I am in the process of writing a model airplane design/modelling software
package that I'm going to release as shareware.  I would like some ideas as
to what would be nice to have in a package like this.  Right now I'm 
planning on the following:
- Input dimensions of airplane, weight, wing specs, motor size etc.
- A database to save/restore these specs for many planes.
- Predicted stall/max speed, takeoff speed, cg, etc.
- Predicted behavior (min turning radius/tightest loop etc).
- Airfoil database for designing scratch-built airplanes, ability to design 
  and model new airfoil designs.
- Maybe (?) a visual interactive "game" in which you can try to fly the
  prospective plane.

Any ideas or suggestions welcome.  Please e-mail.

Thanks-
Jason Worley
