Hi guys, i'm about to take a little step into the Aereal Photography stuff, i have a camera and made a balsa camera mount and stuff...

My concern is if the airplane will be able to carry the weight

I will put the camera on a Tower Trainer 40 and i was wondering if any of you have any idea on the maximum payload of a trainer this size

The camera will be mounted on the side of the fuse

Thanks

Thanks mate, i'm not sure I understood the "David Murray" part but I guess it means there will be no problems

Should I expect a violent or mild banking to the left on take-off? That's the side where the camera will be

As in......No worrys ,, no it wont cause any swing during takeoff , it may need a bit of opposite rudder as the speed comes up and while flying , the main reason for swing during take off is torque from the prop , so always thottle up slowly....ok'e dok'e ??

Yes sir

I'll post some pics as soon as i can.. IF i can

As you add more weight your stall speed goes up. This means that you have to land at a higher speed as well as get more speed to take off. To calculate this speed you need to know your wing loading. This is the total weight of your plane divided by the wing area. From that you can calculate the stall speed. If you really want to get an overall understanding of R/C flight dynamics I would recommend Andy Lennon's book "R/C Model Aircraft Design". It's the best R/C book I have read.
