Wedge-tailed eagle attacks rc glider at Kilcunda Australia
Remote control aircraft,more like a unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)?
i was planning to make a remote aircraft which length is about 1.5-1.8 metre.But i have problems regarding where and how to get a powerful electric motor which capable or moving my 12kg aircraft.And worst still,i dont know where to get those wireless camera with zoom,and nightvision capable.Im also still thinking on where to get the radio receiver and transmitter capable of streaming videos up in the air to my laptop.Could you guys help me find the engines and where to get the wireless camera?Giv me the url link.Im planning to make this aircraft cum uav to fly abt 70km in the air with an altitude of less than 1000ft.Do i need to get cleareance to fly Rc plane?
Here's a company that sells not only electric motors but also complete kits of planes such as you describe:

There's also a magazine, "Backyard Flyer", that you can research for both articles and tons of supplier ads.
Remote cameras are plentiful and it should only take a search on your terms (wireless camera "night vision", etc.) to find lots of sources.
The other question I can answer. Even at your intended limit of 70 km altitude (presumably AGL), you might well have a problem with FAA permission to fly this craft in certain controlled airspaces such as airport approaches. The question won't be what altitude you do fly it, but what altitude the aircraft could possibly achieve (for instance, if you were to lose control over it while it's in an ascending control configuration). Even the Border Patrol is having trouble with this little item as a number of recent articles have reported, and if they're having trouble with the FAA you can imagine what trouble you'll have! In any case, be *sure* you contact the FAA or an aviation attorney with your question directly.
You'll have another problem as well. This sounds like a "surveillance" or "spy" plane to me. Even if your purposes are "legitimate"...such as security, landscape photography, etc....you will likely have privacy issues (liability!) to deal with so be sure to get a qualified legal opinion on this as well. You can't peek over your neighbor's fence and photograph his activities...whether it's with a plane or a stepladder...without running afoul of privacy laws.
Finally, there may be local laws and regulations to contend with. For instance, even an electric aircraft makes noise, and it sounds like you want to fly this at night. Check with your local city/county government - usually there will be something called a "Code Enforcement" department where you can check this out.
