That's nothing... I wanted a tiny little rotor drone for really simple
snooping about. Those suckers can only go about 50 meters on electric
power.
I'm still trying to figure out where a man-sized or smaller rotor drone
fits 120 liters of fuel.

Well, on the first, we found a few things to consider. Gridlink is the
funniest thing we've ever had added to an "arachnid", as was Suncell. We also
like to point out that "Suncell" if it's like the current solar panels of the
modern calculator can produce "some" current from standard (artificial)
lighting. We just gave the Suncell a very small production level say 1-3 PF
an hour...not a lot, but if coupled with planning, yeppers, can be loads fun.
As for the fuel, yeah, the numbers don't match quite right, i know...we argued
out compressed fuel tanks (which I once made rules for...Wordman, if you read
this, do you still have those as well? They were in the Nagee back when Chris
did them)....
