Ok, I had seen it done before, so i figured i'd try it, yesterday evening the winds were CALM, so I Decided to try to fly my R/C Plane with a camcorder strapped to it to see what kinda view i could get  BTW, Sorry about the sideways view, its just the way i had to mount the camera on the plane. I found out how to rotate and re-encode the video, but i didnt feel like uploading another one.. lol youtube.com/watch?v=SSZwb-nYuGg |

dunno how high that is, i would guess maybe 900 feet or so? dunno, but yeah, it'll go as high as you wanna take it, has a 2500 feet range, but you cant see it past maybe 1000 feet.

That's awesome! Isn't 1000 feet about 10 stories or something like that?

1000 feet is about 100 stories..  900 Feet is about 274 meters like Madhatter said, The plane will go ALOT HIGHER, I was kinda getting nervous with my camera up there.. Being held to the plane with 3 rubber bands.. lmao |

already rotated and re-encoded the video, just dont feel like uploading it again.. lol
It's not easy flying with extra weight, and a messed up center of gravity, you're constantly having to make adjustments.
