Very cool project. I also fly RC (well, used to). Your solar power project is a natural offshoot of the types of tinkering involved with the RC hobby.
It's a great hobby, isn't it? Wood, adhesive, engines, motors, electronics, linkages, radios... and that's all before you even go flying!
And the flying inevitably results in fixing wood, adhesive, engines, motors, etc. :)
I mostly fly FPV quadcopters and thermal gliders, but I live in one of the most regulated air spaces on the planet. The latest set of FAA restrictions have taken all the fun out of it for me.
Oh man, don't even get me started on that stuff. It's horrible. I live within 5 miles of an airport so I couldn't fly here (legally) if I wanted to. I do all of my flying at an AMA club. Since having a kid a year ago I've only been out there a few times.
I'm impressed that you have time for your solar power project!
