Horizon Hobbies E-flite T-34 flight with FlyCam on board

[jamesvok]

The video is taken with a stationary camera which is the flycam2 from hobby lobby. I made two flights and combined the video using Microsoft movie maker which is freeware. Glad to see that you like the video. They are easy to make and quite a bit of fun.

This looks really great with that camera mounted! Are you able to watch the video while flying or does it not broadcast? Is it just a straight recording device?

[jamesvok]

you are right about the song. My original was deleted by YouTube because of their copyright stuff so I picked what was available and different. Hope you at least like the flight!

good video except the weird song, kinda killed it

There is a slight balance problem, which is overcome with some opposite aileron trim. Nothing too big if you are expecting it though. Very easy and quick to do with that little camera.

Awesome Video, I have the same plane. Where are you placing the camera when it looks like it is at the edge of the wing tip? How are you mounting it?

[jamesvok]

Thanks! The camera is mounted in two different positions, one is close to the fuse looking back toward the tail, and I later moved it to the end of the wing looking toward the canopy. I used the FlyCam2 and just attached it with a little sticky velcro to the wing. Never moved at all. I used the same setup with my 100cc gas Yak-54, but it vibrates too much for good video. Also, my Reactor Bipe had the camera mounted on the top wing too, which worked great.

Does the camera on the tip of the wing cause any out of balance problems?
