This time I mounted the camera looking forward and slightly down from on top of the wing. The drag from the camera was pretty significant in making the plane want to turn and with no proportional control I could not trim it out so you will see the video "wiggle" left/right a lot as I tap in rudder to compensate. This was a trim flight working in the new configuration of the cameras. Not bad. Flight #3 (2 for today) is much nicer. At the end here I lose it a bit as the rudder "locks" for a second. I found the problem though. The control rod was slightly "under" the Stab Tab plastic so it "jammed" unto place. I put a Piece of tape on this so the rod can not go in there in the future. No damage. Flew again moments later See Flight #3
