Now that I have done my beginner plane, acrobatic plane, glider and warbird, I want to try my hands on aerial photography.
Started to scratch build my own UAV - I just bought a Olympus FE230 (105grams, 7.1MP) from ebay costing me £84.
I started with the wings - I think I will do a simple flat bottom wing 1400mm using depron foam and a carbon spar. Will make it as light as possible.
Next with the body - need a compartment for the camera to be mounted. Will make a rectangle body and have the underside covered in clear plastic so that my camera can be mounted inside to shoot.
I have been doing some research on this and there are many people with success on using high-resolution digital cameras for such aerial photo with great results.
