I'm looking for suggestions and ideas from anyone who may be familiar with an electric r/c plane capable of handling more extreme conditions - specifically high winds that will attempt to toss it around. I'm looking for something that is like a WC-130, WC-130J, or WC-121N in terms of function (I don't need a scale version of one of these aircraft, just something that can take a beating from the forces of nature). I would even consider designing something myself, but need more info on characteristics which will aid in the plane's ability to be stable.
What I'm not looking for is a jet that can "pierce" the wind by going 500 mph - that's not really the definition of stable that I'm referring to.
I'd like something that's more like a cargo plane made to fly through hurricanes: slow, extremely stable, heavy-lifting, powerful... an elephant of a plane. If can carry two or three 4S 3300mAh+ batteries, all the better.
Suggestions? Ideas? Or is this just crazy?
