Latch66 is right any added weight is bad, but for the Slow Stick you will be fine. It can carry the extra load OK. I have used a standard receiver and standard servos in that plane just fine. The camera adds more weight, so don't push it any further...

I also agree that the Slow Stick can carry the extra weight. It probably isn't the best equipment choice, but it has the power and a large wing surface to stay in flight. I know where you are coming from, any way I can save money, I'll give it a try!
Good luck,
Mike

I use a 30 amp ESC and JR R700 reciever on mine no problem. I've even flown it in 20 mph wind gusts, not a lot of fun, but it is pretty stable.
I would suggets using a balsa stick in the fuse tube to add strength. Makes it about impossible to bend even if you auger it in.

I like the 7 and 8 cell 1100 Mah NiMHs from www.bydusa.com. I get at least 15 minutes on those batteries, usually more. And in the case of the Slow Stick you can definitely use regular sized gear.

Well I just saw that www.bydusa.com is no longer operating. Bummer! The 2/3A 1100 7 cell for $12.50 and 8 cell for $15 were great deals. www.allerc.com has a lot of GWS parts and batteries for good prices.
