Amazing how a buck fifty drill bit can cost six figures when used on an aircraft.

The many moving parts don't bug me as much as how they share airspace.

AP News article, didn't read it but this did catch my eye. This looks a little more complicated than usual... and why are they smiling?
Hey, Russ.
Did someone discover that the tech was drilling in the wrong spot and that is why you were called?

Here’s the kicker, unless they return the structure to a reasonable facsimile of the original, then the camera mount won’t fit on this aircraft without re-engineering some structure of the kit and FAA approval. I think they COULD get a one time field approval but that depends on the relationship they have with their FSDO.
Either way, after exploring options with their people tomorrow morning, I’m out of there.
