Hi, Nick.  I was making the assumption that the builder would already
be into R/C stuff and would have the radios, battery packs, and probably
a good bit of the materials.  The aerodynamics part would be pretty
straight forward, particularly if one were willing to cheat a little and
build a semi-rigid wing.  The sucker would be harder to fly than to
build.  If anyone on the list is into R/C and wants to try one, give
me a shout off-list.

Uh...Fairly easy for certain pterosaurian aerodynamics researchers,
perhaps... ;-)
