Camera Hole?
« on: May 08, 2007, 05:11:14 AM »
Hi all,
I may have found a reason to install a camera hole in my Long.
I'm thinking that the area immediately forward and center of the passenger thigh support would be ideal. I'm looking at around about a six inch circular hole.
The plans call for, and my plane has been built with a roughly four inch wide ridge running through this space in the passenger floor.
My question is: Is this structural? Can anybody see a problem with a mod like this?
Obviously I'd glass the sides of the hole and plug it nicely when no camera was installed.
I would consider mounting the camera in a baggage pod if necessary, however I don't have any and the pax floor would be way easier until I prove this up.
Leave aside any concerns about the legality of  doing commercial air work operations with an amateur built, that doesn't appear to be an issue in Oz.
Cheers,
Don
