I promised to mount the camera on the fin. I did. Here's the video:

It's a start. Now, move it back about 22 feet and that should do it.

22 feet--okay, Dennis. Maybe I'll get Deleted Member to build a model glider for it and then tow it behind the SeaRey. Otherwise I don't think the camera is going to work in that location. <br /><br />Evidently its scan rate, even at 30 fps, is too slow for the prop rpm. That's what makes the prop seem to have that goofy Y shape. I ran the engine up at 4,000 rpm near the end of the video without changing the 'Y' appreciably, so I don't think it's going to get much better at 5,000 or so. <br /><br />And there's the narrow viewing angle, with no hope of attaching a wide-angle lens. This one brief video gives me about all I need to be sure that the engine fairing isn't wiggling around--and that's boring enough.<br /><br />Also, the camera shuts itself down when cold and vibrating (I haven't figured out why yet), so I was unable to get any video in flight. All it did was scramble the SD card's directory. Fortunately, instead of taking off I decided to do a 360 on the runup pad and check the camera. I got out and stopped the video and started another, then took off. The second is the one that got scrambled. Maybe I'll try it again on warmer day.
