    I might add that the foam for the camera is from one of my mili-spec Pelican Cases. lol

    I have a servo USB interface. The intitial camera is one that has been wrecked before and is non functional. That will be used for the first couple of test flights for dummy weight. The camera's are actually fairly inexpensive but have some really great features for this kind of work. I have a few years experience at this with both rotor and fixed wing air craft.
