Hi,

A few weeks ago I asked for suggestions for a tiny Video camera to
attach to a helicopter. I got a few suggestions (thanks) but the
real SPIRIT of UKHA (tm) solution didn't come to me for a week - Buy a
bigger helicopter and fix a camera you already have to it. Anyway
here are the results from the maiden flight

The shake is from some tail wag that I can hopefully solve by
adjusting the Gyro gain - and it was pretty windy. Now I'm off to
ebay to find an Ixus or similar with a cracked screen, so I don't
have to risk my camera again. I might be looking for help with a
circuit at some point to try and trigger the camera from a PWM signal
from a spare Tx/Rx channel.

Chocks away,

Tim.
