Vic, the camera is a little Canon PowerShot A710, 7.1 mega pixels. I shoot through
the door. I clean it with pledge first.
When I take pictures I have both hands on the camera. I keep the plane steady
with the rudder pedals and want to hear the engine to detect any RPM changes.
With the door open hands off flying is not as easy for me and I can't hear the
engine very well. So, I am chicken to take pictures with the door open. I
should have a passenger try that I guess.

drivers. - =0A=0A - =0A=0AI was flying with a friend and after take of

=0Anotice that the cap on the bottom plug on the #2 cylinder was loose. -
I was hoping that that was it.- A test flight showed no problem, so I=0Af

real careful check showed the cap on the bottom plug on the #2=0Acylinder
was real loose and the top cap, while not a loose as the bottom one,=0Awas
looser than all the others. =0A=0A - =0A=0AI decided two new caps were in

some questions: =0A=0A - =0A=0AWhy the #2 cylinder? =0A=0AWhy both caps
on this cylinder? =0A=0AHas anyone else observed this problem? =0A=0AWhy
would the cap wear like this? =0A=0AWhy are the spark plug caps for the 912
