[Paxmax]

cool idea

[solidenber]

pretty cool

[mryellow123]

Now it has protection... why not mount the camera on the bottom where it can see something other then the nose?

[solidenber]

@mryellow123 looks like he has it angled down so it would seem more like he was "really" flying it.

that must degrade the video quality big time

Looks great, but from aerodynamic's point of view it is rather drag generator. It is really aerodynamically correct in front, but at the back you will have strong, probably unsteady separation, and as I suppose, your engine could sometimes overheat, cause its in "shadow" of canopy. Good thing you did, is a skewed back antenna.

So, next generation of your canopy should have smoother back as you probably seen in A-10 or F/A-18 canopies.

But anyway, great work :)

aww!

For anybody interested in making canopies like this at home, should check out videos regarding VACUUM FORMING AT HOME. You can make perfect clear cockpits and canopies & many other useful RC stuff... Its cheap to build... Check it out

what is your video transmiter and reciever setup? what range does it has?

Im kinda noob on this things, and I wish to have a setup with like 1 - 2km of range.

I also have a 40mhz setup with 50-100m range stock, is it useful for anything?

thanks, thebeast :)

glare or reflection?

[MrFlench]

Going to have to figure out what bottle so I can do this to my Wild Hawk .

[anthony3leaves]

can that work on an nitro rc car??? if it does, can u tell me what kind that is and where to get it??? i rly rly want to kno!!

[smokytyrz]

Looks great! How does the picture come out from inside that canopy? Any glare issues?

[Flight1142]

WONDERFUL!!!

[lvsupertech]

VERY COOL!!

[JoeVSvolcano]

1L PET bottle?! There are 1000's.. What brand specifically did you use?

[Zoomer1973]

Looks Like a soft drink bottle to me - the type Fanta uses.

[Erbalite]

Very Smooth design! Aerodynamically and Mechanically.

Pan tilt one servo is a lite way to get the job done and steady with the "lens protector tilt control rod".

[fddgrere]

Good looking canopy.

I like the idea oif the 1 servo pan/tilt.

Publish your set up somewhere. It would be

worth reading about.

[scroopy]

nice!
