Thanks for your tips.

Have a look on http://www.diydrones.com/
They have the ArduPilot which is by far not as capable as Paparazzi but definitely cheaper and they say it is easier. Just to see something else, too. Not a suggestion.
I was more thinking about saving money on the airframe.
A paparazzi board will not be cheap. But this is a well established
opensource project and quite frankly, I expect a much cleaner software
on a hardware with some 'umpf'.
Can anyone maybe suggest a bigger and flexible and of course cheap
solution? Maybe some easy DIY plans. Optics are irrelevant. :)
And how difficult is it to scale things up? Maybe they get unreasonable
expensive... I have no idea, I'm not a RC guy.
Welcome to the world of R/C flying!
I started R/C flying recently, so I feel competent to answer beginners questions.
See http://home.pages.at/martinpi/modellflug/anfaengertipps.html for some hints (in German, sorry to the other readers).
I strongly suggest that you look for an R/C club in your vicinity.
Thanks for the tips.
Although I have never flown the Multiplex TwinStar, I think this could be the thing for you. Used TwinStars are often available through Ebay. Optics not too bad, somewhat crash-resistant, easy to repair if not.
Great. They seem look like they are just what I'm looking for. And
pretty cheap too.
I will look around or local resources for advice and buying. There
should be clubs and shops around my area.
