Nice photos--you've got a pretty stable platform up there. What sort of
setup do you have to record your video signals?
My flight instructor, Mark, has been using a 12 VDC VCR to record flights
for his students, but his recorder has died. He would be interested in
upgrading to some sort of PC based system. I have a USB video adapter that
can take coax or S-video input and convert that to a MPG-? signal that can
be played on a PC. Mark would like something that could be recorded to a
flash drive and then could be burned to a dvd by his students after the
lesson. I guess a 12 V DVD-R would also work, but that doesn't sound very
rrobust.
I'm wondering what's available out there now? Thanks for any insight you
can give me.

Not all video is created equal. Generally digital will be higher quality than
analog and less susceptible to interference. High quality requires a lot of memory
and the ability to transfer and store a lot of data quickly. I suspect that
the quality and quantity of video that could be downloaded to a flash drive
would be unsatisfactory for most purposes. There are some cameras out their
that burn directly to a mini-DVD or hard drive that might work in this situation.
I shoot and edit video professionally (documentary films.) Everything I do is
in high def, recorded to tape and then downloaded to a computer for editing.
One thing you learn very quickly is that you'll never have higher quality than
the original source so you need to determine just what that quality needs to
be.

Thanks for the thoughts, Tim.
Probably anything Mark does will be better than what he has been doing. I'm
attaching a screen image from playing a digitized lesson segment with
Windows Media Player on my PC. The video file was made by sending the image
from a VHS tape to my Win TV box, and saving the digitized file on my PC.
As you can see, it's none too sharp. None-the-less, I can see out the
windscreen well enough to know where I am. And, since I know the panel very
well, and, since I can see the indicators on the altimeter, ASI, and tach,
I know what those readings are, even though I cannot read the numbers. I
can also interpret the AI images. The interesting thing is that Mark told
me that the images on my PC were the best he had seen from his setup.
Can he do better? Ya, lots. But he is not likely to pay much, so even this
quality, in a completely digital setup, would probably make him happy. And,
since he only charges $50/hr wet for his 150 and $30/hr for lessons, I
won't complain.
I would add that the videos were very valuable to me. More than once, I saw
my hands move the yoke on the video in ways that I would have sworn did not
happen. But, it's hard to deny the video evidence. And, on my
fly-monthly-to-keep-up-the-skills-while-building program, I always review
my "How to land this airplane" video before I go. Plus, I'm planning to
implement something similar when I get to my Phase I testing. I think that
the automatic recording of the panel and the audio will prove to be a
valuable, low effort, record keeping technique while testing.
So, the question is, what is a cost effective way to save low-to-medium
quality video for student's use?

The FAA maintains a list of kits that have been found to meet the 51%
rule, the C601XL is already on that list so you shouldn't have to bother
with this form.

Tim, you said comments appreciated.
I dislike dealing with speculation or statements without factual background
("I remember reading once..."), but if we could get the truth on this matter
about inspection lists I doubt 8000-38 is really for the builder. It seems
that "I read once..." that it was for the kit manufacturer OR the builder
with an exp-ab that was using lots of parts from another a/c or two.
No facts in my statement, but asking ten different FSDO or MIDO offices will
get you ten interpretations. The FAA guys are here but they're not
necessarily here to help us with actual readings of the regs. Has anyone
called Joe Norris at the EAA on this?
You could have the form ready if you think it would grease the inspection
process. With the way the inspector types and DARs differ, anything can
help, but be ready for them to just brush it aside and catch you somewhere
else.
cheers jeff HDS/3300 do not archive as the stuff below can be interpreted
in many ways
+++
e. Checklist. The FAA Form 8000-38,Fabrication/Assembly Operation Checklist,
is used by the
FAA as an aid in determining if a manufacturer's aircraft meets the major
portion requirements of
section 2 1.19 1 (g).
AC 20-139 413196
+++ Notice it says Plans-built a/c in next section AC 20-139 413196
b. Completed Kit-Built Aircraft. When a kit has been evaluated and published
in the listing of 4
eligible amateur-builta ircraft kits, and no commercial assistance was used
in the construction of the x
aircraft using the evaluated kit, the AS1 or DAR will not be required to
make another major portion rule
determination for the completed aircraft.
c. Plans-Built Aircraft.
(1) During final inspectionf or compliancew ith section2 1.191( g), a
plans-built aircraft must be
evaluatedu sing the FAA Form 8000-38a s a guide. If the builder intendst o
utilize commercial
assistancet,h e FAA Form 8000-38c an be submittedt o the FAA prior to
construction,l isting the taskso r
processesfo r which the commerciala ssistanceis proposed.I t shoulda lso
show the intendedf abrication
and assemblyt askst he builder will perform. On the basiso f this
pre-constructionc hecklist, a builder of
a plans-built aircraft should be able to obtain an evaluation in writing
from the AS1 or DAR of the effect
that the proposedc ommercial assistancew ill haveo n the major portion
requirementf or the completed
aircraft.
+++ And this sure seems like it's directed at someone evaluating a
manufactuer's kit - perhaps for the 51% rule.
413196 AC 20-139
Appendix 1
APPENDIX 1. PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FAA FORM 8000-38, FABRICATION/ASSEMBLY
OPERATION CHECKLIST
1. PURPOSE. This appendix provides instructions for completing FAA Form
8000-38.
A sample form is included as figure 1.
2. GUIDANCE. This form may be used by any person to establish the
eligibility of an aircraft
to be certificated experimental, for the purpose of operating as an
amateur-built. Prepare the
form as follows:
a. Enter the company name and address, aircraft model, (by name and/or
number), document
name and date (manufacturer's parts list, assembly manual, etc., with latest
revision) and type of
aircraft (land, sea, fixed-wing, rotorcraft, etc.).
b. Mark the specific tasks required to fabricate and assemble the aircraft.
Mark, an "x"
under the column heading "Accomplished By" in the appropriate space when the
task is
performed by the AMATEUR. If the task is performed by the kit manufacturer
or by a person
providing commercial assistance,a mark will be placed in the KIT
MANUFACTURER column.
Additional blank lines are provided to list any tasks not on the checklist.
If a task is listed and
not applicable to the construction of the aircraft enter N/A in the
appropriate space.
c. Use the comments area to enter any additional comments, information or
statements, as
necessary.
d. Print or type name of person performing the evaluation of the kit or
aircraft.
e. The person performing the evaluation of the kit or aircraft should sign
their name in the
signature block.

