We've been using a similar set up, with a small security camera

mounted in

the end of a peice of plastic pipe, for some strucural inspections on

Pink

(http://www.pink.at/bilder/fde31.jpg). The view is much better than

the $$$

boroscopes I am used to (although it's not a fair comparison as we

have

boro

equipment down to 2.5mm diameter). A very cheap, effective inspection

tool.

Now THAT is a skydiver hauler if I ever saw one!
I've been wondering how a couple of 20B's (or 26B's) running 2 atmospheres
of boost and a 3:1 gear would work on a cabin class jump plane.  Sure give
the turbines a run for their money.  Anyone got a Beech 18 that needs
engines?  P-)
How much does an R-985 weigh?

    HOW ABOUT A TURBOED-20B/ CESSNA 182 IT'S IN MY HANGER A "56" MODEL  (hi
gear), STOL KIT, FLAP AND GAP SEALS, JUMP DOOR, AIRGASUM.   TRYING TO DECIDE
ON PROP THAT WILL HANDLE 350HP AND HAVE GOOD GROUND CLEARANCE.   JUST PLAYING
AROUND WITH IDEAS RIGHT NOW FOR THIS SUMMER.   THE GUYS ARE SETTING IN MY
LOFT THIS WINTER REPAIRING GEAR, PATCHING JUMP SUITS,  AND REFUSING TO LET ME
BACK IN UNTIL I HAVE THE MOTOR HUNG ON IT.   THEY'RE THREATING TO PUT A JUMP
DOOR IN MY 13B-LANCAIR WITH A SAWZALL IF I DON'T HURRY UP (WINTER HAS THEM A
LITTLE PENT UP).   IDEAS WELCOME.   THANKS, DOC D-1386
