Wheeler,

Those were excellent!

You must have been pretty tired hanging on on top of the wing and filming that.

Just kidding.

How did you mount the camera up there?

Is that a special fish eye lens or something? Or does is the camera just always set up with that field of view.

Nice job.

I mounted the camera to my wing gap seal using the supplied suction cup mount, I also placed a safety wire around it just be safe. The lens on the Go-Pro camera is of a fixed focal length, they have two models as I recall.

Thanks for the compliment!
