FPV video camera to use

Aerosonde
25hour flight across Atlantic on 1litre of petrol. Large inverted V-tail design which gives it stability in high cross winds, where other planes won't work. InfraRedLeds or ThermalImagingCameras are built into the air frame for long range night vision. One of the big advantages in favor of inverted V tail designs is its stability in cross wind situations. For an example when hit by a cross wind gust on landing, the inverted V will cause the airplane to pitch up as opposed to diving into the ground. Mounting of the engine at the back of the plane allows for reduced vibration possibilities. Place a vibration absorbing material between the frame and the engine. Vibration tends to saturate the IMU RateGyro2's. http://www.mini-imp.com/tail.htm

Baiojet
Uses ramp to launch with pully system, lands on the grass. Can be jet-engine or ducted electric fan powered. Or hoist into the air at 1km using an weather balloon. This video http://bit.ly/bCODbC shows a jet-engine fitted to the carbon body, originally designed for ducted fan only.

Swarming UAV attack
Attach 100 UAV's, each  with a stick of dynamite to weather balloons. They are released at 20km gliding to the US ground base for an attack in Afghanistan. It is just a matter of time before this happens. The USAF are complicit in the killing of their own people, trying to protect their own turf, from being relegated to irrelevance, they are trying to prevent mass adoption of robots and UAVs. Afghanistan can easily be secured with thousands of swarming UAVs using cheap open source code from ground based control stations. Instead the Airforce controls a few drones over bandwidth starved satellite links. Satellite won't allow thousands of realtime Mpeg4Compression streams. Install thousands of WiMax towers, providing the entire country with 4G bandwidth over which the same ground troops will pilot drones in a preventative manner, sipping tea in air-conditioned trailers, instead of running around like off-head chickens and gun toting ninjas.

Uavs represents a paradigm shift in how common forms of residential crime, terrorism and warfare will be prevented. Gunpowder put all the swordsmiths out of a job, likewise the USAF have been made redundant: Anybody can pilot a drone with a touch screen EmbeddedPc. MannedSystems can easily be implemented by X-box video gamers. RC Radio control simulators will turn any pc literate gamer into a MannedSystemspilot. UAVs would even eventually make marine ground forces redundant.

What is known as the [], 'industrial-military' complex is preventing this, via fraud, corruption and kickbacks. Raven drones are sold at $40000, the same thing can be built for $1000 using the open source method. Fraud, theft and corruption must not be confused with capitalism. Imagine if you go and buy a car and instead of the dealer quoting you a price he logs into your bank account to see how much money you have to spend. The pentagon has a $1trillion budget. Between all the arms manufacturers they now in advance how much to charge for the same FFT algorithm every year. Another problem inflating the price of a 4kg balsa and glue contraption from $1000 to $40000 are HackPatents. Development costs isn't the primary problem but the 8000 Reed-Solomon error correction software algorithm patent holders who all want to license their tweeks for a $1mil. CNN and the mass media mind control mechanisms don't want the tax paying public to understand this because they will also deduce that copyright by logic must be disbanded.

A few hundred UavAirframes fitted with cheap $350 IMU from RateGyro and uncooled ThermalImagingCameras streaming images over a 400Mhz WiMax link, patrolling the major Afghanistan routes will prevent IED attacks. It is outrageous that the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usaf is preventing this.

http://irobot.com/gi/ground/ have patented a type of ground based robot traction system, allowing them to charge whatever they want for something that can be built for a few hundred dollars. It is the copyright, patent regime that is distorting the free market.

Czeck drone frame with GIMBALL
http://www.leteckafotografie.com/aerialvideo/index.htm

http://www.leteckafotografie.com/aerialvideo/plane_eye.htm This little plane is very powerful. Adding a light cradle camera to it with a little video transmitter makes it ideal for monitoring what is happening on the ground. Have you ever get yourself in a traffic jam? I guess a lot of us always wonder where the line of cars ends. I would take this video plane from my trunk and within 5 minutes see. I can imagine hundreds of applications where this handy model plane would find itself useful. It is small, light, wind proved and soft (if it is accidentally going to hit a person). I mean I would not like this to happen - this plane could be pretty fast. Speed of 160 km per hour is not a problem for our set- up. There are tuned set-ups on the web where this plane can reach speed of 240kph.

http://www.leteckafotografie.com/aerialvideo/gimbal.htm When using KX191 colour and night mode CCD camera on little planes, I noticed that each time the camera is pointed sideways, the large camera body works like a rudder and the plane begins to steer. I made this carbon fiber case to house the camera in it. The unwanted steering stopped. Also the aerodynamics is better. There is also video to see how it works on FunJet in flight. The gimbal with servos and KX 191 camera, weights 100 grams.
