Kerbob's High Altitude Super Cub
« on: March 08, 2010, 03:05:45 AM »
Took a lot of video this weekend flying with James_Bond, EricJ320 and BZFlyGirl, but most of it I had to scrap due to I had the motor too close to the motor and it caused bad video waves whenever I gave the least bit of throttle.  I need to experiment with foil or something to block out the EMI.
 
Anyway, I moved the motor further back on my HobbyZone Super Cub and flew it off my back porch just before sunset (the only time I had free to fly this weekend).
 
So, here it is.. Enjoy yet ANOTHER aerial video.  This is the highest I've gotten with a camera I believe.

Cool Vid! The crotch shot at the end is priceless  ;)
What RX are you using on it, AR6100?
On the interference issue are you sure its electrical, my mini cam is really susceptible to vibration, I solved most of the distorted picture by making a padded mount for my camera.

I agree, I'd say it's high frequency vibration.  You can even see it in that 747 video I posted, which had some waviness from high speed buffeting in the air.  Try isolating it from vibration first, then explore the EMI if that doesn't help.

Yep, that was HIGH.  I could see my house, and i'm out of town this week...i'll have to ask my wife about the strange car in the driveway :o  And were there a couple of aborted landing attempts, or were those planned low passes?

The video has one aborted landing pass. :)  There were others, but they were clipped out. The others you saw in the video were just low flying passes.  The overall unedited video was 26min on a 2200mah battery.
 
Are you the guy that flies RC planes on the undeveloped street near me?  :-\
