RE: spook pics
Very nice, picture is very clear and your wing is so clean !! The reflection on the underside is a nice touch, is your exhaust on the left ( a 4 cycle) ?

RE: spook pics
The exhaust is on the same side as the camera but the wing is far enough away to stay clean. It is a 4 cycle, a OS 70 surpass II. I tried to get some shots today at a fly in at Sumter SC but when i got ready to remove the camera i noticed that the camera had slid forward in the mount and the lens had rotated away from the mark I put on the camera for optimum focus. The vibration isn't as bad as the quaker so i must be doing something right as far as the general layout of the mount, but i'll have to go back to the drawing board as far as the other problems are concerned. I'll probably cut a new foam mount that holds the camera on all four sides, and use some CA on the lens to keep it from rotating, a little harsh but its happened before and it must be stopped!

RE: spook pics
here's a couple of pics of my cam set up: The foam holder is EPP, the camera holder is held to the ply platform by Velcro, and the camera is held in the holder with a Velcro strap. I repositioned the lens adjuster ring when I wired in the switch ,and played with the focus to get the picture as clear as possible. I then put a drop of C/A on the lens adjuster to hold it in place.
