Will maybe putting music to this one later as well. Was aboe to pull off a few controller loops, and barrel rolls before saying the heck with it and bringing it back before losing it to the wind for it was getting worse.

WORD OF WARNING! Turn your speakers off or down, its loud!

Thanks for the heads up, and its been fixed.

Nice video....the quality of the video is pretty amazing for such a small platform....still the pen cam?

 

[OUCaptain]

Whoa. Where did you find solid fuel boosters that last the whole flight?

Pretty cool. One of these days I want to set up an aerial photography rig on my heli. AP is tons of fun.

edit: I hope that was you fiddling with the sticks at the end. Other wise, that is some really bad glitching.

 

[funboy6942]

Yup still that cheap $23 spy pen, and it was glitching because it ws on the other side of the house I was at, and I had already turned my antenna in on my controller so it was picking up some near by radio crap.

But all in all, though a windy day, I like the placement of that camera in that spot and plan on doing more experiments with angles from that spot. Again on a much less windy day, it would look soooo much better.

That cheap ass camera I must say is holding up great, Ive even torn it apart and put it back together, and its crashed on the plane 5 times so far and hasnt quit yet so I got my $23 out of it now

very realistic! i could have sworn my head has strapped to a real plane motor!

in 1980, even

 

[funboy6942]

I hit the reset button and it went back in time to 1980 when it hit 55 mph as I was making a quick decent

And I too like that view. I am going to try a reverse so you can see the front wing and prop, but I feel the prop will be too fast to really see, and there are no flaps on this model (3 channel, its all done at the rear) so really no flap flap action going on, may be boring, but will see. So far though, tail section is by far my fav so far then just pointing it down.

Im also going to make up some fliers and see if I can do some local aerial shots for people of their property, or property they want to buy for $20-$50 a pop

See if i can recoup some money back from all of this and still have fun doing it

 

[pontifex]

I didn't like the rear view much. the tail end is in the way and ruins the view.

Good lord the sound is atrocious.

 

[Crono]

Definitely better than first video. It was pretty good, but if it were a calm day and the camera was front facing it would be even sweeter.

Its a $23 spy camera that looks like a pen I got for $23 shipped from Hong Kong, cant have everything

Besides that, its sits right next to the motor so Im sure it peeks the level meter and then some which is why it sounds more like a rocket then an electric motor

I plan on dubbing music over it later anyway for I like watching my videos to music better then just hearing it petter putter, or whine, and usually use Jazz as my back music to calm me down and relax me so I get the best of all worlds.

I do have plans of going forward with it on a calm day and seeing how that works out, I did this way, and like this way better so far as I said for Im a mechanical minded kinda dude, and I like watching the tail and rudder and it flew, as well as a kick ass sky line.

The other way which was pointing down gave no focal point, so it was just way too much all over the place and just sucked. Even on a calm day I think it will still suck, so its going to be either forward or backwards depending on my mood or how many batteries I have charged that day, which should be 4 very soon then just 2, and Im going to video each flight from now on. Why? Because I have the means and can, and if you all are good and nice to me I may share them all with you
