This is plenty of power fro it to drag my Bird of Time Sailplane to a decent altitude, even when packing a camera. I often fly it out of areas where a faltering engine could cause me some time in the shop, so my priority is dependability.

Is that a single use camera?
Modified for multiple use?
Do you take
Pics using a servo?

Hey Nitro,
This particular one a single-use, single-shot camera...one flight---one photo. I used these several years ago, but now use a high-def video camera whose captured frames are equivalent to the photos I took with the one-use camera.
Since this is off topic for this thread, I'll start another one with some photos of the cameras and their results.
Later! Kim
