Photo Plane: basic design considerations
The goal: to have a controllable, slow flying RC
(radio controlled) platform carrying a digital
still camera into the air for the least possible
money.

Time to install the landing gear and motor.
Landing gear is the same as the gas version.
Installing the electric motor will involve some
"speculative engineering" (a.k.a. trial and error).
