Cathy If your non-electric Kookaburra instrument panel is still looking a bit bare, I have a spare clockwork FLARM if you are interested.

I've asked winter for a quote to repair and I though I'd see what else was out there. Will make a decision soon Thanks Cath Sent from my iPhone On 06/09/2011, at 2:09 PM, "John Orton" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Cathy, I sent a message of list about a 80mm PZL vario that I have, not sure if you got it.

With 10,000+hrs on helicopters, with one ACFT having an odd ball French military70mm primary attitude indicator requiring a dispensation from the department, guess they have a problem with it too. If you can only fit one 80mm instrument into your panel, perhaps it should be the ASI? -- Kind regards Daryl Mackay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

DG gliders certainly recommend exactly this course of action. They regard the ASI as the most important instrument in the panel and therefore it should be large.
