Video- RCDon - Don Giandomenico - N6YIY
I love Piper Cubs.
Well I was cruising around the net the other day and found RCDon's site (N6YIY). (See my previous post on his Hints and Tips page.) He has some awesome videos on his Hanger 9 100” Super Cub ARF, I believe this model is discontinued.... Anyway

Here is Don's page to his video Cub
Don also has a page that details how he did it. The equipment involved and the process of deciding on what equipment would work best for his application.
Here is a small snippet of the information on how Don made it all come together.
I started researching what systems were available and the range they offered. There were some projects that utilize a consumer grade security camera made by X-10 (X10.com ) that transmits on 2.4 gigahertz. This system did not appeal to me because the range was limited to 100 yards or so and the frequency used does not work well around obstructions....
Finally After looking around some more I found a Transmitter on the web that was reasonable in price, lightweight, and powerful enough for range. The AVX-900 T4 was my final choice for this project. This unit transmits on the efficient 900 MHz band and did not interfere with the 72 MHz remote control receiver. Unlike the popular 2.4 GHz Band, which has a lot of traffic and needs line of sight to work efficiently, the 900 MHz band is better suited for long range applications being a lower frequency.

A group of here in our local club is very interested in getting digital pix as well as video from our planes in flight as well as ground objects. Don's site is going to be a big help
