Thanks for the vids. Worth the wait!
I am in the process of building a RC sailboat. Been thinking of an electric sailplane and now I'm even more interested!

I noticed the wind noise a lot on an earlier driveway video (spy sunglasses) on CR with a motorbike, so if you could lose that this device would be an excellent camera set-up for bike as well as plane!

Nope, trees don't matter, it's best to fly above them though. On page 1 of this thread there's a vid of this same camera strapped to my googles riding my 200cc Beast, once again it was a windy day and you could really hear it in the vid as well.

Glad you all enjoyed the vids, next time i'll pick a sunny day and adjust the camera so less of the nose it in the shot.

Well the new radio i just bought supports their new telemetry system, so i too can have instrumentation on the readout of my radio, like fuel level, altitude, speed, rpm, temperature, etc.

They say the hardest thing for a full size pilot learning RC is when the plane is coming back towards them.

I think i need to check out this FPV stuff ( first person view ), where you wear goggles and see the view from the camera mounted on the plane, here's a darn fine example of some sweet FPV work

what a great video! I hope you do get into that. That guy can really fly, amazing to think he could judge the gaps and distance using FPV, especially through the cranes and the slalom!
I am sure I saw a deer jump away in one of the shots too. What an incredible range, surely a couple of miles? Keep 'em coming please, meanwhile I am going back to the youtube 'related videos' for an hour ...
