The wing camera was a great success, capturing nice footage on its first two outings onboard the Phoenix before its catastrophic crash.
The flying was not spectacular, however it's the wonderful change of perspective it provides that is appealing, totally different from one's experience when flying it.
The apparent ease of taking flight as viewed from on-board shows none of the anxiety ] experienced during the first moments, making sure the aircraft makes the transition to stable flight. And the view, from what was a rather modest height, is really lovely. It was unfortunate that the flying was not more successful, as watching the video is quite captivating, well for me anyway.
The thing to do now is configure it to fit on the Walrus. I could just stick it on the wing again, however I can hear the empty cockpit calling as a perfect spot. It will mean having to make a hole in the canopy, however I could always tape this over when not using it.
But first, getting the Walrus powered up and ready...
