So do you just rely on the suction cup to hold a GoPro on the outside of the airframe Robbie??. I'm going to get one, just don't want to lose it.

I'm not Robbie, but I've tried the suction cup and the vibration was no bueno (also more asymmetric drag). Instead, I just affix a couple of the adhesive mounts where I think I'll want them. I looked around on the internet and they are supposedly good up to 200 mph. To remove I use a heat gun on low to soften up the glue and it comes right off...

I can't remember how to post pictures to the forum, but here is a link to my favorite photo I took of my Sonex. My wife liked it so much she asked for a 20 X 30 matted print for her office.

Here's a pic of Brandy (C-FJNJ) over the Eastern Townships of Quebec a couple years ago. Photo credit to Tim Doherty.

Well, that tag didn't work, don't understand why, link works fine by itself... I'll try the url tags:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0eD0uA4Gw3nZHZ0bFZBWWNyaXc

Works, but requires extra click. How are you guys getting inline pics?

I use the adhesive mount clips on the horizontal stabilizer.

No problems so far with losing one.
