That is exactly what I use on my GoPro Hero2 -- the only difference being that I use a skeleton housing and place 2 little circular discs I cutout between the camera and the housing. Here is a video I made during a flight lesson last year with it:

While traveling with a friend in his Acclaim from Denver to St Louis, ATC called up and said, "uh you guys to a rocket on that thing? I just clocked you at 301 ground speed." I looked at my buddy and he just had this s***-eating grin on his face.

I get a 404 error probably 90% of the time when I try to access http://mooneyspace.com via Firefox v21 for Mac. I always have to use Safari v6.04, and even then it only succeeds about 60% of the time. It rarely, if ever, fails with Safari on my iPad. The error message is generated by Apache, so it is most likely not a DNS issue. For the record, I did verify that nslookup returns 198.74.57.200 for mooneyspace.com and www.mooneyspace.com.

You might want to review how to use and/or read Vref skynewbie. Just plugging in the TTAF and the SMOH gets it to $66k. Add in the new interior, the KAP200, the KCS55, and the JPI700 and you'd get a $79k valuation.

The state of the available GA fleet leaves a lot to be desired. The planes which are marginally affordable by the Average Joe are closing in on 40 or more years old, fully equipped with lots of steam gauges, and useless (or near useless) avionics (LORAN, ADF, etc). We carry more computing power in our pockets than was imaginable at the time the planes were designed, and wonder why the planes can't be equipped with similar devices. Just about any plane that does have glass installed costs more than the average house. Add to that the ADS-B requirement by 2020, which is going to be expensive, and a lot of people are hesitant to buy. I expect that a lot of the GA fleet will be weeded out because of this. It also costs a lot of money for training -- I laugh when I hear people say that PPL only takes 35 hours and "only" $10k to achieve -- yes it might be possible for one out of a hundred people to achieve it in that amount of time, but the average person takes a lot longer to achieve it. That's a lot of time and a lot of money to most people. But rather than focus on the negative, we need to start looking for solutions, to determine what we can do to get the next generation to look up from the pale blue glow of their iDevice and to the brilliant blue skies. We need the media and politicians to stop demonizing the pilot population and change the notion that GA planes are unsafe when we all know that a 60 year old Cessna is far better maintained than 60% of the automobiles on the road. We need to change the perception that flying is a rich man's game. We need our advocacy organizations to actually advocate for us and our rights as pilots and free citizens, rather than selling us more crap which we don't need.

Based on your description, you certainly have my attention at that asking price... It might just be a few months too early for me though.
