air pix...

With strut and wheel probs, I mention a T tail Lance or Arrow. From the rear luggage door (removed) you have an 90 degree unobstructed view behind the wing.
Once you have decided on yr best angle of subject shot depending on the lighting, plan yr flight path at 45 deg to cross yr required direction of shot. Early morning and late arvo are best for shadows to give things 'shape', as with light about 90 to angle of view.
Having the light behind you, ie direct onto the subject and straight back to the camera gives a flat uninteresting light. Not good.

Practice make perfect. Note what gives you the desired results. Experiment.

Happy snapping.... and flying.
