More Q-Tee Flying

Kim your video went with a clear lens all the way to the session end.. how far was the camera placed from the plane's centerline on the Space Bug flight...with a rear mounted camera i.e. placed anywhere behind the engine I end up with castor smeared on the lens unless I place the cam mid wing or near the tip. But the further from the centerline I place it the more balancing weight is needed on the other wing of course.

Good weather on the corner here I will go and shoot some vids with the Toucan soon..

after engine off the vibration gone the video to landing looks almost green screen digital composite film...very clear and HD--ish

Well, I was concerned a bit about that...I ruined a camera several years ago because I just HAD to have a tail-forward view.  On this fight, the Q-Tee was packing two cameras.  I decided how close a side-view I wanted of the engine, then just moved the other camera on it's wing like a postal scale 'till the plane balanced.

Somehow, it made it through with only a few drops of castor hitting the camera.

This video should be called:  "Filling Up a Key Fob Camera with Castor"!

Good luck with the Toucan...looking forward to videos!

EGAD! I really like the inverted flight video. That’s just too cool!
