I flew my RC plane over the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. I flew around the Saturn V, Saturn I, and the Space Shot ride. On the east side is the OV-098 Space Shuttle Orbiter Pathfinder. At the front door of the museum is a Lockheed A-12 Oxcart.

You can see the new facility nearing completion which will be the new home to the Saturn V that is laying on it's side. Older aerial shots will show where the Saturn V was on the back side of the lot.

I launched from across the road and flew through the video display on my end. Landing, I acquired visual of the plane and guided it into my hand.

The aircraft is a Multiplex EasyStar from hobby-lobby.com
The camera in a KX131 camera (uncased) from rangevideo.com
The video link is 2.4GHz from rangevideo.com
My video display and recorder is a Sony MiniDV watchman.
The radio link needs a better receive antenna.

    Exceptional. They should hire you to do this at all of the major out side museums. Very nice keepsake for me as I've visited this place. No vid's like this in thier gift shop. Shame on them, I would have paid.

    Nice vid, but I wouldnt suggest doing that again... people dont like it when payload capable aircraft fly over ICBM's, priceless artifacts, and military hardware like the Blackbird.

    Double that since you were less then a mile from the Redstone Arsenal.

  • That is all true. ...

    That is all true. It was also used for airborne aerodynamics testing, and is 10 feet shorter then the flight-worthy shuttles.

    (I am fortunate enough to work at Space Camp)

    Your radio control seems to have an amazing endurance! How did you see the plane from that big distance? Did you control it over a video screen? What plane was it?
