RE: Flying over neighborhoods?
Only problem with any park flyer is the inability to handle wind that a larger bird like even a forty size trainer will handle with ease.
Right now I'm waiting on a digital camera with video output to take AP with. Maybe the bigger bird is a bit more on the dangerous side, but it's benefits outweigh the negatives.
With the video downlink from the camera I can take photos from a safer vantage point and aim my camera using the television as a view finder.
Less hit and miss than going up, taking a bunch of shots and landing, hoping I've gotten a good one.
A slow stick can't handle that kind of payload.
