Having said that, even with a well-structured model, there will be
frustration with rebuild errors and the like. Hopefully, R/C airplanes
are similar enough in scope to your project that my opinions will be
useful in your decision.

Ooooh...rebuild. I like rebuild. I guess it's the same concept of
compilation in programming. I was wondering in my OP if there were an
equivalent with parametric models. After all, with all the
interdependencies..something has to be synthesized from the expression
of interdependencies, just like in programming.

This is my first design of anything using more than a ruler and scraps
of paper, let alone an airplane. I know it will take years, so I'm
going to just take my time and learn what I need to know as I go.
