the quad I'll be using is 900g with LiPo and FPV gear (not all attached yet, just threw it all on the scales). I put that it weighs 2kg on the ecalc and it says I can hover at 70% throttle, so I guess it's possible to take up a bixler or something but without stabilisation for my quad (i missed my chance for a CC last night) I'd be very nervous taking a payload. Plus we'd have to figure out a release mechanism.
Release shoudn't be a problem, perhaps we shouls start with something a bit smaller than a Bixler?

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof was to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
