Two planes and a mini quad later, I'm hooked. Third plane in on the bench in place of the Philco 40-185 I want to restore. <br /><br />So many hobbies, so little time. :-)<br /><br />Ray<br />KO4RB<br />KO4RBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-85506876601363144532012-09-30T12:47:24.309-04:002012-09-30T12:47:24.309-04:00I have been sucked into the vortex of a new hobby:...I have been sucked into the vortex of a new hobby: RC airplanes, which are at least scratch built and will include radio for control and eventually for a live video and telemetry link. But until I gain sufficient expertise, I have been using a little $8 keychain camera I ordered from Hobby King, along with an Amazon branded 8gb MicroSD card (I am told to use class 6 or class 10 cards: class 4 are too slow and will give dropped frames). You can check out some of the vids <a href="http://m.youtube.com/?reason=8&rdm=2817#/user/brainwagon?&desktop_uri=%2Fuser%2Fbrainwagon" rel="nofollow">on my channel.</a>. All the in flight video was recorded using one of these cameras.<br /><br />There are different, more high resolution cameras of this type, with wider fields of view but more expensive. Chuck Lohr's site offers lots of good info. <br /><br />Good luck!

This site may look a little hokie, but it really has a wealth of info on these. You can buy them on Amazon (I did and got #14, not the best). The nest ones are about $30 but are probably worth it.<br /><br />http://chucklohr.com/808/<br /><br />Ray<br />KO4RBKO4RBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-7809260140203897462012-09-29T08:10:16.028-04:002012-09-29T08:10:16.028-04:00Looks like fun for kids & adults alike, maybe ...Looks like fun for kids & adults alike, maybe more for the dads :)<br /><br />Regards,<br />Jim (the J-Tron guy)<br />W2KLMJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331037171781030733noreply@blogger.com
