Very nice work! I remember when all land cover in FlightGear (other
than runways) was desert -- not sure why Curt picked a desert texture
(I think it had something to do with Prescott, AZ). Next, we were
able to separate land (always forest) from water. It's come a long
way since then.

It's not uncommon to 'pimp' this model plane by adding ailerons. Doing

Nowadays we're in the fortunate position of being able to merge land
cover data from various sources.
The foundation is still VMap0 which I've loaded into a PostGIS
data
Quite a few years ago we had a debate, because we had to choose
between two sets of shoreline data:
1. GSHSS was very nicely detailed (every little cove and point), but
about 1 mile off for the Great Lakes, leaving shoreline airports
either far inland or floating in the middle of a lake.
2. Vmap0

When I originally added ground-use support to TerraGear many years
ago, the Canada/US Great Lakes worked fine: we simply treated the
water as a special ground use, used the DEM to get the elevation,
clipped it against the VMAP0 coastlines, and for good measure, Curt
had written code to average out

Hi,
I could use a little help from one of our aerodynamics experts.
First a little background. DIYdrones.com is a group of hobbiests with an
interest in building hobby / open-source uav's. Actual projects vary
widely, but often they are based on small electric powered foam gliders
