Camera in Model Airplane Snaps Aerial Photographs
Item
Two youthful model-airplane experimenters havenadded photography to their hobby and are now taking aerial pictures from their pilotless craft. To compensate for the weight of the camera which is placed in a trapdoor beneath thes fuselage, two of the landing wheels have been removed from the ship. Photographs are taken from aboute seventy-five feet up, and since the craft cannot be controlled from the ground it is set to fly a circular course, the usual flying time being fixed at forty seconds. The timer that cuts the motor for landing also automatically opens the trapdoor and releases the shutter after the plane has started to settle and vibration ceases. The ship used has a wingspread of six feet and its gasoline motor is one-twenty-fifth horsepower.
