Not only is there the problem of a new RC'er trying to fly this thing, but a novice flying an electric with a limited power capability (as in all electrics, and as with all novice pilots, throttle management is usually the last thing they learn and is an absolute must for electric duration) we're talking about perhaps maybe 8 minutes of flying time.. and that may be optimistic. So, this guy has to learn to fly, then find a sutable field near where the biking is going to take place, then launch the plane, find the guys on the bikes, somehow orient the plane (he will need some sort of method of transmitting to the ground so he can "see what the plane sees" in order to position the camera while flying the plane..

This is very agressive. Can it be done? Sure it can. But it is difficult for an experienced pilot let alone a beginner.

RC Cars don't relate that well to flying RC planes. There are similarities, and I know of a couple of guys that were able to merge the two hobbies together nicely, but even they would probably agree that this is a tad much to ask of a beginner.

If you intend to go ahead and try this, then start now, get the right equipment, remember that you have to have some sort of telemetry so that you can see what the camera sees, and stay in range of the transmitter on the plane.. another battery to worry about becasue now you need to power up the telemetry..

The list goes on. Just be prepared for what is needed here, and focus on that. Sure it can be done. But it will take a lot of preparation, care, training, and determination.
