What kind of camera did you use > for that project? I used an Olympus digital camera. This was on a low and slow ultralight type airplane so streamlining wasn't necessary. On the Zodie I'll have to get a little more creative. Here's a couple pics of the ultralight mount. The camera is attached to the mount with it's 1/4 inch tripod mount screw, and the two servos operate the shutter and zoom. http://lightflyers.com/cammount.jpg http://lightflyers.com/camount2.jpg I'd sure like to get a look at the setup Dr Huba used to get those great shots he shared with us at http://www.ultralight.hu/zodiac601/zkepgaleria.htm Rick welding controls, steps, and gear legs this week. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:31:48 AM PST US From: Rick Subject: Zenith-List: Wiring diagram downloads? --> Zenith-List message posted by: Rick I've been gathering up a few instruments and radios to use on my Zodiac. So far I've got a King KT-76A transponder, an Aerosonic encoding altimeter (p/n 101627-01696L), and a Narco Com 120 TSO radio. These were all used parts with no cables, plugs, or trays. I'd sure like to find a place to download wiring diagrams or pinout instructions for these kind of items. Anybody know where these can be found on the net?

I've been 'grounded' a couple of times during my professional career, so I realize that it can seem like a long road back. And my situation wasn't as dramatic or life-threatening as yours. Please allow me to say a couple of things: First, I know of many professional pilots who have gone through open heart surgery (even quadruple bypass) and they have been relicenced to fly professionally. In fact some of these procedures are so well-known that it is 'almost' routine now. I don't know your situation, and so I may be way off-base here, but I hope this might provide some encouragement for you. Second, may I suggest that you not move too fast on selling your aircraft... While I was grounded, the building process was very therapeutic and enjoyable - provided I worked in the right mode (i.e. avoiding setting myself rigid deadlines, and just worked as long as I wasn't getting tired or frustrated). Since accomplishing my first flight, I've had the wings off and the aircraft stored back in my garage where I've continued to build/upgrade many items. Building is still enjoyable while waiting for spring. In any case - I wish you the very best in your decision, and pray for your full recovery. -- Grant Corriveau Montreal Zodiac 601hds/CAM100 C-GHTF ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:16:50 AM PST US From: "Al Young" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: web page --> Zenith-List message posted by: "Al Young" Fred- I have a web site that is just now being constructed.
