Phil Perry Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Here's a couple more,. . read about the F-50s being retired somewhere in Australia,. . .I forget where I read that. . . something to do with the weight 20 tonnes, and that any operator using them would have to pay security charges at smaller airports making them non profitable,. . .sorry, I didn't read the full spiel. A friend once told me that this type is interesting to get used to on landing due to the slightly restricted forward view over the nose. . .the second pic below would possibly be very interesting in that case. Dunno, never sat in the front office on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Perry Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 3D garage stickers Mark,. . . a work associate of mine in Brisbane ( circa 1975 ) had a garage well down the side of his house, but the doorway was visilbe from the road. Pete was a silk screen printer by trade and an artist par excellence. . . .he had airbrushed his garage door so well that it really did look , from the road, like the rear end of a porsche, with the surroundings getting steadily darker in the background. Absolutely brilliant. It looks as if someone has adopted the idea. I wanted to do one of those in our fist house back in the UK with a similarly recessed garage but the missus wouldn't hear of it. . .her sense of humour does not align very well with mine. Anyway, the local council are always moaning at folks for doing stuff like that, can;t have something different or distinctive ! And woe betide anyone who puts up the Union Flag on their property.. . .TREASON ! Not allowed. ( Phil,. . .you're getting pollie again. . .)

willedoo Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's an interesting re-manufacture. I knew they were using the Honeywell turbo prop and modern avionics, but didn't realise the wings were to undergo such a transformation. Would be all metal, I guess. If I win the lotto, I'll buy one and we can take it for a spin, Phil. Cheers, Willie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wings, tailplane and vertical stab are all new and all composite.If you don't mind translating Czech into english more info here: http://ruslet.webnode.cz/technika/ruska-technika/letecka-technika/sibnia/tvs-2dt/ and its really a nice photo collection of them doing iterative development of part of the modification packages - seeing wings, tails and find change step by step down the page is interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
