If the talk off core avionic computers and composites is to be believed the HAL MKI will cost a bit more than the IAPO MKI. Note the only real savings would be in labor costs not really in the components. [/B]

Labor alone isnt the only factor. Defence corps have huge margins and that is what will be saved by making it at home.

If I remember correctly, it is around 22-25 million for home grown stuff.

Scrap em I say.. Be done with it.. find replacements at whatever cost. 21 has served well, but its time to say goodbye.

Monday 11 AM to thrusday 4.00 PM 🙂

Only other tips I can give are to fill the frame as much as possible – don’t shoot a photo of an aircraft if it’s a tiny dot in the frame, or it’s a long long way away. When an aircraft is moving, tuck your arms into your body and follow the subject by moving your hips, and use two hands to hold and support the camera to keep it steady.

No tripod or monopod ?

I say drop the assemble/manufacture bit at home unless its working out real cheap. Buy 24 and be done with it.. Get all the ground infrastructure and get things rolling..

Arthur,

What kind of arrangement did mainstay have ?

Did they have consoles and hardware interspersed with each other ?

Or did they have consoles at one end and lotsa hardware either front or back ?

Did it have enough room to wiggle around different pieces of euipment to get to it ?
