1606.0. "Television camera inside an RC plane" by SMURF::LINDNER (Dave Lindner) Mon Jun 20 1994 12:05

I have a friend who is interested in putting a TV camera inside an
rc plane. Being a glider-only type of RC'r, I was hoping to find someone
here who might be interested, who has a plane with the cargo capacity.

He has a fair amount of $$ invested in his gear, so he's pretty serious
about it.

He's got a camera thats about 1" x 1" (amazing) a UHF transmitter
thats about 2" x 2" and a UHF downlink for the ground station. He also
needs room/weight allowance for a 12V 600maH battery to run the on board
gear.

He should contact [email protected] (Richard J. Bono) who flies with the NH
Flying Tigers. Rich flies with a ham video camera and is in the process of
putting it in a Gremlin... He also has a set of VR glasses that he has flown
with from the "cockpit"

He's been flying his camera at the last couple of annual airshows. I got his
email address from this years announcement:

  THE NH FLYING TIGERS R/C CLUB SIXTH ANNUAL RADIO CONTROLLED MODEL AIRSHOW

                 Located in Derry/Londonderry New Hampshire

      Featuring flying and static displays of radio controlled models.

    Rich showed me his Ham video equipped Gremlin at the Flying Tigers
    meeting last wednesday night (I gave a foam cutting demo). Once the
    weather warms up a little bit, I'm going to fly designated target for
    him and we'll shoot some combat "gun camera" video. Should be a blast
    to watch.
