Paul,
I haven't gotten the GMC on the road since installing the shroud flaps. I'm
waiting for the new brake booster to arrive; maybe today. I probably won't
gather much data before the trip to Du Quoin; that will be the acid test --
if the weather doesn't cool off too much by then.

Paul,
Sorry, I forgot to address your questions about the engine hatch: I don't
have a video camera to put in the engine compartment, and the engine hatch,
while not raised, cannot be replaced with a standard one. As of last week,
most of it is at OEM level, but the air cleaner cutout and aluminum plate
cover are different, with a slight dome in the aluminum plate. All to clear
the EFI on the Cad500.
Unless I come up with a camera, the flaps' performance will have to be
implied from the results.

Has anyone entertained the idea of installing those inexpensive video
security camera systems in a coach. I believe you can get four cameras and
a four-way split screen monitor for about $200? Good job for the co-pilot.
two in the engine compartment one for a rear view and one extra - behind the
frig?

Ken--you are slipping! Normally we would have expected a pot and a digital gage on your dash

Fred,
No, I don't have bore scope. Do you think it would show the operation of
the shroud flaps? How long is the probe? I'll see if there's a 5/8" hole
to run through.

Paul,
We might try something like that. Or I might even make a temporary plywood
hatch with a Lexan window in it just for short term testing.

the resolution is not bad and can see from a foot or two away. the snake is about 3 ft. long. the biggest problem is orientation of the lens and view screen.

Thanks anyway, Fred, but I think this web cam will work better. It has good
depth of field, field of view, and sensitivity. And since it's a USB
interface I can easily run the wire through the hatch -- with an extension
if necessary. We may yet get to see if the flaps flap.
