This is a video shot from my little 'Terry'.  This is a great little plane which lifted my 200mw video system with no problem.  I preserved the original audio so you could hear the wind.

Fun-fly fly-over

This was shot from a GWS Slowstick. The camera is on a tilt servo so I could keep an eye on my wheels  ;-)  It was also a test of the Eyetop video glasses to see if they were a practical way to line up shots while the plane was in the air (they were)

Setup:
GWS Slowstick w/ PJS300 outrunner
200mw transmitter w/ stock whip
Standard receiver wi/ 8dbi patch
