http://www.altiuas.com/ VTOL from South Africa , Knysna. powerful electric VTOL system allows the Transition to take-off and land in confined spaces and once at altitude, a 20cc four stroke petrol motor keeps the system airborne for up to 6 hours with support for a wide range of payloads and sensors that can quickly be swapped out and setup. Fully featured autonomous PX4 based open and proprietary software and hardware avionics system with easy to use ground control systems to suite.

For night time operation use the X8 flying wing and with custom modified ESC speed control at 20khz(above human hearing), instead of 4khz. Every hour the X8 lands and has its battery swapped out with DIY CncControllers that moves in the x,y,z axis.

Aeromao frame[]

Uses pilon racer frame, attached to a pod. Smaller pod will result in higher speed but less endurance.

Ideas[]

Build a d5f pylon racer but make the body larger and attache small dome camera to underside, that can retract back into the fuselage when landing. Electric pylon RC racer that flies at over 200km/h. Or place the electric motor on top the fuselage,wing structure and form a round dome in the nose of the plane, merged with the fuselage and the camera inside at the front.

http://www.rctoys.com/rc-toys-and-parts/DF-TANGORC/RC-AIRPLANES.html

Although the DF Tango has exceptional roll and yaw stability in winds and turbulence, it has also been equipped with a flight leveling system similar to the thermal intelligence used on the Draganflyer V Ti. This feature consist of four thermal sensors and some intricate circuitry that can tell the difference between the ground and the sky
