Can any body tell or show me the best way to mount a "disposable" camera on a plane? I have 2 extra channels to work with, I was hoping to use one for winding the film and the other for pressing the button. Is there a way to do this?

thanks

Jon.

I'd suggest buying a cheap digital from radioshack etc. They go for about $40 now. Disposable and developing is about $20. You don't have to worry about rewinding

I saw Ron Harway's (Ronnio on RCCanada) setup on his spacewalker, looked simple and effective. You may want to PM him....

Have a look at how I set up a cheap camera on my LT-40:

http://reunion.dhs.org/rc Just click on the "Aerial Photography" button on the left of the page. You won't get a much cheaper setup.

Also, I posted picture in a short thread here https://www.rccanada.ca/bb/viewtopic.php?t=10969
