Default Camera Gliders

Your mention of camera carrying BGs brings to mind the few I did back when that 'gum cam' craze started, on this very Forum, no less!

One model was a largish Readiboard based parasite glider, sort of like a Manta, mounted upon a finless carrier rocket tube. That shot OK video, especially for the time, but still had too much 'vomit vision' to it. Other versions were like BT-60 and 70ish Skydart types, but again, the low resolutions available in '08 were not conducive to good vids.

Considering 'getting back on the saddle', as it were, with something much more modern. Would have to be pretty cheap, though, as mid and HPR gliders, well, tend to not live long and prosper
