i know i will be up for sure tomorrow. i just built in a cvs camcorder into my 4 star 40. the cam is very lightweight. if anyone has seen these i have made it approx. half the size. its an in-cockpit cam so no aerodynamic changes were made. re-balanced the plane with fuel tank empty of course. i will put up the video and pics up tomorrow. its should look fairly good too. the cam gets 40fps, 15 min of video then i just dump it onto my laptop. res is 640*480. i have to thank my bro for helping me out though. he did alot of the wiring and came up with some good ideas along the way.

total weight added- 1/6th of a pound

look forward to the vid! Is the cam hacked so you can reuse it?

I'd love to go flying but it's supposed to be 112 at the field today soooo.... I think I'll go wakeboarding instead.

Let's see the vid!

ok 3 great flight however some small camera issues. o srry the camera is hacked so it is reusable. ok but im just having an issue with power so it only running for mabey 2 minutes. however i did get a take off. do u want me to still put it up. it is the first try with it so it might take a little to perfect it.

1. remove canopy for better viewing/ or new canopy made out of 1/16 plex.
2. new battery 6v
3. minor camera angle adjustment.

as u can see there is still a little work but other than that its running pretty good. the great thing was that i didnt have to add any weight to the plane to balance it, i just had to move the battery around a little.

take care in removing the canopy. find out if it matters. some planes don't handle well without it I hear.
