Speaking of hyperstereo...

Well, looks like I'm going to be able to go up in a plane and take some
panoramic aerial hypers of my hometown (Chicago) before I move away next
month. I plan on using a single camera (most likely an old Canon F-1 or
A-1) with motordrive.  I figure that I'll need 8 to 10 sequential pictures
of each view to get the best match.  The archives have a nice discussion
of this topic that gave me some good hints as to how fast to shoot, but I
still have a few questions.  Of course, i bet that I'm not thinking of
something that someone who's tried this before can fill me in on!  I want
to get this right, because with the expense there will only be 45 minutes
in the air and no second chance for a long while.

Would Kodachrome 25 be appropriate assuming that the day is nice and
sunny?  Or would K64 be a safer bet.  

I've got the choice of going up at 8 AM, 10 AM or Noon.  I'm just looking
for "normal" skyline shots.  I figure that noontime shots will do the best
for this, because the sun will be high in the sky.  Am I wrong here?  

I've been shooting with a Kodak stereo for about 5 years, but when it
comes to full frame stereo, I'm pretty much a rank amateur.  If I'm
doing 2x2 mounting, should I trust Kodak to mount these, or should I mount
them myself?  

Thanks!
