    I had to find the right setting on the this camera.It had a setting for a close up view.
    My shaky hands do not help.I use a nebulizer 4x a day and that medacine makes me a little sick
    and all shaky.
    I use a Kodak C433 camera.

    I did put the magnets on it.
    I did not have a Red LED so I used an amber one.

    I am not sure about the landing gear just yet.That would be more weight on it.
    I think the one I posted was The Pimp My Ride version.He had 2 brushless motors on his.
    I only have one.He even fiberglassed his plane.I do not have the tools that he has.

    I looked at the video of his plane and he did not have the landing gears.

    Its the little details that really start to set of the builds. I really like to get to a point in a build where you start to see it pop.
    Really looks nice Gary keep up the good work! :good:
