BTW it says your video is private :(

vids private Ange... what a great bit of damage, looks like someones given the nose a good wack with a lump hammer, the rest of the plane is untouched!

Going to do a bit more reseach later on the rocket motors and order some, once I've got them I've got no excuse not to do it :D

I think I've found a home for my cheapo 380tvl cmos cam :D

Hi Steve,
video fixed. iMovie uploads them to YouTube as Private by default.

I was thinking to maybe make a new fibreglass nose which will allow me to get the camera inside right at the nose.

Or... put a piece of ply at the front and mount the motor there, then add rocket motors at the back for the extra boost ;)

Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

Wow - you didn't get much warning when the video went off? Did a cable come detached or something, as it seemed pretty rock solid until it went - although it came back, hmm...

Bad XT60 connector. One of the pins is smaller diameter either somehow crashed or badly manufactured. Either way the bad contact melted the connector and lost power to motor and all avionics.
