Carry Environmental Sensors

>Hello Paparazzi people,
>I am new to your project, but I am really excited about what you have achieved so far.
>On the search for a platform to carry environmental sensors I came across Paparazzi and it seems to be almost perfect.
>
>What I would like to do:
>-Carry (one) camera for high resolution arial photographs (start with a standard digital camera, expand to multispectral later if possible),
>-Carry sensors for meteorological measurements,
>-increase flight time, use solar power if possible,
>
>My background:
>I have build and flown model airplanes in the past, I fly myself, and I have had quite a few thoughts about autopilot related stuff. Currently I work on a thesis about meteorological measurements.
>My University would be happy to use Paparazzi like technology for arial imagery.
>
>What I would like to have:
>-an autopilot system to install and test on one of my planes (or on one of your workhorses),
>-an estimate how much time it takes for a person with some basic programming knowledge etc. (I�m not a freak, guru or anything) to get together a ready to fly autopilot,
>-information on what has been achieved in terms of taking pictures (I�ve seen some on your website),
>-please get in touch if you could imagine to carry some sensors for the university or if we can arrange a meeting in southern Germany some time (is that were most of you are?).
>
>Looking forward to any kind of feedback,
>
>Cheers,
>Lukas
