After losing my previous minimag and its GoPro camera, I builts a new minimag entirely from spare parts from my 3 previous kits for the plane, and new electronics (which was the expensive part unfortunately).
I did a test run of the new camera pointing forward, forward+down, and backward
a forward facing 180 degree view without seeing the prop or the wheels is hard
obviously the prop doesn't look good when spinning
I pointed the camera down some more, it helped a bit
you definitely get a bigger field of view, but it's distorded
but the big field of view is nice
and the curvature on the horizon simulates being at 100,000ft like a U2 :)
pointing back looks nice but it's near impossible not to get the tail in the shot
