The mount itself is nice, but the cable control system is horrible. The use of electric servos would have made the system much lighter, less drag, and would have been 100 times easier to install without the need to cut holes in the plane.

Thanks for the "horrible" report, but you really don't know what you are
talking about and the only way you will change my mind is to make one, shoot
some video and let me see it.
Actually, I have experimented with servos and with the budget I have and
what is out there - they don't work. I talked to a guy over the weekend
that is working on a still camera system and for that they will work fine,
for video, even with 5 pole digital servos you will see the pulse of the
step movement in a slow pan. I guess you can essentially filter this out
with stabilizing gyros, but then you are talking some bucks.
Being always willing to learn something new - do prove me wrong. If you
work for the government on secret weapons systems all bets are off, but if
you can prove me wrong with common off the shelf servos, I am all ears -
eyes.

Poor Lowell, everyones a critic. I thought it was complex and cool. My
video mount was a stationary aluminum angle mount pinned to the tail. Poor
video quality as well since I used my digital camera for video footage.
Check out Lazair.com under the Kitfox vids, but promise not to laugh at me.
