Default Starting a UAV, Payloads?

Hi, i am getting ready to build an experiment UAV out of a 61 trainer with an os65LA, i was just wonder if someone could give me a ballpark payload before i start buying equiptment for it. Im planning to start with just the basic camera guided with instruments, then i plan to add gps guidance later down the road.

Woulden't put more than 3-5lb of payload in it. Structructure won't handle it. Might want to consider changing the rubberband wing mounting method.
