If so, how did you mount it? Bill Sent from my iPad On Jun 19, 2012, at 12:56 AM, "jchang10" wrote: > > Not sure why my first attempt didn't go thru.

To my surprise, i have a main wheel shimmy and not a nosewheel issue. It happens in a 5 knot speed range, so i can either accelerate or brake quickly thru the speed range to minimize the discomfort. > > http://youtu.be/lBi6RdOS2Cw > > This is the only video i have uploaded.

I basically did what Kevin did in his photo without the washer. I used one of the standard plastic mounts. I left the adhesive foam pad with the plastic cover still on it - don't want to use the adhesive but the foam pad provides nice cushioning and paint protection (or in my case scuff protection). I drilled a pilot hole in the center, which is right on that raised center rail. Then i just used a countersink until a #8 CS screw was flush for the camera mount to easily slide thru. I have mounted it using a longer #8 access cover screw so far. I guess i could do an above the wing mount with a fuel tank screw too. However, a wingtip vantage point would be interesting too, but those are all #6 screws out on the wing tip. Jae mauledriver(at)nc.rr.com wrote: > Jar, is that a GoPro cam?

I'm probably the only pilot in history to request and get permission to back taxi on runway 19 at IAD (the tower was happy to have me back taxi 200 feet rather than wait for me to taxi a mile to the next turnoff). Lot's of fun!
