You don't want to use this camera for several reasons. Auto-focus has issues, it's really heavy and with the Aptek, Sony and Toshiba models out now in the under $150 range, they are both a lot lighter and with fixed focus, better for rc plane use.
As soon as I can squirrel away a few bucks, I'll be changing cameras. I'm looking for one that has a video OUT built in so I can take the next step and do the FPV via goggles etc.
hello,
are you using the stock setup or did some mods to your plane? thanks

@boywaimea Hi Mike,
I had bought the non powered version and stuck a power pod on the top.
I've since retired the plane chasis but the wing is still in service.
It's pretty well made for a $60 Balsa plane.
