Reichard Maxx F5J electric glider
I've recently finished building this model. I'm still in the process of test flying it and making small adjustments. More info and photos will come later.
I made this video during one of the test flights using a #11 808 keychain camera attached to a balsa stick that in turn was taped using electric tape to the underside of the left wing. I counter balanced the opposite wing by taping coins to the bottom of it's tip (out of view) using electric tape.
