	Ruslana  #555805  Sun, 17 Aug 08 11:53 AM Hey guys, A few days ago my dad made an experiment: he installed a photo-camera on remote-controlled airplane and took some pictures from the air. This is what it looked like!

	Ant_222  #555817  Sun, 17 Aug 08 12:40 PM What about the airplane itself? Could you post a photo of it? How did he control it, the altitude looks so high, was the plane even visible?    Ant_222 Joined on Sun, May 21 2006 Podolsk, Russia Contributing Member (1,569)

	Ruslana  #555826  Sun, 17 Aug 08 01:20 PM Here we go. The wing-span is about 2 metres, so yes, it was visible from the ground. The altitude it climbed was about 300m.    Ruslana

	Ant_222  #555835  Sun, 17 Aug 08 01:32 PM Wow, it's big! Your dad bought it or assembled by himself? BTW, it should be very-very exciting to install on it a small video-camera that would transmit its signal through ether, so that you could control it in first-person mode!    Ant_222

	Cool Breeze  #555840  Sun, 17 Aug 08 01:45 PM  A very interesting experiment indeed! I just wonder how close to the airport your small plane actually flew. Your experiment wouldn't be allowed very close to Helsinki Airport because of the risk that it might collide with a passenger jet. In the countryside it would probably be all right.
