haven't really started any of the designing yet but was thinking of.

13 hrs worth of batteries.
probably will need 2 brushless model aircraft engines (unless anyone knows where i can get a larger size electric engine)
thin film solar panels along the wings.
pico pilot or ardupilot pro control system
gps.
digital camera
probably composite or aluminium contruction

what do you think?

i'm imaging i will probably have trouble getting enough power out of the engines. any ideas on what else i could use?
