Actually, I've thought about modifying RC control planes and helicopters to survey sites (yeah I know I can use google-earth), but this option gives me a bit more detail and a more current look.  So even though this particular model wouldn't be adequate for my purposes this isn't too wild of a place to list it (after all, it makes a good practice model).

I have used a radio controlled glider and a film camera in the past. Now that digital cameras are getting cheap, I may try it again with a digital camera. If I need to, that is.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

The cameras are nothing weight wise like they use to be.

Add a Electric Drive on the Glider and you have a cool Drone to scope out new areas.

Both of my gliders are electric and high start. If I have room, I prefer the high start followed by electric when airborne.

I tried my little Micro camera on a helicopter but it would not even get off the ground,,,, need a bigger model  Great I see you can now get helicopters with built in camera, looks worth trying....

Those all look interesting, Peter. And the price is hardly more than a good quality camera.

Hey Gold Digger.... Was over in S. Korea late 60s and built a powered glider with a timer and camera. It would fly for several minutes, run out of fuel, glide for a while and the timer would cant the tail and it would come down, all the while shooting a few 16mm pictures..... One day we launched it and the #$%@ wind grabbed it and last I saw it was heading due north!!! Either some N Korean kid has a cool plane or they shot it down!!!!!
