Ok, that was awesome! Ryan let us know how it goes.

We had family in town this weekend and went to the airport for a quick airplane demo.

I used a new camera and made a new video.

Excellent Ryan! It's crazy how much capability these 360 cameras have, and honestly not for a lot of money.

What kind of mount are you using for your wing and how is it attached? I know some people just use the adhesive mounts on the bare surface, but I'm a bit apprehensive of doing so.

I just used the standard flat gopro adhesive mounting block. I cleaned the aluminum with acetone, warmed it a bit with a heat gun and stuck it on. I was flying less than an hour later, no issues with adhesion. The Gopro Max 360 I'm using is sort of a flat square, so I mounted it sideways (thinner edge into the wind).
