www.ianjefferys.com This is the first time I've successfully flown a model plane using a video broadcast. The plane is my Multiplex Twin Star II and the camera is a Canon SD980 IS point-and-shoot. I'm using a 900 mhz 500 mw transmitter and small whip antennas on both the video transmitter and receiver. Control-video interference had kept me from doing this before with my 72 mhz Futaba radio, but my new Hitec Aurora 9 2.4 ghz radio exhibits none of that issue. The plane has some stability issues with the camera attached, particularly on the yaw axis. I've applied Deshaker to the video, mostly at very high smoothness values like 6400.
