    B-17 Ball Turret FPV for bystanders

    I love to do stuff that interests the kids that come to watch us fly so I modded one of my B-17 ball turrets to house a camera so they can watch it through my goggles.

    Here's the camera. Below are some pics of how I do the servo, I cut the tab off the servo so the camera would fit. The camera is tiny and has the transmitter (25mw) built it, I run a "Y" on the turret servo to power it.

    Now that is a cool idea. Always love new ways to help encourage a fascination with the hobby.

        Very innovative! I think that it is awesome that you do that for the kids. They are the future of the hobby, and the more we can get them interested, the better things will become. Kudos TiredIronGRB!!
