Ron Hoey Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi all, I am fitting an extra (necessary) instrument to my panel and, as there is no other space available, I have elected to take the slip ball out of the 2.25 inch hole and insert the new instrument there-in. This leaves me with a problem, as I consider the slip ball as a necessary instrument. I have heard of a small stick-on or screw-on slip ball but have not been able to source one on the net. Can anybody lead me in the right direction? Many thanks, Blue skies, Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Ron, Aircraft Spruce & Speciality sell a small slip indicator. From memory, they are under $50, but check for yourself. I reckon it would be something Ian's shop would sell. My shop doesn't. Old Man Emu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 really just a left -right pendulum. The seat of your pants will give you something of the same indication. Having said that it is still one of the most basic indications to the pilot. . If you want to precisely assess the balance of your aircraft , then it is essential.
