More experimenting and it was obvious that the faster the plane, the tougher it was to keep the Stryker stable behind the towing aircraft. Giant scale %1s and such did not work so well. It took a lot of work for the person flying the Stryker to keep the towing aircraft in sight. We found that the Stryker was much more stable when a lot of up trim was set and we would get a lot less slack in the line. We were invited to fly at MacDills Open House again and were ready this time. By this time I had converted the Hawk to electric power, vibration was no longer an issue so I made a camera mount that could be controlled with a separate controller. The following is the video of that event.
