RC Air to Air Video-A Good Day in the Sunshine

RC Formation Flight with aerial video showing view from 20 ft in front and 20 ft in back of 2 RC aircraft. The fishing line helped keep the two aircraft 20 feet apart. And those black specks in the sky are buzzards!

thanks

[bigpinecone]

yeah it's awesome!

how and where did you attach the fishing line though?

also does the trailing airplane have an rc system in it?

[SteveGlaviano]

Hi, I used an Octave Multipod Pen cam. I glued a piece of hardwood to the bottom rear of the tow plane, and attached a small metal hook to attach the fishing line. The white plane is an all styrofoam glider (about $5). I drilled and inserted (and epoxied) a wooden dowel into the nose, and attached another small hook into the dowel. No rc equipment on the glider. Good luck, and let me know how your video turns out.

cool!!! i don't know if i'll be able to get a video but i can definately get pics. i'll probably put an rc system in the towplane though, like an aerotow deal.

do you think you could get some ground footage of it?

seems like it would be really cool to watch.

thanks,
