Default RE: the prefect platform for aerial photography

Finished installing the radio equipment as you can see from the first pict.
Now for the video equipment first I had to modify a few cables for proper length.
In the past smaller planes made installation snug but I usually never had to add additional cabling like in this big bird.

For the camera and the mount I used a whether resistant tube camera with 600 line res and aluminum strap (and dens foam padding) to make the fixed forward mounted cam.
The mount was setup to give to best view for flying the plane.
An additional cam will be added near the tail of the plane for a look at the ground a little later.
