY site So I believe most of use are continuously tinkering!
Thanks!
