Newbie's first aerial video: Aiptek, Aerobird, Crash
Just thought I'd post my first ever aerial video. Just got my Aiptek Mini Pencam 1.3 today and
had to try it out. Unfortunately my crude setup (taping the camera embedded in styrofoam to the plane - on one side of the wing) didn't
work too well. I really thought it wouldn't fly at all, but it did... but didn't want to turn on the side the camera was on. I'm still having
problems with radio communication to the plane... doesn't seem to want to go the 2500 feet range it is supposed to. The guy at hobby
lobby suggested I may need to send it back to make sure the radio/receiver is tuned correctly.
Anyway... here's my video. Starting to think I should have got the Slow Stick

Anyone have suggestions on where to mount this camera? Back to the drawing board...
