    GPS and Radio on T83

    in Thruster

    Posted

    Allan,

     

    I modded my instrument panel recently cos as you said, there's not much room.

     

    I mounted the ASI, ALT and ignition switches on a small panel above the pod coaming and made a central vertical panel with a Stratomaster E.M.S., voltmeter, start switch and fuses. I mounted my handheld Icom on the r/h forward A frame tube and I was thinking of doing the same on the left with my GPS.

     

    Regards,

    My only problem with the late arrival, is that if you are keeping an eye out for a second hand aircraft, the chances are if it is a bargain it will be gone by the time you get the mag halfway through the month.

     

    Surely as members we should be getting it earlier or at least the same time as the general public. Not 2-3 weeks later.

    Airbourne,

     

    That is the only one in Oz and it is/was ? based at Penfield Victoria. The reason I say is/was, is that I haven't seen it out there for a whilst. I saw it when it first arrived and it's a very impressive looking machine.

     

    If you give Airsports at Penfield a call on 94312131 they can probably put you in touch with the owner or give you some info on it.

     

     

    Book

    in Thruster

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    I was told about a book that was written a few years ago about some guys exploits in a Thruster. I think he was UK based, and was promised it was a great read.

     

    At the time I wrote the title and auther down, but it apears to have been misplaced.

     

    Any help greatly appreciated.

     

    Regards,

    Ian,

     

    They look very much like the temporary hangers at Penfield. I think there are about 6 there and having spoken to a few of the tennants/owners, all reckon they hold up to the wind/weather quite well. I think they have been on site for about 5 or so years. Maybe you should drop in and have a poke around. No idea what they paid, came from some mob in Sydney. Someone out there should be able to help you out.

     

    Let us know how you go, I'd be interested to find out the price myself.(yours as well as theirs)

     

    Regards,

    The main reason I asked the question was that my local car part shop won't stock them and will only order them in when I request them. On top of that it takes 3-4 days to get them in! He was telling me the Bosch WR4CC'S are an alternate according to his cross reference book, and he actually stocks them.

     

    I am just a bit dubious deviating from the manual. If all else fails I guess I'll buy a box and hopefully remember to order them when I use the last ones.
