Aerial Photography Using a 3 Channel R/C Airplane
For this application I used a
Mountain Models Magpie foam aircraft. It has only rudder, elevator and throttle
controls.
The R/C system is a basic
4
channel Hitec.
The camera is a cheap (and light)
Nikon L4 4 Megapixel camera.
I fitted the model with a brushless motor and LiPo battery, which gives it 20 minutes flight time.
On this particular day, visibility was poor due to nearby bushfires.
