I'm into RC planes but have not flown in quite a while. I kinda got bored with airplane flight. Now drones are incredibly appealing.

I have it disassembled at the moment to make a new power distribution harness. My soldering skills are not as good as they used to be and a cold solder joint will cause a real bad day... and I am "soft mounting" everything with neoprene to kill some annoying vibrations that are causing a 'jello' effect in video shot at 1080p. But I will assemble pics of everything I have on my work table this evening and post it and a parts list for you guys. I've been meaning to do that anyway to make a blog post about it, so this is a good opportunity to get it done.

In the meantime...

This is a photo of it when I first started building the chassis:



And this is the kind of video it can shoot. Not my video, but taken with the same aircraft using the same setup I have.
