I think 3D printing is the way to go. In this demo, a team designed and assembled a remote control plane in a week using 3D printing. It then successfully take to the skies. Watch the video.
The beauty of 3D printing is that it can print out complex structure and it is also easy to change the design later. Watch the results of this 3D printing.
