Bought small digital camera and attached it to my r/c plane. Tried triggering the camera from transmitter and got some nice results. Thought I could share results with all of you.

Pictures are from my neighborhood and its surroundings.

I am sure you could.Are all Pictures from his or her neighborhood and its surroundings?

Do you mind if I tell other people:

Interesting gossip:
said I wait until you find me.

I've always wanted to try this, but I don't have a suitable camera. ( or a r/c plane ).
The pictures look amazing, I think it is really cool to be able to get an aerial view of your location like this.
Nice work. :ok: :)

Wow nice surroundings.
Your plane goes up quite high. I didn't expect it would be so high
mabe someday I will get a helicopter and attach a smal vidcam on it. Seen it on tellie a few years ago and always wanted one of my own.
The thing that set me back is that the helicopter controls are pretty hard and wind will be a big enemy. A plane will not work for me either :-( because the city i live in is pretty crowded and taking of and landing will be impossible. But im still hoping someday my wish will come true ;-)

Love your pics!!! GRATZ

This is more real:

video is missing landing-part because 1 gigabyte memorycard was filled up too quickly, would have taken only 1 minute more and plane would have landed. I have few other videos somewhere on my harddrive, I'll have to cut them a bit and upload to youtube afterwards.

Super cool!!!
Are you not scared that your plane crashes?

That was great, thanks for posting the video. :D
The audio makes the engine sound massive, like a really powerful jet engine.
Mora

Heheh, that's funny how the engine sounds bigger than it is. It is nothing but stock motor and sounds like a bee.

I'm always aware that it might crash, I've already taken one nose down-dive from 50m but luckily only motors down-gearing broke. Fixing took 20 seconds. Rough landings are common when running low on battery but if something breaks it's the propeller. I'm worried more about camera than my plane.

Glad you liked it.

Great flying Mora - very nice vid.
I kept expecting a home video clip show ending where you see the plane rushing toward something and then static! I obviously watch too much TV.

Ooops I sent you the wrong question. As Bertrand Russel said, it must have taken ages for people to realize that a brace of pheasants
and a couple of days are both instances of the number "two."Do not presume that you know what I want.I'm happy you're amused.

Heheh, actually I have one clip where the landing doesn't go as it is supposed to. Wind drags plane to nearby bush when wheels are supposed to touch ground.

Yes, I'm the one with black t-shirt standing there with controller. Last minute "almost crash" isn't anywhere near crash, you can see a guy with bicycle moving towards the plane at the end of the clip. He stopped by and asked if I could fly near him so he could see the plane. So I did and it looks like I'm going to land but someone with a bike is on my way and plane pulls up.
