l have an f18 hornet im still putting together after 2 years, like cost me a freekin fortune, more than me pc !
l in the mean time got bored of flying my prop plane so l went into choppers, and have been crashing them ever since, l am hoping as lm a much improved pilot now after much practice and many stuff ups , to put a camera on it , but it requires a second reciever, battery, and servo, plus needs to be mounted balanced, l am wondering if any of you have done this on a plane or even a rocket ?

l have gone for an electric chopper , the Dragonfly, its light very unstable, but has alot of thrust / lift, a carbon fibre chassis, it can cop more weight, making it alot more stable, its very prone to updrafts and flipping when hovering at 30 to 60 cm above ground, with added weight the problem is minimised. l can fit one lipstick size camera [ colour ] one battery directly under main rotor shaft, and the reciever to the rear of the gyro box.
Knowing if a camera and reciever extra will mess with the gyro would be nice.....Electric motors put different ranges and amounts of RF interferrence, at different revs, so......


Anyone whos done something as crazy as this, some help would be cool.

any tips , thanks...
