No doubt that is a hard thing to accomplish, but I am not saying it's impossible. I would plan on trying it once or twice in the future.

I hooked up a small camera to one of my planes, and it was kind of neat to see the in-flight video later.  It wasn't the greatest quality though, and the engine vibration didn't help either...

It would be awesome to be able to see it FP though...  I wonder how much the airborne end weighs?
