Some of the pilots at WOD this past weekend wanted me to fly with them with the GoPro Hero Camera. So since I was flying a big slow Stearman biplane I had to come up with something better to keep up with the Mustangs! My answer was this hybred Stryker F-27 Q from ParkZone. I removed the nose cone and stuck the camera case to the front of the fuselage. But to balance it, I needed to add almost 7 ounces of lead to the “TAIL”. talk about a weird feeling!
Anyway, the experiment was a success even though the Mustangs and P-40s were not able to fly a good smooth formation! Some of these guys just like to go fast and low! Oh well, enjoy the show!
Smile, you’re on StrykerCAM!
I love my GoPro Hero Video Camera! We also use a HD version in the shooting of our MAN Aerobatic DVDs sold at the AirAgeStore.com website!
How did you mount the camera to the nose? Velcro?
Simply removed the foam nosecone and stuck the camera protective case in place with double sided foam carpet tape
