Hah! And I thought you were going to pack your cooler full of ill-fitting-in-airplane essentials, like tents and chairs and such!. Of course you realize that I might just have to apply that special pre-prohibition transport tax for this little favor, or perhaps if your supply ends up being minus one or two bottles by the time you arrive at KOSH, that might be sufficient as well.
On a more "related-to-thread" note - I am jotting this one down in my "future-to-do" list. Nice adaptation, and not bad for a POS from China! I even half understood the Chinenglish instructions - no doubt from much past experience.

Well there will be some ill fitting airplane essential items to be carried. As with any good rum running business you need a legitimate cover for your contraband.  Making sure that the "transport tax" is paid will be of the utmost importance.
I see in another thread that Pete Howell now has access to "Moonshine". This could lead to a possible expanding of the business... just a short hop over to Tennessee.
Thanks as always Bryan,

Good info Scott. I'm ordering one, because the Costco scope is the real POS. I have one and hate it.
Just curious... Are you running ROP? From the images, that would be my guess.

It would certainly be correct to say I run ROP. Even though I have a GRT EIS I have never had any success getting it to a LOP condition. It's a carbureted engine. Typically I just lean to roughness then crank it in two turns.
On another note, I did locate some "Free" camera software that seems to work OK with the camera. It is easier to use and works better than the supplied Chinese dental software. It is called Debut Video Capture software.
At my next oil change I plan to do a through camera inspection of all cylinders. When I get that done I will post it here and see what the engine experts think of my internals....
Regards,

I'm certainly no expert on this, but there was a EAA webinar on leaning just last Wednesday. I'm sure you could find a recording, but Mike Busch said you should lean to roughness and then richen the mixture just until it runs smooth, and that's it.
I thought it was a pretty good webinar, but I generally like all the ones he puts on.
The dental camera you found looks great. I may have to talk to my A&P into getting one.

It was talked about a few weeks ago in another thread.

I ordered and received that very same one. When I tried to load the software/driver for it, I got a virus detection warning. I bitched to the seller and he said to ignore the warning. I wasn't willing to do that, so he sent me a mini DVD with the software to load. Same problem, and he again advised to ignore the warning. Big runaround and I finally demanded my money back, which I eventually did get.
Proceed with caution and make sure you at least have up to date virus detection.

Which is exactly what the instructors taught in the 70's before anyone had any sort of engine monitoring instruments....

Lighting?
Thanks for the tip Scott. I'm with Phil, I can't get the Costco one to work worth a **** so far.
Did you add any external lighting sources for those samples you showed, or was it all from the camera?
