Excellent tool. Has a solid, firm feel to it, too. One ad mentioned a 30 foot extension? Where can I find one of those?

The $49 is 3 feet while the $85 is 6 feet, according to the ads. Mine is 3 feet from HF. Heckuva bargain at $49. David M.

Be careful that you know what you order from the website you linked below. Cjeck out the next page: www.reliablepaper.com/Ridgid_SeeSnake_micro_Inspection_Camera_s/6295.htm It looks like they used a stock picture of the entire camera set for not only the camera head, but each of the accessory options except the 9mm camera. If that's true, then even if you get the camera, you will still have to buy the cable and the accessory kit separately...the $49 version appears to be JUST the 3 foot cable extension. When you get done buying everything you need, it'll be a bit more than the HF unit which is $139 right now, but goes on "sale" regularly for $99.. Having said that, the major difference between the Rigid unit and the Harbor Freight one, is that the HF unit has a REMOVABLE screen that is wireless. I was able to remove the screen, plug it in to my computer, then walk out to the garage while recording what it was seeing into my computer (it doesn't come with the software to do that, just an video cable...I already had an video to digital converter and the software). I tried using the HF unit with the screen attached several times, but even for simple inspections, it was easier to detach it so I could manipulate the camera without having to stand on my head to see the screen.

I didn't catch that. Looks like the camera unit itself is $76 at: plus the 9.5mm camera and cable for $107 at: so it would cost around $183 in total for the smaller camera.

You must have missed my previous email today on this topic, as I mentioned a couple of uses I've put it to. In addition to those (including recording the inspections directly into my computer), I used it to repair a pocket door (like the doors on Star Trek...slide into the wall) at a friends house that had jumped the track INSIDE the pocket. I used the camera to look in along the top edge of the door from the end and see which side it jumped off on, and what was needed to get it back on the track...also used it to watch what I was doing as I maneuvered it back on track. Without a camera like that, she would have had to tear out the trim molding and then cut a hole in the wall behind it just to see what the problem was, and then probably cut another hole to adjust it. As far as my Long EZ, so far, I've checked the hell hole to find tools and small parts I've dropped in there...inspected the inside of the strakes, both from inside the fuselage, and through the holes in the strake used to tighten the wing mounting bolts, and just today found some washers I had dropped into the nose when installing the electric nose lift (the fuselage is currently upside down ...I used the magnet to pick up the washers once I saw them lying between the nose block and the forward edge of the back battery bulkhead ). When I get the holes cut for the fuel tank filler, I'll be using it to examine the inside of the tanks. It can also electrically flip and/or rotate the image on the screen. Don't know if the others do that. The HF camera has been worth every penny! You just have to remember that with the camera it comes with, if you want a sharp focus, then what you are viewing should be further away than 4 inches...that smaller 9mm camera is advertised to have a shorter focal range if you want to see something close, and pay the extra money for it. As I mentioned earlier, the best part is being able to remove the screen...then you don't have to twist around in weird positions to try to look at it as you move the camera handle.

Greetings all, I've attached an electrical architecture (in Bob's drawing style) for your review. It's for the Longeze I'm restoring. I'm doing the restoration in multiple stages. Although it had ~1000 Hrs. on it when I obtained it, it's been grounded since I received it. The attached architecture is intended to be more robust and fault tolerant than what was there (which I'm sure it is...) and certainly not worse in that regard than a TC aircraft (though not as good as a design with an essential bus). Down the road a bit, I intend to replace the vacuum system and associated instruments with electric, plus a backup alternator and an architecture with an essential bus. I would appreciate comments on the architecture and, specifically, on any unmitigated faults (especially those that would not be acceptable in a TC aircraft). The aircraft is VFR only.

As to range, I've had it contact stuff and it was almost in focus. Range for the wireless part is a few feet inside the house if there's a wall between you and maybe 25 or 30 feet outside. So range varies. It does have a video out port so getting it into a computer is a snap. David M.

Nice and complete Andrew! -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Butler Sent: 30 September 2009 10:47 AM Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Visio? Hi Tim, Here's mine, all done in Visio......... I started off by importing Bob's CAD drawings and then converting them. I then went about "cleaning" up the less than perfect result and saving the individual components as "groups". After that, drag and drop and copy and paste works a charm in Visio. Would you like a copy of the source? Andrew. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Andres" Sent: Wednesday, 30 September, 2009 05:37:41 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: AeroElectric-List: Visio? Has anyone tried using Visio to draw their schematic? It looks like it will work but I'm not finding much in the way of automotive symbols i.e. solenoids relays etc. Can anyone recommend a free or cheap program for this?

If the guy is considering adding a fuse then that suggests to me its a homebuilt aircraft, raising the question of just how much care has been taken to configure everything to best practice for the mission desired. Some radios designed for the Ultralight / LSA markets are not TSO'd and not necessarily able to withstand the conditions of electrical immunity spelled out in DOD-160 or better. In a proper installation with an adequate electrical system any TSO'd radio should be OK with the conditions described. I would not expect a properly sized CB to trip and definitely not hold my breath for a fuse do do anything. I have owned a 1961 Cessna or 12 years and my CH701 for the last five, these have been equipped with the same KY97a radio and I have never turned the radio off before starting the plane or any of that stuff that basically wears out the switches and volume controls. I can't think of a better way to test a radio than the O-200 with the pull starter! But I've seen a high proportion of the newer radios with warnings about requiring an avionics master switch, large capacitor ( a problem in itself because that will render the CB / fusing inadequate) and these are the radios that seem to scramble their insides on a regular basis. Not sure if that gives any insight into whats happened if it was my plane I'd be retaining the CBs not adding fuses - the fact you can attempt to replace them inflight is a danger in itself.
