WINGS – GENERAL
1. SCOPE
The Soloy / Cessna 206 wing mount camera involves the structural aspects of
mounting the camera on the left wing and the aerodynamic adjustments for flight
with the camera installed. All components of the wing modified or added during
the wing mount camera installation are described in this chapter.
NOTE
If installing a spar block, intercostal block, intercostal web,
aileron trim tab or any of their associated shims for the first
time, contact Soloy Aviation Solutions for initial installation
instructions.
A. WING ACCESS PANELS
Two new access panels are created for the wing mount camera installation.
The panels are located on the left wing only and are designated as 510YBS
and 510ZBS. The access panels function like all other standard Cessna wing
access panels. The access panels are located to allow for the installation of
the spar blocks, intercostal web and blocks, and for an access point for the
camera cable to pass through when a camera is mounted on the wing.
Additionally 510YBS can be configured with or without the camera cable hole
depending on if the camera cables are needed.
B. SPAR BLOCKS
Two spar blocks are fastened inside the wing to an existing wing spar. They
are used as the forward two hard points for the dovetail mount.
C. INTERCOSTAL WEB AND BLOCKS
An intercostal web is added to the wing between wing access holes 510YBS
and 510ZBS. The intercostal blocks are then fastened to the intercostal web
and act as the aft two hard points for the dovetail mount.
D. DOVETAIL MOUNT
The dovetail mount is located on the forward part of the left wing and is the
standard platform to which the camera mounts. The dovetail mount features
locking indentations and a stop pin to allow the camera to only be removed
from the front side of the mount. A matching lower dovetail mount attached
to the camera is used to install the camera assembly.
E. CAMERA INSTALLATION
The complete camera installation is specific to the make and model of
camera installed, but the basic steps remain unchanged for all eligible
cameras. The camera installation involves installing the camera on the
mount, switching out the wing access panel to allow the camera cable to pass
through the skin of the wing and adjustment of the aileron trim tabs.
