"The computer can fly a plane that would be impossible to fly for a human.  You still need to make sure that the plane is at least human controllable if you want to do anything meaningful with it.  Mine can fly completely hands-off which takes a huge…"

"How well does it fly manually?  Its always best to take one problem at a time.   Be certain that your design is stable when flying manually to reduce the amount of correction needed which will also give you a more stable camera platform.  It sounds…"

"Let me start this with saying that I'm a software/systems engineer by day and a tinkerer by night.  I know how to drive the software and the models that I've designed perform within reasonable margins of the simulations. 

It sounds to me like FRP…"

"What kind of tools do you have?  It sounds like you need to find a good hobby shop that still has construction materials and get yourself a nice hobby knife, some sanding blocks and a razor saw or two.  I can't imagine doing anything in this hobby…"

"You could also use a RX designed for a carbon fuse.  We have RF challenges in high performance sailplanes thanks to the large amount of conductive carbon fiber in the airframe.  Maybe you can also help abate some of the noise with a toroidal choke…"
