Nice Ash 26E panel. Does it belong to someone here?



It's an incredible amount of instruments in a panel that size. My 26E

panel is not as cleverly laid out.

Oh geez, anohter typical motorglider **** with a stuffed panel... Oh wait, that's mine.

Yes it is my ASH-26E panel, a photo from a few years ago taken in the Kanab Utah area when when flying from Parowan down to the Grand Canyon. I'd just had the '26 for a short while and this was the first trip to Utah with it. Climbing up through 13,000', vario around 9-10 knots, averager at 7.5, a pretty weak Utah thermal...

The 26E panel is a bit funky to lay things out on, I really wanted the full size altimeter, ASI, etc. and things are really crowded as a result. Several other owners have similar layout.

The Trutrak is in the panel because of prior experiences running into smoke in the Parowan Area in my DG-303. And I've flown one contest with the ASH-26E where the T&B was disabled/inop to the CD's satisfaction. I'm not even sure why it is switched on in this photo.

Not that its a big thing, but this is the second time this photo has been used publicly by others without asking me, it is not in the public domain. And I'm not sure I'd use that photo to help portray what gliding is about.
