So, pinchflat calls me the morning and tells me he was building a camera mount and wanted to come out to try it. Here's the results.

These were taken with a mini Vivitar camera on his Decathlon.

Winds 10-15 mph
Overcast 800'-1000'

I bet they would have come out better if the two of you hadn’t broken the camera with those self-portraits first.

Thanks, Clssy has the rig at his house he can take a picture of it for you guys to see. Basicly it is a slab of 1/2 pink foam with a hs55 hot glued to it and a camer velcroed to it. As the servo arm moves it hits the shutter switch. Very crude set up, just a prototype. Now to get a nicer camera, that one is a 9.99 walgreens special.

Funny you mention that. This pic he was holding the plane and standing right next to me to get a pic of both of us (very few pics of both of us in the last 24 years). Well as you see, he didn't make it in the pic LOL.
