Yellow Bird Test One

This is a continuation of Prof. Iadevaia's experiments in imaging from altitude. This is the first test of Yellow Bird and the video camera. The plane would not take off due to the inability to run straight during the take off roll. Pilot error, rough surface, small wheels or all of the above? I removed the camera and finally got the plane to take off. After minor repairs and alignment the second test was performed. Flying an RC plane is much different than the real thing...but now, for me, this is the real thing!
