DIY aerial photography has arrived. read all about it on search of X-Plane. 'net price is typically £80-100, I was fortunate to get a kit at £50 locally. Definition is not de luxe but good enough for prints.
I am counting the days until I can find the time to give it a go.

Hello Allan,

Looks all good fun...it lists a series of things be able to be carried...including a "bomb" :shock:

Perhaps aerial crop spraying :wink:

Here's one I took earlier..from something a little larger..G-AZLH on a mad 5 hour round trip from the old Skegness (Butlins) Aerodrome...daren't do it now.!!

All the best with your mission,

Clive, it is worth downloading the video which is free. The camera is a real diddy one, 640x480 which isn't at all bad for its size(approx matchbox), also functions as video or webcam. USB connector, 1xAAA battery.
I can't make out whether you can only take 1 picture at a time or 1 picture per flight. I must do ground checks. The glider is very flimsy and easily lost so it is best to copy the design as a template and keep the original.
You get 2 CDs in the kit. I couldn't get anywhere with the flight demo one but off-web demo is fine.
