G'Day All, I know my aircraft doesn't look like a Gazelle, but I'm an L2 and will be inspecting a Gazelle this weekend. Have been trying to track down a Maintenance Manual, and hoping someone here can help me. I note the comments about uploading a file. I just tried to use the "Upload a File" button on this window to upload a zipped copy of the Gazelle AD's, just to trial this feature. It crashed because the 6 Meg file was too big ;-( I've successfully used a web based file server for years now. Called www.sendthisfile.com For their basic service it is free. I've successfully used it to send files up to 50 Meg. Larger files slow it down, but they get there in the end. If one of the forum members could use it to send me a copy of the MM it would be hugely appreciated. Cheers The Doc ([email protected])

Thanks for the feedback kasper and facthunter. I understand about the forward facing pitot tube. This aircraft has a strange static set up that I have never seen before. The static line feeding the ASI comes out to a short tube projecting perpendicular to the fuselage side with the end filed off on an angle. Totally unknown to me after 40 years hanging around aircraft. Was hoping that someone may have seen one and could clue me in to the angle to be filed onto the end of the tube.

Does anyone have information about the correct angle on the tube that is used for static pressure sense for the ASI on a Sapphire? We need to repair one that has been accidently filed square!! ChiefWally
