There have been several times over the past years where I can't get in to see a section or area of a sailplane or tow plane and inspect the internal structure. Many times I have wanted to look down the fuselage or inside the wings to inspect the structure and found it very challenging. Often leading to opening things up to see what is inside and then having to fix the opening afterward.
I was over at Home Depot the other day picking up a few things and found this Ryobi inspection camera which has a 3 ft length flexible cam with LED lighting. It was reasonably priced at $99 and thought it would be a great help.
I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I plan on using it to do some internal inspection of the wing ribs and structure of the mounting areas in the 100cc Carbon Cub wings. This will allow me to determine if they need some reinforcement and where I need to open things up to do this effectively.
If I can download still images I'll post them when I look in the wings in the next week.
Thought I would share this in case it might be helpful for others as well.
