awesome plane Adam! How do you find the Rotax? and how many hours do you have on it now?

Found the info on the HD Av camera interesting, considering ordering two for myself......any chance you could upload a couple of photos of it coz the website doesn't really show you that much. Or if you want, message me and I'll give you my email address to send to. Thanks :)

Good video, really enjoyed it :)

lethal... my email is aec1964 at excite.com shoot me an email and I'll send you some photos of my install. May take me a few days but I will get you pics. I am a big fan of Flight Design and Rotax. Flying is a very expensive hobby, the LSA category is very cost efficient. The little 100 HP Rotax climbs at 1000 ft a minute, I have a 600 lb useful load, I only burn 4 gph and oil changes are 3 quarts! A lot of performance and low maint.

I went to Oshkosh last year (flew commercial)... I'm skipping this year for now. I had a lot of fun but I have a few business trips around that time which makes Oshkosh hard for 2011.

N530CT, see a video I just marked as "liked" with a thumbs up... That is the camera I use. The one you just saw on ebay doesn't have aviation audio set up. Its a special edition made just for aviation. I can't put a web address on this comment, it gives an error. Go to Light Sport Aviation Group Dot Com and select Aviator HD Camera. This modified version includes plugs for headset that isolates cockpit noise by recording what your headset hears.

530ct here. what type of video camera do you use during your flights?

[macaviationart]

I use the Contour HD Aviator Edition. It plugs into the headset plugs and records ATC audio along with the HD video 720p or 1080p. Its compact, works great and is available on line.

I use a suction cup mount on the back wall between the seats. To improve hold, I used a clear piece of 4 x 6 plexi which is stuck to the wall with double sided mounting tape. The suction cup holds very well to the plastic.

Hope that helps! Adam.

I see one on ebay and was wondering if you would be so kind as to let me know if this is the same setup that you use?

The item number is 290527384083

You planning on going to Oskosh. There are quite a few CT's going.
