Mark,

nice wing camera mount. Did you have any trouble with the weight of it? (did you need a counter balance on the other side of the wing?)

Also, did it make any significan effects when flying? Was any drag/turn noticable.

Excellent Stuff!

Mark, one more thing, did you drill holes in the tip of your wing to mount it, or did you use pre existing holes.

I would guess that if you did drill a hole, right near the tip it shouldn't comromise any strength?

the weight made no difference, I did make another on the otherside with a counterweight wich I stopped using after a while. I drilled holes in a extention that I added onto the wings leading edge...
