After a few flights with the DJI FPV camera on the wing I asked Jason to design/3D print a vertical stabiliser mounted gimbal. First flight revealed this was an awesome position for FPV flying.
Although I like the FMS Fox, it's made from foam and picks up dings and dents very easily. My plan is to fit this setup into a composite Fox glider in the near future.

Please note that this powered glider was flown at a BMFA affiliated site with a NOTAM in place. A second competent pilot was holding a second master transmitter that could take control of the powered glider from the slave transmitter used by the FPV pilot as required. For this reason it is considered a line of sight (LOS) flight, not a first person view (FPV) flight. We take advice from our contacts at the BMFA for all our new FPV aircraft configurations so we understand the rules and limitations we should operate under.
