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.
