After finally receiving my magnetic fisheye lens from Hong Kong I immediately put it on my zx1 camera which I put on my SuperCub. After I flew up to a significant altitude the sun went down low enough that I couldn't see the plane when it was either going towards or away from me (not good). Eventually I lost sight of it completely and after about five minutes of searching the sky later I thought I caught the slightest glimpse of it about 100ft or so off the ground a long way off over one of our neighbors house. I went searching until dark all around in the fields in the direction I saw it but I found nothing and I was sure I would never see it again. The next day on the way to work my mom spotted something (the airplane) over a fence about a mile away from where I took off from. It turned out that the people that owned the land it landed on were drinking some wine the night before and all of a sudden something flew over and they were like "What was that!" The plane took a bit of minor damage and the prop was bent but it was still in one piece along with the camera (it could fly again once I get a new prop). Unfortunately I never saw my fisheye lens again. It must have went flying off when the plane impacted the ground. The hobby shop I got parts from went out of business and I have been too lazy to order a new prop but I wan't to take some winter videos when the air is more clear.
