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?
