OK, this is where we are now; the thought of building a Beetle really appeals to me more than the other weights. That said, there doesn't seem to be the same opportunities for Beetles in competition as for Feathers. So it seems like a Feather is the best bet, to begin with at least.

With that in mind, are cordless drills still the best bet for cheap reliable drive? Given that i'll have no weapon to call upon, i think i'd be better off investing in some more substantial drive (i'm imagining something akin to an upscaled version of Ellis' Gonzales).
