Two over Spain

[Nemesis]

A few happy snaps of Algernon and myself messing about over mid Spain. Somewhere between Madrid and Cordoba to be exact. Algernon in his trusty Cat and me in my fav sports flying ride, the Grob G115. Inspite of me suffering a flaps malfunction, we both managed to land safely at Cordoba....

I'm currently on a trip to Africa and this was just the latest leg of that trip. Algernon sometimes joins me for certain legs of the journey to make sure I'm getting my regular ration of tea n muffins.





Algernon doing a great job of holding position off my starboard wing


Peeling off to set up his approach for landing, doing his best to catch me in his prop wash.... he's like that, ya know.

Fantastic shots, sir, as promised

Tks matey. In future I gotta remember to get rid of all the guff on screen such as the chat box and GPS b4 I take pics.

BTW, is that super sexy FGUK logo in your sig for public consumption? I'd luv to put that, or summin similar if that's your personal tag, in my sig on the FG forum. It's a great way to advertise the club.

Just something I knocked up a moment ago, and am playing with - tried to get it into my FG Forums signature, but to no avail. But it's available for all to use here.

Cracking pics, I've not flown the grob in FG yet, got any shots of the panel? is it functional?

Thanks for sharing your sig logo, Algernon. yer a star

I don't have a pic of the panel right now but I'll take one and post it the next time I'm in. It IS fully functional, though. Even down to the dimmer knobs for the instrument and panel lights. It's a very nice aircraft all round, mate.

Oh I just remembered. there IS one thing not working and that's the landing lights. The switch is there for it but the landing light(s) don't come on.

Here's the promised pic of the Grob's instrument panel. As you can see, it ain't too shabby

[Algernon]

Wow, that is good - even down to the Austin Metro heater controls at the bottom left!!

Nay worries, that is the spirit of Open Source (sort of, hehehe). In kind, I've "borrowed" your style of having a latin motto.

[Avionyx]

Not too bad at all! pretty good as far as FG goes anyway

Luv the new sig. To begin with i thought it was summin along the lines of "You can see the pub from here" but a quick google cleared that up for me, lol.
