"Anyone using CHDK with a camera yet? I am thinking of picking up a Cannon S160IS when black Friday comes up for $79! This plane is going to be so heavy. Haven't been able to do as much as I wanted with it yet due to life. I need to repair my crappy…"

"New tray and other goodies installed. This is just a foam try with black tape. Final versions will be carbon or balsa. Something light weight. I want to make it so I can also snap 2 5000mah hour batteries in a final tray as well."
