Wow! That's impressive. At 15 grams the 808 video camera weighs half as much as the plane. Flying with it has to severely alter the flight characteristics, even if you were flying in my soup here at sea level! Good show!
Now fess up. We want to see the video.

Well done!
The plane didn't seem terribly happy with the extra weight though.

You, sir, are ready for that biplane! That Champ was NOT HAPPY carrying 50% of its weight in payload and you did an excellent job of keeping her under control. I noticed that you don't have the vibration problem that I've had with my Slow Stick motion blurring the video. Very good video there.
