Flying Wing Camera Ship


I'm in need of an electric plane that can carry a 6oz wireless camera system.  The plane needs to be hand-launchable, and be reasonably fast and have good run times so it can fly to its target and back.  It would be especially good if it could float around at low speed for a long time over its target (so I'm looking for a good speed range).  I thought a flying wing would be best for mounting a camera (keep the prop in the back).  Can someone recommend a setup?  I thought the Zagi 60 might be good.
Thanks for your help,
Chris Hansen

BTW, it does not have to be aerobatic.

It's not a wing, but the Multiplex cargo can carry up to 1 pound. It is probably opposite of what you were thinking of, but thats all that i could come up with. Hope it helped.

I'd suggest a zagnutz 52 to 60quot;  Thats what I'm running (52quot;) as my AP ship and its great and very versatlie when it comes to speed and windy days.  I'm running an axi 2808/24 with a 8X4 prop on 3cell lipos it launches easily from a throw and clibs well.  For landings it can be landed or hand caught with some practice.
Hope it helps.

heck my 48quot; wing flys an 8oz camera with not probs. built a mount for the top of the wing with balsa right on the cg. I get awesome video footage. the wing has a 14in inner cord and the thrust ration should be close to 1:1 for easy hand launching. my wing AUW with camera weighs 46oz and pushes out around 42oz thrust with the setup I'm using.

I flew a 76 inch zagnutz on a geared 300 with a camera,it was fine,GO FOR IT!!!!!
Oh yeah,a zagnutz WANTS to fly,they don't quot;justquot;fly
