The camera has a resolution of 704x576 pixels but the small monitor is only 480x240 pixels which is very low resolution (info from the Jaycar catalogue ). I think a higher resolution monitor would be better for fine work like crack detection etc. Black and white cameras and monitors tend to be higher resolution. Building a unit out individual "off the shelf" higher resolution components might be worth considering (and possibly no more expensive). Video gear this size does tend to be much lower resolution than still cameras. Maybe a tiny still camera with a remote view finder might be the go - you can take the pictures back to your computer and have a really good look.

Personally I like tanks with a well which goes to tank drain and fuel to engine is via finger filter which is above the tank unusable well and then it goes via a gascolator which would also have its drain Was thinking of replacing the "inline" filter behind the back of baggage rear bulkhead with a gascolator but it was no point. I think it is poor design and what you would see in GA. What do others think Ian McPhee
