Hi Paul,

Nice movie. I was wondering: did you experience any drag of the camera on the tip of your wing?

Paul - good video. Thanks for posting it. Did you use a 'helmut cam'? Can you tell me how you mounted the camera to the wingtip? And if you ran cables back to the cockpit how did you do that?

Thanks
Eric

Hi Johan
I fly out of the nene valley GC Upwood Cambridgeshire UK
www.nvgc.org.uk
I did not notice any drag the camera is small and tape I used will have streamlined it a bit. I did not think of taking a pic of it may be next time ;)
 
Hi Eric
Yes it is a helmet cam use this link http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/home/homepage.jsp and put in the search cs1501605, I just used duct tape to fix it to the wind tip :whistle: it has a sd card so no cables

Best regards to all and happy new year Paul
may all your landings be smooth
