Default Toying with a new camera I got..

I won a lil' video camera at a recent RC airplane flyin.. I've been using it on some of my RC aircraft and thought - why not try it on the RV..

Here's my first shot..

Part Deux..

I have adjusted the mount a little bit and the "view" is better, now just need to get it centered.. I am thinking about just installing a camera onto the plane, however, these videos are taken from a $100 dollar camera, not too shabby..

Default Looks good

For $100 you get a lot of bang for the buck..

I don't have Gumption to get THAT close to the water though..

I'm amazed that pilots post videos of this stuff.
If you really want to show off your superb flying skills post a video of a strong cross wind landing.
