Prof Coleman,

How much engineering freedom do we have in our Craft design? My Team has 
brainstormed the following ideas for improving the aircraft. We would 
like to know which of them you allow before we do too much research into 
them:

Suggestions were for using:

bigger propellers
twin engines
larger wing sizes
tail modifications
different batteries
a load catch system (that is one where the plane doesn't have to land)

Thank you for your help!

Ryan
