Newbie with questions

[P3D Paul Albers <PAlbers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My main hobby is modle rockets, and I have been toying with the
idea of creating a modle rocket that will take 3d pictures.  I
have read the FAQ, and surfed the WWW a bit for info on how I may
do this and I have a few questions.  Because this will be going
into a modle rocket, there are a few restrictions I must deal with.

1.  Weight *must* be kept as low as possible
2.  equipment must be fairly inexpensive since every launch puts
    it at risk of being lost or destroyed
3.  35mm film, no special processing (ie: 1/2 frame side-by-side format)

After reading the FAQ, a beamsplitter looks like the best bet for this
project.  Is is possible to make a decent beam splitter?  Have any of you
done this?  If so, any plans or advice would be very much apprieciated

Is Pentax's beamsplitter very heavy or expensive?  About how large is it
and what cameras can it be used with?

Image Tech's single use camera: has anyone reloaded and used it?
If I block off one of the end lenses, will that simulate a decent
1/2 frame side-by-side format, or are the lenses too close together?
If I reload it, and don't block off any lens, can a regular photoshop
make 1/2 frame side-by-side prints from the negative?

I hope to take the pitures from an alltitude of 500 to 1000 ft.  What
kind of lens separation should I use?

If anyone has any other info or advice that would help, please share it
with me.  

Thanks in advance:

Paul
