Spur of the moment camera flight
Nothing special, but it was a nice day out and decided to fly my Limbo Dancer, but the Rx pack needed charging leaving me with 30mins to kill...
So i dug out an old digi cam (£20 from Tesco a few years ago) make a servo platform wrapped it up in packing tape and mounted it to the plane, worked a treat
Sorry about the bad/fuzzy pics, but my current best camera is on my phone... [:'(]
Camera wrapped in tape, and balsa structure CA'd to it
Whole thing wrapped in tape to stiffen it up, and stop the servo blowing away [:-]
Bit of scrap ply glued to the bottom and put under the wing bands, servo connected to an aux channel
One reason for doing this was to prove the camera mount setup, and it seems fine, even after throwing the plane around a bit, theres not 1 weak joint, just need a camera that'll do video now

Nice job. It's kind of funny, but your elevators, rudder, and ailerons seem to be in the exact same position in every shot! I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Anyway, good pics.
