Pictures of your Rig

[Thruster87]

Would anybody be interested in having a section/Thread for posting pictures of your own aircraft [Thrusters in this section].Would be nice to see whats' out there with respect to detail/closeup pictures of allowable mods etc. Cheers

That's a good idea, Ian could put a sticky at the top. Could put it for all separate Aircraft sections, at the top of each one.

Good idea but just thinking - isn't that what the photo gallery is for http://www.recreationalflying.com/forum/gallery/

Like I said this would be for mods etc which would be in finer detail and a description but it properly would work in the gallery section as well Just an idea Cheers

Haven't looked at that before Ian, will have a browse and add a few when I get time.

Thinking about this a bit more while working in the garden - still trying to assemble that darn gazebo - I might look at putting a row of random thumbnail images from the corresponding photo gallery category across the top of the list of threads in that particular forum.

 

I will however have to look at the load times to make sure it isn't impacted too much - but I think this may be a worthwhile amendment.

 

In other words there will be a row of random Thruster thumbnail images across the top of the page of all the Thruster user Group threads.

Hi Alan

 

From my point of view pictures of your rig are just what I want, or any other thrusters pics I am rebuilding a T500 and have little material to refer to .

 

just the interior of the pod layout, instrument panel, battery location up front , trolley jack under passengers seat!!! was all great . more please.

 

Thanks .........FLY

Hi Thruster 87,

 

Having aircraft mods/innovations in specific aircraft type segments sounds great....

 

Care to post re. your new disc brake setup....where, how, cost/benefits

 

etc.?...are threse the ones recently advertised in the Pacific Flyer ?

 

Incidently, what type of tyres are you using ?

 

Thanks in anticipation

Howdy, I used Hayes HD hydraulic disc brakes[cost $225.00 ]but had to change one line as it was only 90cm long [front brake] to 125cm cost $20.00 exchange/fitted/not bled at local bike shop. The 203mm Rotors plus adapters sold on eBay for $90.00 as I made my own 160mm Dia out of 2mm cr mo.Tires are Kings 15.00 x 6.00 2 ply supplied by Steve Vette when he was still in Qld.Looking forward to now putting a NEW 503 on in the next couple of weeks about $5200.00 with B box. Then I'll do the brake testing [seems OK on the jacks]. Cheers
