RC Aerial Photography

OK, I've made use of the micro cam and I've gotten good results mounting it on the wing of the EZ Hawk from Nitroplanes. I upgraded the plane by pulling out the 72 mhz receiver and putting in a Spektrum receiver so I can use a new dx5e dsmx transmitter. I ordered a Hawk Sky from Grayson hobbies in a PNP version so I can do a lot of upgrades. These Dynam powered gliders are really great! I've got an FMS 1280 assembled  but have not flown it yet.
I've also working on a Goldberg Sophisticated Lady sailplane. I will equip it with a pusher prop/motor pod and since it is quite large I will use it for higher altitude filming. I would also like to try the little cam on an FMS 800, though the extra weight makes performance iffy. If it works I could take the plane to several locations around town for more aerial photography and not have to worry too much about room for landing.
