Pilot's Eye View from R/C Pitts S1-S
 
And now for something completely different - how about a pilot's eye view from my radio controlled Pitts S1-S? Sorry about the tall, narrow field of view, but I had the GoPro mounted vertically because it required the least modification to the canopy/cockpit area. Just a "proof of concept" exercise - next will be to make a bit more of a commitment, and perform the necessary modifications to mount the GoPro horizontally. I'm pretty happy, for a first try though.

This was filmed from the larger of these two airplanes. I threw a tennis ball in for scale.

Bravo, Jeff - that was pretty slick.

How about making a model machine gun synchronized to fire in between prop rotations?

That was some nice flying sir.
I've heard of VR drone racing and thought about that setup as well.

Well, I modified how I have the camera mounted so it is now horizontal as it should be. This looks much better:
