large (about 5 acres) so I was thinking about an electric of some type.
What would be a decent choice for an electric that is small enough to

I'm not new to flying, it's just that I fly electric mostly.  I now have a

failed to percieve that the flap switch was in the "landing" position
(which in this case was preset to up flaps, down elevator) prior to

I'm looking for a camera for my plane. I know, nothing special, there
are hundreds of posts for me to search through deja (google groups)
with the same request.
But I want something different. I'm not looking for a wireless camera.
