I don't trust the heat sensor on the right side of the engine bay to activate soon
enough to land safely, especially for fires caused by the bearings of the lower
propeller belt drive. It'd be easy to install a small video camera at the front of
the engine bay, and run the wires to a small display in the cockpit where it's
easily seen. This could be used on gas power and FES (for the battery compartment)
gliders. Has anyone tried this?
