I haven't flown the plane with it yet, but I'm sure it'll add some drag.

My traoner was scratch built as I mentioned above, and is VERY light for a 63" wing... 3.5lbs all up glow or electric. I selected a motor that woul doffer good performance for a trainer... it has plenty of power for big consectuive loops and will roll forever.

Now ny adding about 9 oz, that'll change and become just a level flyer that putts around... but that's just what you want with a camera.

Neat idea about video... My digital camera has a video feature and a 256 meg ****m card so I will try some video too... though usually the video is never the best of quality in these things. One of the newer miniDV cameras would do the trick though.

I did a review a long while back of one of those wireless cameras, but the one I used was fairly short range and I kept getting interference from the prop on electric and too much vibration on glow...

Yeah them blenders can be hard on a plane but sure are awesome to watch... I bet the [link=http://www.airfoilz.com]Airfiolz[/link] design will take them though... it's got 3 layers of laminated foam with two full length balsa spars...
