@saurabh - the photo's have come really nice   also any luck on the photo flying above BMW A6 which ashley has taken i guess?

seems like i miss this one!!!!

@ Ashish,

Yes, you did miss a lot

Thanks for the compliments Anand. Those shots are in the other video that I did not upload as all look the same and it gets boring to watch similar videos all over again.

Thanks

super duper @saurabh... excellent work gr8 job ....

Thanks Divay 

Just reached Kottayam yesterday safely with my spare readio and stuffs.... Tonight started building a 48" SPAD so far completed the wing, 80% of fuse etc. Racing against time to finish it by tomorrow so that I could fly it with Santhosh (whom am hoping to visit day after tomorrow at his place). Couldn't find 4mm coro..so forced to use all 3mm (let us see how it turns out). thought I should update here

As Santhosh bhai has not much spare time this weekend we are planning a broader Kerala RC meet soon. Hope everyone can participate.

Finished The SPAD. Fingers crossed will maiden her tomorrow with Santhosh Bhai. Am not that much impressed with my work this time

Had a blast at Santhosh bhai's territory   Thanks to him for the wonderful hospitality. Nice place, nice people Maiden-ed the SPAD at his flying spot. Couldn;t trim her up as it was quite windy. Survived couple of hard landings but the last one killed her. Being a SPAD, living up to its name, I think its repairable and she will be flying again once I find an hour.

Anwar Bhai, please do let us know about the Meet so that people like me (on parole) can plan accordingly

Please do post pictures / videos !

Some  sellers on RCU ship international too !

Yes, they do.
One of whom I have had experience with is Edward Watson aka "Darthdrk"
Someone into scale building, darthdrk ships fuselages world wide.
I've noticed his collection beats any other hobby shop I have come across + some of them copy his hard work too.

My First Fly-Easystar  :)not bad

Where is the most interesting part... landing ?

Mounted HD wing cam on my HK 450 V2. Couldn't find a suitable place, so put it on the battery.
The video came out all 'wavy' especially when hovering - may be since it was right below the main blades.

Nways njoy

Thats a nice flying Raja...  but i wonder why the movie is soo wavy... 

it looks like you were flying under water... LOL 

I have the HD wing camera as well. Its not that great. The focus is a big problem.   I am using a class 10 card 8GB. Still the video is not as good as I had thought it to be. 

@raja_mastana: Good work! I like it!

@saurabhhsrivastavaa: Hey I have the same issue with HD Wing Cam, the videos are very jerky even with Class 10 Card. Any solution?

the solution is buy a gopro or a contour

Never tried Contour, but GoPro is familiar to me! Its pretty good.. But then a little heavy than HD Wing.

Saurabh, me too using a class 10 card, still has frame drop issues. colors are also not accurate. but still nice to play around
Milind, someone on HK suggested to start recording a dummy video for few secs, before the actual video .... no harm in trying it out though, if you have serious frame drop issues

Hey guys..

Well... to be honest, the HK HD wing camera is not a quality camera. It may be ok for beginners but you cannot even think of comparing it with GoPro or Contour. Gopro is a different league all together.  

The frame rates are not stable and the drops are frequent. I have problems setting focus on mine. You can either set the focus on center or the edges. If you set the focus on the centre, the edges tend to blur and vice versa. I believe this is a problem with wideangle lenses.

Sadly, there is not much you can do about the camera. The reviews have been throwing the pros and cons.

However, I have just received my new SONY 600TVL Super HAD II camera with 3.6mm lens.. I will be putting it up for sale as I got one spare... (I am in a habbit of getting 2, just in case  ). People who are interested, may want to have a look.  

hi mate.
any 'wavey' effect is due to vibration.........looks like 'just a little ' more pad under the camera.....a lot over here [UK] use gyro pads for the camera.
one that is used a lot as a cheapy is the 'key ring' cam very small and light and quite good color .
