Interesting aircraft. Not sure where the camera would go however you could make a larger nose cone to fit.
I use motor Turnigy GliderDrive

During the flight in mode Fly by Wire B current just only 7A ( 20% programmed )
This is enough to keep constant altitude. I use on board battery 3 cells 3200ma, but for some kind of flight you can use 3 cell 5000ma.
I think , for special flights you can use another motor for better long term flight
Looks nice!
If you get a chance, can you post a flight log? I'm interested in seeing what sort of range a model like this would have for search and rescue applications. A flight log (along with what type of battery is fitted) would give me some idea of what it can do.
