Up Date;
All put together now!
In house with out propellers I tested the motors, no issues.
Tested the camera, all functions working properly and recording.
I took numerous photos as I was working on the repair.

This is what my eyes looked like yesterday evening.
This morning I soldered all the wires back to the mini camera board.
The plastic pins that hold the gimble brackets were not in great shape so I decide to use another method which I will post a picture later.
I just happen to have lock nuts and Teks lath screws #8x1", the diameter and length fit perfect allowing it to still have the flexibility to wiggle.

This is what my facial expression is this morning.




Will be going out to fly here shortly.
No I'm not going to fly without the camera.
That's like going out and testing the airworthiness after a 100 hour inspection on a AH-1G, and not trusting the person who worked on it.
So we went and did several maneuvers including a hammer head at 9000' down range Ft. Carson Colorado

1976.
Geeezzzz the blade did hold up after all???
As a crew chief I got to do a lot of flying. NOE