I've been using a bullet cam on the rudder to record tuft testing, so
similar needs to Scott's.
I've been using a video camera with aux input, and the results are good.
The results load into the computer, and 'Movie Maker' (part of XP) is
easy for editing and uploading to YouTube. The procedure for starting
the camera to record from aux input requires several steps of
manipulating little buttons and following propts on the little screen -
not easy while flying..... And the little screen is too small for good
live viewing in the cockpit.
I considered trying to multiple to one of those screens used for viewing
in-car DVDs, and maybe record onto a DVD-R as Scott has done. But is
there a better way, to record directly onto a lap top?? Don't need
broadcast TV quality, just reasonable....
Anyone out there know how to best do this??

If you buy a "webcam" it will have a USB interface instead of "composite
video" (an RCA connector). Then you can connect the camera directly to a
laptop and capture with software either bundled with the camera of provided
with your computer. Windows XP includes a program called "Windows Movie
Maker". Resolution will be as good or better than a conventional TV.
But the laptop may produce interference on your radio.

<cookwithgas@hotmail.com>
Terry:
Craig had the pictures right. I just mounted a cheep "bullet"
camera on the rudder ($79 from Ebay). It has sound but I didn't run a
line for sound!
Recording was more of a challenge and what I ended up with is a
cheap DVD recorder (under $50) from Wal-Mart and a small inverter that I
plug into the power adapter I installed on my panel. The last thing I
need is some sort of small TV so I can see what is recording from the
cockpit. Right now I have to set everything up with a large TV in the
hangar and start recording and leave the power on or I'll lose the
setup.
The next challenge is getting the video from DVD to MPG or AVI. I'm
using a Demo version of NERO right now to see if I like it. I hope to
have lots more videos to post as flying continues.
I hope you are enjoying the videos and keep building - it's a great
feeling to see it fly.

Scott,
Viewing your video from the rudder cam I've noticed some interference. Some looks
like a poor cable connection while some appears to come from another source.
I wonder if radio transmissions from the plane are somehow interfering with
the video signal.
Regarding a webcam - with a long enough cable you could connect directly to a laptop,
however - a full resolution video signal burns up about a gig of video
every 5 minutes so you'd need to make sure you had the hard drive space.

The interference was the radio. Next time we are going to talk less. The good
news is that my radio is working perfectly picking up transmissions from miles
away. One less thing to worry about.
More to come,

I saw in another post you mentioned that you do professional videography...
Recently I bought a Canon HV20 and Final Cut Express. So far the results are
very good, but stabilizing the image, especially if I'm flying is a problem.
Do you have any advice ( besides trying not to shoot through the window )?
Thanks,
-John

1-sided DVD's have about 4.3 gig of storage, IIRC, and will record ~2 hrs
of video at pretty good quality, which is about 28-minutes/gig. Is there
some way to convert the "full resolution video" to DVD quality w/o too much
hassle? If so, that would be more than adequate for my flight instructor's
needs.
As far as flying with a laptop, I definitely plan to use a laptop with
Waiters data acquisition program, (see)
http://www.iflyez.com/EFISRecorder.shtml
to record the EFIS, EIS, and GPS data while in flight testing, so adding
the webcam to the mix would not be much additional effort, assuming the
laptop could handle the workload. Waiter's program could also be very
useful for JG in his tuft testing if he has an EFIS. He would just need a
sync at some point between his data log and his video to have complete
correlation between the video and the flight data.

I asked Jabiru about the diode suggestion today. They said the
Jabiru system is a set of permanent magnets producing current to a
regulator-rectifier and doesn't have a diode like a Continental or
Lycoming so I guess that rules that out but thanks for replying. Jim

There are plenty of diodes (rectifiers) and other semiconductors inside the
regulator that could be fried. AC still has to be turned into DC somewhere.
See page 54 in the manual linked below for a schematic of the regulator. But
since the regulator is encapsulated you would have to replace the whole
unit.

Here's the latest on my situation. I connected my radio directly to
the battery (power & ground) in the aft fuselage but still had the
same whine. I then took a motorcycle battery and connected the radio
directly to it and the whine was completely gone. The radio was
absolutely clear with the engine running. I have ordered an inline
noise filter suggested by several individuals and will let you know
how that turns out when it's installed. Thanks again to everyone who

For those interested, I've started to put up a web sight about my project. So
far it's just some pictures, not much text or other links.
I'm plans building a 601XL.
