Wing mounted Webbie

I thought a simple solution to not having the prop in the way would be to mount the camera on the wing of the Radian Glider. 2 loonies and 2 toonies on the opposite wing to counter balance and life was good. All things considered it's not too bad really. As Jerry has pointed out, the yaw from rudder only turns is annoying. Next time I will fly on a calm day and try to keep the turns much wider.

Re: Wing mounted Webbie

Hey Mark, I saw this idea on other planes, did you put it on top of the wing?
Below the wing would be good except the controls for the camera are on top.
Any issues flying ? This may be the easy way out.

Re: Wing mounted Webbie

Hey Dan, it was unplanned and very last minute but worked great. I just taped the camera to the top of the the plane, taped some counterweight on the far wing and flew. The camera and loonies are right at CG and there were no issues ion flight...easy way out indeed! KISS.
