Bit the bullett and had my first solo flight yesterday. Also had my 2nd and 3rd solo flights as well and managed to video them.
I used a Carkeys camera that i got off ebay real cheap! Here is the link to it:

He has them even cheaper that I got it for. I paid au$7.50! Only catch is o hve to supply your own micro flash card!
I had the camera mounted with velcro to the wing tip of my trojan and I guess there must have been some vibration which caused the odd wavey look to the video. All went well and I flew curcuits until it was time to land. I buggered up the landing as I came in too steep and tumbled the plane!

Here is my thrid solo and 2nd attempt at inflight Video. All went great until landing. Stuffed that up too! Couldn't work out if I was too high or too low or too fast until i run out of runway and hit the bog at the end of the field!
