"Colby,
You can download the FMA CoPilot II manual for free from the FMA website. I believe that the CoPilot II can control a v-tail configuration, but read the manual to be sure. I am presently using a CoPilot II on a Twinstar II and it works very…"

My friend and I just set up our Easy Star following Chris's recommendations (brushless, ESC, and lipo). We wanted a cheap way to grab some FPV footage to show to our friends and family. We decided to cut a hole in our Easy Star fuselage cover to mount my Blackberry Curve so we could use it as a video camera. I bought a 2 Gigabyte SD card from Rite Aid for $19.99 and we we're set to go. Although the video quality is rather poor we think the smartphone serves as a cool platform to broadcast FPV… Continue

I think that image was taken about 200 AGL. I do most of my r/c aerial photography below 300 AGL; currently my favorite camera is a Canon G9 even though it weighs over 13 oz. I have tried many other digital cameras but I have not been satisfied with the resolution; also many small lenses are too "slow" and have barrel distortion.
