I am curious, what is the benefit to having the camera so far in front? Is it a CG thing so that you can run heavier cameras on a shorter boom in the future?
i have a similar camera pod. bearospace channel. episode 111 flight ot the lake. there are a couple of scenes with that shot. im sure you will enjoy. have fun bear.
Nice build. Is there some flex in the wing or are the shafts leading to the elevator/rudder flexing or is it just the long rods to the camera that makes the plane seem to be rollercoasting?
@Cjudd001 the wings have 3 5mm rods as connecting spars. They allow the wings to flex enough to alleviate some of the stresses. The "rollercostering" is due to the fact that the camera is on a 4 foot boom in front of the airplane, causing small pitch changes to appear larger.
@Cjudd001 ... if putting a video camera on a plane teaches us anything, it's that everything flexes -- and the longer it is, the more it flexes. (And that boom is mighty long!)
I am really impressed with your design, build, and video overall. I did something similar 12 years ago. We completely kit bashed/scratch built a custom sig kadet senior/twin engine, 84" wingspan. 900 mgz 2 mile videolink, still 35mm camera, rotating camera platforms. Super stable yet areobatic. Check out my channel. It may give you a few new ideas to play around with.
Why did you mount the camera so far forward?

22lbs of airplane to carry such a small camera?!? W.P.O.C.

I've added this to my favourites because I love the drama you've created! Well done.

all that time and money for what? An easystar can get a better picture than that plane anyday for half the cost and half the weight.

dude, theres a lot of flexing in the wing, surprised it didn't snap, nice build.

what method did you use to construct it?

@TheRattleSnake3145 its a foam airplane, all custom designed and cut. The entire plane is then all laid up in fiberglass, smoothed, and painted
