I've now fitted the camera and video transmitter for the first video-enabled test flights. Apart from the supplied rubber bands perishing then breaking in less than a day's exposure to the harsh southern hemisphere summer sun, everything is working just fine. However, I did move the ESC to the outside of the fuselage after the original unit failed because it got too hot when stuck inside the very insulating EPP foam fuselage. Check out the aerial footage of the mini dust-tornado I captured from the onbaord camera while test-flying. Next video will detail how the FY21AP stability system, onscreen display and return-to-launch facility works.
