Altimeter to borrow (Pretoria area)?

Hi all,

I need to sort out the static problems on my plane. I have installed another 3 static points for testing, but it would be a great help if I could hook up separate altimeters to one or two at the same time.

Does anybody perhaps have a (temporarily) unused altimeter that I can borrow for the weekend?

Thanks,
Justin

Hi Justin,

I have a fairly old Smiths alt. that you can use for testing.

Let me know if it will work, will then bring it to Rhino on Saturday.

Greetings

Thanks Lowtjie. It may help, but I probably need a two needle altimeter for accurate comparison. I will let you know.

How is your plane going?

Justin, there are two needles, actually three :) :) will bring it along so you can check/ see if you can use it.

Been on leave so not much happening on the plane.

See you Saturday at Rhino

Excellent, thanks. Googled the Smith's altimeter, and only found pics of a single needle version :oops: . Would really appreciate it if you could bring it along on Saturday.

Thanks,
Justin

Ok will do, see if you can get another one as well because i don't know if this one is in working condition or not. It's a spare
that i want to use in the Teenie two.
