My latest 2.4ghz effort!
My latest effort!
BlackwidowAV 200mw tx, CX-161 CCD camera powered by a Kokam 2C 1020 LiPo pack w/5v regulator. Got pics of the plane and cam someplace but haven't uploaded to the puter yet.
Got it mounted on an Ultra Stick 60 again facing to the rear. This time I added foam under the "sled" where it contacts the wing, foam between the sled and the housing, more foam around the camera (still shaking) and I isolated the tx from the housing using more foam along with foam wrapped around the mic with every thing wrapped in foam.
Lobster Thermadore in Crevats with egg bacon foam sausage and foam.
Isolating the tx from the housing has eliminated those pesky vibration lines. They re-appeared just before landing and I believe the tx must have shifted till it is touching the camera box again.
The wind was picking up a lot so we only got the one 10 minute flight in.
I am VERY happy with this system. Two thumbs up!
I have two versions posted, one which is 13 megs or so and medium res, the other is 26 megs or so and is a much higher res.

I also purchased a 900mhz patch antenna on Ebay (love they way RCU links THEIR auction site to that word) and hope to bring out the Kadet Senior ARF with the high res CCD camera soon. I dont believe this antenna has a circular pattern like the BWAV 2.4ghz patch antenna but for the KSA it isnt crucial.
