Nice flying and briliant view. You can change easily date and time on the camera. D.

@arc0davella Thank you . Please tell me more about changing the time and date as last time I tried you had to use a pedophile and I did not want to go any further . LOL :)

[arc0davella]

@michaelrc1

You need to create file TAG.txt and inside put line after line [date]

save and copy to main folder on Your camera ( I have 2 of them) and disconnect camera and then power off and its fine. File is gone from camera when You check it - its ok.

Good luck in future flying and see You around :-)

nice job on the video,plane flys well to ,

[chrisjdoran]

Wow that's awesome footage for a six euro cam lol, how come none of mine look this good? can you send me the e-bay link to the seller?

Great build by the way, can you come over and build me one :o)

[michaelrc1]

@chrisjdoran I like that word awesome thank you. I lost that plane to the wind with them cameras on board but I have since bought more from e-store-family at app 7.50 each inc pp they are 720*480 and one on each wing near the tips away from electronics They are very much affected by vibration so a well balanced prop and plenty of gliding and with your radian you will make a laugh of my videos

[chrisjdoran]

@michaelrc1 I will check out that store, I read somewhere that these 808 key-chain cams now come in HD 1280x.. will find one eventually lol

I was flying the rad today with a new HD cam i modified, and i'm blown away by the footage :o) will upload it tonight!

And I have lost at least three cams, plane goes one way cam goes another haha i always follow the plane and say goodbye to the cam, I'm glad there cheap..

[michaelrc1]

@chrisjdoran Well at least you got your plane back . I made the mistake of flying with the wind and not enough power to get back so I left it land in a forest away from roads and houses . Is that true about the key cam in hd . Looking forward to seeing your very posh hd footage . Next you will be driving a seven series

[quorneng]

Good video and the plane flies nicely but I like to see the launch and landing as well!

[michaelrc1]

@quorneng Glad you liked it .I myself like to see the launch and landing but the video editor is very imprecise They were uneventful and besides this vid was more about the scenery and less about the plane as the plane itself got lost to the wind on the next flight

[robbie7730]

Thats brilliant, where are you livin, we will have to get out flyin

[atari7up]

Great view...what camera u used?

[michaelrc1]

@atari7up Thank you . The cameras are key fob spy cameras they cost around 6 euro from ebay

[atari7up]

@michaelrc1 , ic..thanks for the info...i've used spy pen cam too..but the result is too poor from yours

[michaelrc1]

@atari7up The cameras used have a video resolution of 720*480 pixels which is noticeably better than previous lower resolution models also I find the key fob design easier to mount on my planes

[bckillick]

Nice flight man, great view from way up there, amazing what we can accomplish with a lot of skill , a little coin and balls of steel...keep on filming , this is great stuff and thanx for checkin out my channel too. bckillick

[michaelrc1]

@bckillick I am hoping to to do a lot more of this as it combines two of my hobbies but I have to build another plane and get more cameras as due to inexperience I lost that plane to the wind

[flyby8906]

I would like to see this plane, it really fly's great nice and stable great job!!!

[michaelrc1]

@flyby8906 That plane was very similar to the free rubbish plane except for a 2*1*36inch balsa stick fuse and the wing span was 50inches made from 3mm coroplast from an old sign and foam from a camping mat. When trying to make my own wings I find it very difficult to find the c of g leading to allot of crashes . This was the only video I have from this plane as on the next flight I found it was no good in the wind and I haven't seen it since. Using a radian wing is easier

[michaelrc1]

@flyby8906 this plane is the same as the one in home made balsa rc glider plane maiden
