Your aircraft was intercepted on final to landing.  Shot down by a bird!

This thing is tiny in real life, I'm not surprised a swallow brought it down!

Hey all :) Sorry for the late reply's, busy easter break here...

Darren this is the hardware, 200mw 5.8ghz TX - 2.2grams, nanocamera - 1gram, extra lipo for video system - ? gram :)
The aircraft is stock standard with 25% expo on ailerons and elevator.
Oracle diversity receives the video via a 14db patch and standard onmi.
The TX runs a spektrum module which pumps the signal into a booster (from DIY), booster is powered by a 7A BEC set to 6v.

Pretty basic setup really, nothing too fancy.

If at anytime I get warned of a bird behind me I start to worry! theyre always really pissed off! :P
