Hum, looks like it might be fun to play with. Here are the specs:
- Takes 26 digital pictures by radio control while flying
- AWACS appearance
- 55" wingspan
- Twin, electric-ducted fan jet engines
- Simple thrust vector steering control
- Push button camera control
- 1,000-foot flying range
- Additional rechargeable flight battery included
- Includes home and auto chargers
- E-Z Launch Takeoff System ensures expert launches
- Easy for beginners and fun for experienced flyers
- Digital camera is Windows compatible
26 images are a bit low, and the camera should be slung under the body of the plane. You want to see the ground, not the sky. Yeah, you lose the ‘AWACS‘ look but you get more funtionality. If your wanting to buy one of these just remember when it comes to R/C planes you get what you pay for. This plane has no control surfaces, the direction is controled by giving more or less power to one the motors on the wings. Want to turn right, you give more power to the left motor. Your not going to be pulling any fancy acrobatics with this craft. It also looks to be made out of foam so one arrested landing via a tree trunk is going to leave a mark. Buy extra wings and some tape. If you see one on a discount table someplace pick it up, but don’t pay full retail. If you just can’t wait to take pictures from the air of somthing give kite aerial photography a try.
