    The image of the planes (blue) on ground at initial take-off is absolutely sharp. Looks like a great civilian tool for search and rescue, missing persons and the like.

      Yes I was surprised with the quality and the resolution. I haven't decided if I'm going to permanently mount this camera forward facing. Right now it is a bit of a novelty for my typical flight mission.

      @@gaFlights For sure. Also might be useful for screening/scanning a runway prior to a night landing where there is little activity. Good to know if there is any wildlife present. Living at an airpark might reveal some hot-tub action. Keep us updated.

      Yes this would be good for night time landings. And you're right about the other "action" : )

      thanks i don't know if I'll leave that FLIR attached that way but it is pretty cool.

    Those pads look pretty awesome and so is that infrared camera 😀

      The Brakes are really high quality. An engineer in California that has a Lancair designed them. I haven't seen any type of 3 piston calipers in the aviation market for aircrafts in this size range.

    Very nice Mod, that’s gonna give some good stopping power…

      Yes it does stop now. With the old brakes i couldn't lock the tires no matter how hard i pressed. these are like power brakes.

    I have the exact same camera but am having difficulty acquiring the correct cable to be place the camera off of the cell phone. Where did you get your cable?

    • @gaFlights
      @gaFlights  2 года назад +1

      Hello and that is exactly what I did. I used this cable from Amazon.... USB C Extension Cable 6FT, Stouchi New Version Type C 3.2 Male to Female Fast Charging & Audio Data Transfer.
      It works well and good luck.

    Interesting that the heat is instantly visible on the runway, I wouldn't have thought. With greater brake strength it must be more important to balance it so it doesn't suddenly flip to a side. The front wheel is castor right? I suppose it would be good discipline if the front wheel was steerable.
    And yes thermal can see far. I believe it cuts through atmospheric haze or even fog so your visibility can be greater.

    • @gaFlights
      @gaFlights  2 года назад +1

      That instant heat is the stationary wheel coming up to landing speed, about 70mph. I was also surprised but when you see the tire smoke when airplanes land I guess it makes sense. Yes a lot of planes have castoring nose wheels. (e.g. Cirrus SR 20 & SR22, Diamond DA40) The positive steering does have a certain about of redundancy should their be a braking problem.

    Whats the Orange camera Gary?

    • @gaFlights
      @gaFlights  2 года назад +2

      That orange camera is a run cam 4k. it costs about 100 bucks and never overheats like a GoPro. Also much more streamlined for aircraft.

    infray is better and cheaper than Hti. the HT 301 is a T3S because infiray supplies the entire module. even the new 300 dollars T2S+ can do this well #t2splus

    • @gaFlights

      Thanks for the feedback and I just looked at a review of the T3S and exactly the same spec as you said the sensor is the same and it looks like is uses the same software.
