😀 That´s great! In german there´s only one word for both meanings.
Don´t expect any eggs coming 😉 .

Hello friends
After breeding over the pilot notes I now found out, that the panel of the pilot notes was originally of a Mk VII (see picture and mind the cutouts and holes, which some of them are filled with blind plates at the Mk XIV pilot notes). Adapted to Mk XIV standard 😮 .
It´s like the panel of the pilot notes Mk IX. They adapted a panel of an early Mk V. It was quite different to the planes of the production line.
So I decided to go for a replica taken from the drawing 37934-1-G.
So no Voltmeter necessary. Thanks anyway for your great help!
Cheers,
Herbert
Ahh, great, thanks! 🙂
Well, and about 25 of these 4BA countersunk (about 3mm)
Herbert 😮
Thanks! That helps.
Actually I would need about 50 of these 2BA (about 4mm)
Maybe someone could help out?
Thanks and kind regards,
Herbert
Well, it had it´s longer tailwheel leg to improve ground handling (better sight,…).
That idea came quite late :confused:
Cheers, Herbert
Well, however I´ll be correct when I´ll mount the 20V meter (5A/1636 as one plan says).
Thanks your answers.
Regards,
Herbert
That´s great, Keith!
I didn´t have a picture of that one and it´s nice to see a 20V Voltmeter.
Interesting also the cutout, that was once for a Mk VIII oxygen regulator filled with a Mk XI and an adapter plate.
Cheers,
Herbert
Congratulations, Peter!
Was the panel delivered from someone, or did you produce your own?
Cheers,
Herbert
I guess, the drawing with the two fuel gauges might be a FR XIV.
Herbert
Ahhhhhhhh, yes!, great!, more!, wow! 😮
Thanks Allan! 🙂
Hmm… there´s somehow a gunsight dimmer but no socket.
No camera control box. Not easy to identify.
Cheers,
Herbert
Ahhh, that´s nice, thanks Allan!
Well, I guess, they took the drawing from the pilot notes. The same layout.
The Mk VIII oxy don´t really surprise me, cause early Mk XIV seemed to include them (see picture of a Mk XIV in Bruessel – a version without Voltmeter).
By the way, if one of you would have a picture of a Mk XIV panel I´d really enjoy it.
Kind regards,
Herbert
Thanks a lot for your help!
So it might be a Voltmeter 5A/1636 (20V) with the needle strangely in the middle, or an ampmeter.
But I have to confess, I have no Spit panel plan refering to an ampmeter on that place.
I´m not an expert, but I´d guess, that if you would switch the electric systems on without engine running, the tacho would show zero RPM.
All the best,
Herbert 🙂
Thanks for the fast replies.
Does that mean, I´d need a Voltmeter going from -20V to plus 20V?
