Merry Christmas Jon, Nice video, amazing how the fog "grows". Funny how you and Paul were experimenting with a fin camera all that time ago, I first saw one on A380 and thought it was

A little Q history for ya'll. I don't remember the exact year but approximately twenty years ago Paul Fisher and I were messing with video cameras on our Q's. These were the latest and greatest

It’s really you! The Mad Scientist! John! Ah knew it along! What won’t you come up with next! Kin ah git’n auto-graft?! Bruce

Great video Jon....pro quality. Dave D

Very cool. Seems like the camera might vibrate but it looked good. Mike Dwyer Q200

Jim and Terry, Thanks! That wingtip view is from my version of a camera on a stick. I'm using a GoPro Max 360, 5' of aluminum tubing, and some alum angles. It's a work in progress. Actually... the

Merry Christmas everyone. You dont hear much from me but I'm building and reading all your posts. All the best!

Very Impressive Jon, how did you get those close ups? Was someone filming you? Merry Christmas to all of you from the Snowy Sierra Nevada’s. We’re suppose to get a major dump. It’s cold and

Cool beans!

Merry Christmas to all. Jon, Can you tell me how you have the camera mounted from your wing tip, what type of boom and how far out? Terry N41521 KSCK

Ahhh….now I follow you. Yep, that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying. -- Corbin N121CG

I'm simply not being clear. You correctly stated that it will/would be hard to keep the drift centered properly on the stuck pin when the end of the stuck pin is down inside the wheel. I was just

Anthony, I might not understand because wouldn't using the axle to try and tap the pusher rod back out do the same as you describe? -- Corbin N121CG

Thanks, Mike. I believe my pusher rod made it past the space and is about halfway through the wheel. But I follow what you are saying otherwise. -- Corbin N121CG

If the others' suggestions for gentle coaxing have not worked, try a short length (1") of hose or PVC with similar O.D. to your axle and place that over your smaller diameter drift. It will work as a
