Recently ordered a "Borescope for Android" to use with my smartphone...for only $16. Has 6 LED lights (w/ dimmer), semi-rigid cable, and it's waterproof. Really economical...but only medium resolution. Experimented exploring inside of fuel tank...it's only 7mm diameter, so could enter via non-plugged hole.
Received from Vans the Electric Aileron Trim for RV10/14 Kit (EA-10 Kit), and 14 Garmin AP Servo Install Kit (for Autopilot Roll and Pitch). Spent about 1 hr doing inventory and reviewing instructions. Wanted these prior to completing Wings with bottom skin panels - vs access through Access Hatches. Roll Trim Kit includes the Ray Allen Trim System (ie motor, etc), but the Autopilot is installation brackets, etc only - I'm waiting to buy the Garmin Servo until much closer to plane completion.
OMG ! Very challenging to install the Stall Warning Assembly via Access Hatch. Lost count of number of times temporarily installed/removed trying to get Vane positioned perfectly to properly activate switch. 1st had to slightly open mounting slot, then determined needed to "slightly" bend switch arm. One direction didn't work, so tried opposite with no JOY....so ultimately discovered needed just slightly more bend in direction first tried. Tough to tighten allen head screws inside access area...but got 'er done! Whew...
