It's looking pretty good... are you using blower motors for thrusters? if so how well do they work?

The motors are just ducted fans for RC planes brushed dc motors that can run around 10v.
I got them from Tower Hobbies http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wt ... LXSBF7&P=7.
With voltage drop down 100' of tether it works out about right.
