...some consolation
I've just checked the parcel tracking and my package with Walrus and RD32 wing camera are on board for delivery! Definitely leaving the place of employment early today to get to the post office in time.
I am actually most interested in trying out the camera, which I'd like mounted to the Phoenix for a start, as I think its bigger wings will be less affected by the addition of the camera. Having said that, the camera is very compact, and compared to some FPV installations I've seen will have a virtually negligible impact. I am really keen to see the quality of the video - it is supposedly HD, which is a little excessive for my requirements.
So hopefully I can replace the Phoenix's aileron servos tonight without incident (just not sure how difficult this will be as they're glued in place) and get the camera up and running. Very exciting. By the way, if you have one of these cameras and don't know how to set up the options (date, time, resolution etc), then take a look at this video.
Of course, there will also be construction of the Walrus - it's not it kit form but still requires a while to put it together - and of course I'd rather take a bit of time to get it right. That is unless I can't get the Phoenix going, in which case construction will suddenly become a priority...
