Status: offline 		Aerobird Extream has been recently added to my hangar as aerial photography platform.

The most interesting thing I'd like to share with aerial photography enthusiasts is the upgrade I have performed on this "bird".

1) 233g stock motor has been replaced with 106g Axi 2814/16 motor with twice the power.

2) 309g block of NiCd accumulators (7.2V / 1700mAh) replaced with 145g Tunder Power 3S 2100mAh 12V LiPo.

Overall weight savings from 1) and 2) is 291g.

Origional Aerobird receiver replaced with:

1- FUTABA 4 ch. FM receiver;
2-Simprop V-Tail mixer;
3-2x FUTABA micro-Servos;

The weight saving from the origional receiver board replacement is 32g.

The total weight savings is about 320g, which look very prommising to set up SD Card based HD Video Camera with ~280g weight.

Additionaly "How High" altitude meter has been added (5g total) and custom modified prop.

To control this advanced setup the tail has been converted into pro-tail for "sharper" responce.

Please, see photos below:
