Aaron,
Great Videos. Looks like you caught a couple of shots of my J3 Cub in flight in Video #2.
Question: How did you attach the Key Cam to your plane? Did you just use Velcro or what.
Thanks,
Doug

Doug, sorry for the delay in my response. I made a simple bracket from
two pieces of aluminum angle metal that lets me pivot and tilt the
camera to aim in different directions. The camera is held on with
rubber bands that are wrapped around the fuselage of the slow stick,
then loop under the camera, holding it upwards against the aluminum
bracket. It has worked pretty well so far. I also have an extra rubber
band loosely looped around the fuselage and through the keyring loop on
the camera as a backup failsafe tether. I'd like to eventually get a
couple micro servos and make a pan-tilt mount that I can control via the
radio.
