RC Plane flyover at the US Space Center/Space Camp
I flew my RC plane over the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. I flew around the Saturn V, Saturn I, and the Space Shot ride. On the east side is the OV-098 Space Shuttle Orbiter Pathfinder. At the front door of the museum is a Lockheed A-12 Oxcart.
You can see the new facility nearing completion which will be the new home to the Saturn V that is laying on it's side. Older aerial shots will show where the Saturn V was on the back side of the lot.
I launched from across the road and flew through the video display on my end. Landing, I acquired visual of the plane and guided it into my hand.
The aircraft is a Multiplex EasyStar from hobby-lobby.com
The camera in a KX131 camera (uncased) from rangevideo.com
The video link is 2.4GHz from rangevideo.com
My video display and recorder is a Sony MiniDV watchman.
The radio link needs a better receive antenna.
