Especially four engines DR.
Oh it does look like Maoriland Sinny, dont it?

[Joker 10]

Why are the knobs on the Throttle and propellor reversed, are all DH like this serrated knob on throttle Round knob on pitch control.

[Chimbu chuckles]

Throttle in the middle on a Beaver...or do you really think Beechcraft just unilaterally decided to do it that way with no precedent?

[Joker 10]

No the throttle in the middle is OK same on Daks, but the Throttle has the pitch knob and Pitch the throttle knob , make it hard if just operating by feel in a higher than normal pressure situation !! maybe only Kiwi's do this backwards.

[Mark1234]

Possibly a stuffup (LAME or otherwise - ref windows thread...) You'll note that in the original beaver pic (!) on the previous page, the throttle has a throttle knob, and the pitch a pitch knob.

[ciscodiscocisco]

?is that eric from scone aircraft maintenance in the pic? or is this at scone?? nev's place

[Horatio Leafblower]

Cisco

Yeah man... don't you recognise the Tat ... and the big head?

Not sure if he's on his way home from his walk or from Mardi Gras rehersal

[Peter Fanelli]

maybe only Kiwi's do this backwards.

Or should that be only kiwis do it from behind

[tinpis]

Nutha one?

[Peter Fanelli]

I see that one has the throttle to the left.

[notmyC150v2]

The GPS unit just looks wrong on that panel. Ruins it.

I know they are useful and helpful and if you are the mad doctor, downright essential. But here it just ruins the whole look.

[Hempy]

Peter, on closer inspection the whole panel is different. G-CMGD looks like it's had a refit somewhere along the line

[Joker 10]

But the knobs are on the right controls, maybe only the Kiwi's do it backwards

[tinpis]

Dunt matter, most kiwis that fly Beavers can't read anyway.

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

The GPS unit just looks wrong on that panel

Specially as they nicked some bits from a kid's Mecano set to make the mount for the 296!

[VH-XXX]

The 296 is the best instrument on that panel.

1 throttle, 1 set of pedals!

[Peter Fanelli]

Spoken like a true member of the Y generation.

I guess you'd be much more at home in something with a cockpit that looks like a Lexus, Cirrus perhaps.

As without a 50" widescreen monitor, it is hard to appreciate the beauty... I can only see about 2 gauges on screen at a time

[kingRB]

lol

come now hardcore, get a bigger monitor. I can at least see 3!

[Mark1234]

3 1/2, and a pink scrunchie thing. In a beaver. Hmm....
