RC Vista Glider High Alt HD Pahrump Bad landing

More of the same only higher...
I sort of cracked up at the end but the plane survives.

I wonder if a flight over Death Valley would be interesting?
Then again, it would look a lot like Pahrump, only with no houses and roads. :)

@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.

Hi Paul, (good name)

Currently I'm using a DXG-595V

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.
