Blue Wing glider by R2 hobbies

[rob.thomson]

Anyone see where I am going with this?



The blue wing is a 1.2m glider.   All up with battery it weighs around 300g!

So I think it will take a small camera and Vtx on a pod?

Done...



Couldn't be simpler.

A pod,  with an LC filter,  Vtx and camera.  :-)

I like it mate, very nice!

Have you flown her yet?

Monday :-)

I have had the glider for ages.   Flies very well.

Just have always thought of this mod,  and finally did it!

Great thing is it is just a pod.   Nothing glued to the plane or changed,  so if I don't like it - no problem.

That's the best way! I think it should fly fine, i would try and make it more streamline thought as in my experience these little hot rods down like too much drag! Yours looks ok though!

Its a 20x20 camera,  so about as low a frontage as possible.

The vertical post is a symmetrical airfoil.

Just a cheap 450 line one I had lying around.

I have some superhad ccd on route,  so will swap it out once they arrive.

I will have it with me on Monday :-)

I am thinking I may need to put a wide angle lens on.
