Hi all;

Well Roger Kent in the UK has none.  Anybody?  Any ideas?  I know I can get by with the pitot tube for awhile.  I guess my other -55 and the Suk spoiled me. How am I 'sposed to know when I'm inverted, anyway? :0)  Head hair cut too short...

Thanks, Rick b

Check the angle of your dangle! Hang a nut on a string from the canopy bow. If it is lying on the top of the canopy, you are inverted.

I might be willing to part with one.  I have two, one on each wing.  I  

have always used the pitot on the left as the sole sight reference  

also.  I bought two with the intention of putting one on the left and  

selling the other one.  I was talked into putting both on the plane.   

I want to fly with both into this spring, then decide if I ever need  

to look to the right.  Sergei teaches sight pictures straight ahead or  

to the left only so that is what I am used to.



They would be easy to make if you can weld.  I would be happy at the  

least to ship you one next fall to use as a template, I might try to  

weld one up, and I can always take detailed photos if you want.

Hi Rick,



If you don't have a short timeframe, when I get a chance, I can weld you one up using mine as a template.
