Hello all,

This is my new untested rig I'm working on. I'm about rdy for the first flight on it.

This is my mast for the Rx, this setup was used at the Ice races. Worked really good. I'm going to try and get it setup at the LAF too.

Yeah I have thought about that too. I was thinking maybe running a hose to past the main gear maybe. Or going with a tuned pipe

Maybe the first run you can pan cam to the side on take off that may help.also keep in mind isolation of vibration seems to be most important

This is looking good. I'm also building a new P/T using high(er) torque mini/mico servos. I cannot tell due to the photo angles what and how you connected the first servo to the second one, and how you connected the second servo to the camera ? What's your technique ?

Polk hobbies has a new mini retract 180 degree servo that I purchased for panning. I haven't used it yet.

Well I started off with modding the two servos. They rotate 360 deg. I have the left - right on ch. 1 and the up - down on ch. 2 the pan and tilt is ran from a separate Rx and batt pack then the rest of the plane. I got the mod for the servos here. http://www.rc-cam.com/pancam.htm in the Pan & Tilt the Old Fashion Way. All I did to mount the two servos was took a large round servo horn and epoxied them together so its going to take alot of force to remove them from each other. If anyone likes I can take the platform off the plane for some better pics. I made it so I can change out what is mounted on the plane.

Please "dress" up the wires! I would hate to see that beautiful setup relocated when its' secondary function as an arresting hook activated....[X(]
