| This little plane is amazing. The
plane cost $35...the equipment mounted on it cost over $1,500...the images
it produces are priceless. It has
downlinking, an autopilot, a 4mp Pentax in a tilt cradle and a Walston
Beacon Transmitter.
Here's the specs for a basic version
(what I call Version 2):
11x7 APC SF prop
AXI 2212/26
3 cell TP 2100mah
Master Hacker 18-3P ESC
Ultimate BEC (too many servos for ESC)
FMA Co-Pilot
Black Widow 200mw Downlink
Optio S3 or better
Electron 6 Rx
Hi-Tech HS Rudder & Elevator
Hi-Tech HS-55 Tilt (90 deg w/direct drive)
Hi-Tech HS-55 Shutter
RX Channels
1 - Camera Shutter (Lt Rudder)
2 - Elevator
3 - Throttle
4 - Rudder
5 - Co-Pilot on/off
6 - Camera Tilt (flap nob)
AUW = 25oz.
Slow Stick on Steroids (AKA as Version 3):
9x6 APC Thin Electric prop
AXI 2808/24
3 cell TP 2100mah
Master Hacker 40-3P OPTO ESC
Ultimate BEC (too many servos for ESC)
FMA FS-8 RX/Co-Pilot combo
Black Widow 200mw Downlink
Optio (4.1oz) S3 or better
Hi-Tech HS Rudder & Elevator
Hi-Tech HS-55 Tilt (90 deg w/direct drive)
Hi-Tech HS-55 Shutter
Walston Recovery System (Optional)
RX Channels
1 - Camera Shutter (Lt Rudder)
2 - Elevator
3 - Throttle

AUW = 30oz.
This version is by far the best...takes off in 10-15ft and handles much
better in breezy conditions.
I use Velcro trays on both versions to mount everything...hides nicely
beneath the wing and is super light weight.
BTW, Odd as it may seem, I don't find drag due to the camera to be a
problem.
