I've been thinking about trying APM in an airplane, and looking at different planes to get. I just had the thought that I already have a few planes that I'm not using, and this one seems like the most likely candidate. It's in good shape, but hasn't flown in a few years.
How well would this type of airplane work with APM? My intended use would mostly be for aerial surveying. I'm sure I could drop in a huge gas tank, and with the 56 purring along, could stay up for a long time.
My biggest concerns are with the engine. Flameouts, and oil spraying down the cockpit getting on the camera, etc.
Is anybody else using a plane like this?
