Great Ozzie

Base it on your airspeed e.g. groundspeed (airspeed close enough unless in some brutal winds) is 120kts = 2nm/min... if flying 9000' and Pattern Altitude is 1000'... 8000' to lose. I would steepen it up a bit... 7-800fpm. So about 11-12 mins (22-24nm) out start the descent to be at or slightly above Pattern Altitude shortly before entry.

A possible OZx stand-in. Ant's Tiger Moth would be a very nice one as well. Stag Lane is "gone" and Hatfield (EGTH - where de Havilland AC later moved to) is filled with houses... I found nearby Panshanger (EGLG) a nice turf strip... AMY ready to go...

Great! I should have trimmed down some more as to not waste too much of folks time... but hard for me to do. Cera Sim Bell 212 OZx HMLA-267 paint by jeansy

Gathered most of my pics from pre-race practice till yesterday's round-robin from FACT... SmugMug Slideshow Link

I thought I read somewhere (years ago) he named it after his girlfriend... Make sure you click the pic otherwise you'll be wondering "what participants?" too.

It's been quite some time since this came up (I too thought the 2d Hdg Ind had a hdg bug). You can either build/download a sub panel or the following will work: First make a backup of you DHC2 panel.cfg Substitute another gauge for the DHC2 Hdg Ind in the 2d panel. I have in mine the C172 Hdg Ind. //gauge07=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!dg, 329,640 gauge07=Cessna!Heading_Indicator, 332,637,118,116 The // will rem out (remark) the DHC2 gauge... and shows what was there for future reference. So that section of the panel.cfg will look like this: ---------------------------- [Window00] file_1024=beaver_small_background.bmp file_1024_night=beaver_small_background_night.bmp size_mm=1024 position=7 visible=1 ident=MAIN_PANEL gauge00=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!suction, 124,548 gauge01=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!asi, 214,505 gauge02=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!attitude, 341,504 gauge03=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!altimeter, 464,504 gauge04=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!glideslope_vor, 584,504 gauge05=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!clock, 123,662 gauge06=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!turn_bank, 216,640 //gauge07=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!dg, 329,640 gauge07=Cessna!Heading_Indicator, 332,637,118,116 gauge08=DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2!vsi, 462,640 ---------------------------- That will give you a Heading Bug in the 2d panel.

Stan... Have you tried the old "trick" of loading up a flight with the default C172 - then once loaded (and running) on the runway, switch to the aircraft you want?
