P3D Model planes

I have done aerial photography from my Senior Telemaster radio controlled plane, with an old Minolta point-and-shoot.  It's not a trivial technique, but it does work.  Engine vibration is indeed a factor.

The magazine Model Aviation had a letter about stereo pairs from such planes, the author indicated it worked well.  It was done with pictures taken in rapid sequence, as suggested here.

Here's an interesting web page on 2-D aerial mapping from models, using the same plane that I use:
