A number of people online have asked me where exactly I have mounted the camera on my Super Cub.
I simply holed out the bottom Anti-Crash-Technology (ACT) system’s “eye”. This wasn’t a big deal to me because I’ve never turned the system on after hearing it can actually cause more crashes than it prevents.
I should also mention a little trick that minimizes the throws (good for training people) if you cover the bottom eye up. Because I was removing it to make room for the camera I just put it in the compartment where the other electronics sit and put a piece of dark tape over the eye.
Anyway, a picture or two would probably explain it better than I can. Check out the view from the camera here.

That thing looks life size. oooh… a remote control helicopter ad below ;.)
Yeah I love the scale models… Maybe I should have put a tiny trash can behind it to make it look more life size
