:) Hello everyone, I am a little new to all of this a freind of mine got me into this and alot of other things intrested me as well... A few questions, what is the differance between this plane:
http://www.hobbytron.com/PredatorUAVRCPlane.html

and this one at littlebirdz:
http://littlebirdz.com/proddetail.php?prod=LBPRED

also if some could tell me how much a camera would be to buy and put one of these two as well, and make it fuctional. Im sure there is a thread someone could point out some where or i could just search for it but who knows...

Also if someone could give me a little bit more detailed about the littlebirdz one as well, like why is it so much cheaper then the hobbytron one its almost 40$ less...

Well i guess thats it for now, thanks alot in advanced

The littlebirdz is designed for AP.
The other is a toy.
For a camera, Megapixels outweigh zoom for AP.
Small and light are important.

Oops, your post changed between my first read and reply.
Sure, you can fly it without the camera as long as it is balanced properly.
You may need to start out with a trainer and practice for a year or two before you fly that one.

I am assuming you are new to R/C flight as well as AP.

Flying remote control airplanes is not easy. Some airplanes are designed for beginners. These make the learning process easier and cheaper.
You will crash. You don't want to be flying something that took weeks to build and will be difficult to repair.

Best route... get a trainer type airplane and find an instructor.
