  • Hi There, not got one, sorry.

  • We just used the existing screws on the tail and a bit of bent aluminium. Work a treat!

  • Well now, I haven't inspected the top of the vertical fine on a Sundowner but if it's anything like the archer then it will have a plastic fairing held on with screws, if this is the case, use this point to mount the camera. We just made up a right angle piece of aluminium and screwed it on using the fairing screws - three of them I think. As for flight handling, there were no changes at all, I doubt it would make any difference regardless to what moves you made. Hope this helps.

  • Because the camera can't handle that much light.

  • No, the camera's tiny and the plane is of reasonable size, the rig we used to mount it was just a 90 degree piece of aluminium that bolted to the top of the fin where there are existing mount holes. Just to re-mention, I'm a aircraft engineer by trade so I know what the plane and rig would have been capable of. Cheers!

    Can you send me a picture of your mount ? Would appreciate your help, thanks !

  • @fortressislandfilms Can we buy your mount anywhere? And will it work the same if we put it on the wing? Or do we have to screw it in?

  • i wish i could be the plane...

  • How did you mount the camera? On their 3M adhesive?

  • @danthecat21 it's an "error" that happens on overbright areas in certain videos.

  • Hey there! Great video by the way, and if you would be so kind, please answer the following question. I am a cpl student and for our graduation we want to create a video with our school planes. Wed like to mount a go pro camera on a plane, the model being a Beechcraft Sundowner, what would be the best place to mount it and how would the aerodynamics be affected. What would we have to do in order to guarantee a safe flight... avoid steep turns, sideslips... etc? Again, my compliments for the vid!
