P3D Aerial Stereos from a model airplane

I just attended a meeting of the "Charles River R/Cers", a model airplane club that meets monthly in Waltham, MA.  An architect showed photos he had taken of his high school addition project using his "Wingo" battery powered "Park Flyer".  He says the 20oz plane can carry a payload of 5oz max and he was able to attach a Canon Elph LT and a servo to click the shutter.  The prints were 4x7" and of high quality.

He didn't take any stereos, but it would be easy for him to do just by clicking rapidly while the plane was flying straight ahead.  I will ask him to try it.  Meanwhile, I want to learn to fly that plane.

A number of students at the high school are trying to duplicate his feat as a science project.  They are all buying the plane and learning to fly it!

Regards -Ralph
