The Oaks to YHOX 29th June 2006

[Guest Fred Bear]

Just a few pics folks from yesterdays flight in Jabiru 1817 out of The Oaks with David C at the controls this time. Brilliant flying too mate. Always good to hear the blades of grass before touch-down. We departed The Oaks and then tracked out to YHOX for a couple of touch-and go's.

May I ask, What is the big black thing in the first photo in front of the pilots head in front of the stall warning horn? Is that aircraft factory built? It seems to have no lining in it? Noisy?

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Noisy? Not as noisy as the Bantam:big_grin: Dave might be able to help you with the other questions as it is not the aircraft I fly.

 

 

[Guest David C]

There was definately nothing lurking up there when I did the pre flight check , so I guess it's just a shadow off the flash . The aircraft is factory built , but has undergone a lot of work and I guess the lining has never been replaced . I hasten to add it is not my aircraft , and it doesn't seem any noisier than any other Jab I have flown either .

Dave - I think Nosmo was referring to the thing that is in the red circle of this image:

a bloody big flap lever??:yuk:

 

 

[Guest David C]

Ha Ha , Yes I suppose it must be a flash reflection on the flap lever .

 

 

[Ultralights]

it looks like some sort of tank.

It's not a housing for an electric flap motor?

I have finally worked out what the object in the pic was after flying the Jabiru the other day. Because I was a fair way back when I took this pic I realised that it's the compass in the middle of the windscreen. It had us all baffled for a while.

Another one of those mysterys solved Darren ...... Whats a compsass ? .
