Knock-Knock Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I already posted it down in a Military and Aviation thread, but figured it would feel right at home here too, so we can sit and pretend we are flying it :).

drPhibes Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Part no. 8F-0101651-01 is expired. I wouldn't have expected that in a Swiss AF plane :P Or the picture(s) may have been taken 4+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuiGon Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 That's really cool! Thanks for sharing.

Manuel_108 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Anyone else noticed how the ADI is upside down? I wish Belsimtek would simulate that but they never care :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomdeplume Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Anyone else noticed how the ADI is upside down? I wish Belsimtek would simulate that but they never care Why is it upside down? And why we never care? I think they're referring to the way some countries seem to use a dark area to indicate 'above the horizon' (sky) on the ADI while the light area indicates 'below the horizon' (ground). As opposed to the US (and lots of others) that use a light colour (usually blue) to indicate the area above the horizon and a dark colour (usually brown) below it. This aircraft is obviously quite a bit upgraded and modified compared to the F-5E-3 - radio panels in the centre (+ VHF radio), and the right panel seems to house some kind of navigation system so presumably it has an INS and/or GPS. So I'm not sure why Manuel would assume "our" ADI should be the same as the one in that aircraft. Or maybe they just want it as an option for some reason? Going a bit off topic, but I found this post which has a picture of the modernized Brazillian F-5EM glass cockpit, with a pic of the original cockpit below it. Pretty neat.

Manuel_108 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Oops. Sorry Belsimtek, I didn't look closely enough. Haven't seen such a weird ADI until now, looks counter intuitive. Me saying that you don't care was due to a feature which I think is missing from the Huey module. While the real ADI "drifts off" after shutdown and wiggles itself into position after energizing, yours seems to be perfectly still when starting from cold and dark so I gathered that it would be the same on the F-5E, as seen in the preview video. My bad, let's wait and see. Edited July 6, 2016 by Manuel_108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because the back-up ADI is "correct", but is in the exact opposite position from the main ADI. Frisco1522 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel_108 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 You're right! Now that's confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomdeplume Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Well, both the primary and standby ADI are off/inoperative, so I'm not sure how much should be read into them. The stranger part to me is the lack of visible pitch markings on the primary ADI, but maybe they become visible when it's uncaged? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook47 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 If other countries do indeed flip the colors of the ADI that could get really ugly for a western pilot in IFR! LOL. That being said I think the ADI may have just tumbled upside down with the gyro being off and no power applied to avionics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomdeplume Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 If other countries do indeed flip the colors of the ADI that could get really ugly for a western pilot in IFR! LOL. Worked out where I'd seen it - the MiG-15 actually has this! Since we're pretty off-topic already I don't want to embed a video and can't work how to link to YouTube without it embedding, but if you search YouTube for "MiG-15 takeoff from Runway 2, KSAF, NM, USA" you'll see someone running through the startup checklist and taking off in a MiG-15. ADI is brown above horizon and blue below it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bC3660 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Why is it upside down? And why we never care? If you look you can see the red flag is out. That means it is not powered right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
