Nice float pic

Most people would never point a camera straight into the sun. I guess nobody told the kid that took this picture yesterday evening.

It would look a lot nicer if that Cub had wing struts.

Have not yet seen full size Cub flying without them.

Good eye DO335...it does look goofy without struts but there's a reason I left them off. I want to try some airborne video from a moving boat. The Cub cabin has room for a 5 3/4" turntable and my Canon camcorder. Power will be from a Futaba servo modified for proportional 180 degree travel. If the camera movement is too jerky plan B is to mount a winch servo and geared belt drive.

Yeah...I wonder if "you know who" will read this....


I didn't notice the missing wing struts, but was thinking"....too bad there is no pilot". Aren't we a picky bunch??? Still, it is a very nice pic !!

"you know who" cringes when he sees me coming, as I ALWAYS remind him of that fatefull day!

The picture is really nice, thanks for showing us.
Cheers, Dave.

sweet
Hey Ive got nothing bad to say its good in my books

That camera mount got me thinking though

It looks like it could use alittle more suport where the foam mounts to the servo head.

I can see the camera flying off the servo with a bumpy landing.

looks better than my tiger trainer 40 with home made things i almost want to call floats.
