ksgy Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hey, I found this instrument on one of my pics about L-410 - which was mostly commuted between Hungary and Romania, some day Bulgaria. Do you have any idea what instrument could this be?Based on words I figured out via google translate maybe a celestial navigation system, on kinda. Thanks in advance!

ryancz Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 First thought is Russian INS.Can you share what the works are? I can't translate then, let alone type them into Google translate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgy Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Could be, but based on these words seem like more something else: KOHTP = guide"B3N MACCA" = earth weightAEHb / HoyB (right next to the red light): up: daylight, down: night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin S Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Perhaps some sort of barometric instrument? Actually, the "expert" settings in X-Plane where you could set the constants for earth (such as planetary mass), but in real life... the Soviets were way ahead of their time. From the number of digits, possibly altimeter of some sort which measures the pressure of the atmosphere on mars and divides it by the weight of the earth and blows up seagulls to eat pudding or something... that's as far as I got. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancz Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 The daylight/night is probably for brightness. Earth weight? That's weird.I wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin S Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 The daylight/night is probably for brightness.Earth weight? That's weird.I wonder... The communists actually had a secret weapon that was hitherto unknown. They could control the weight of the planet from a civilian airliner. Special, huh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryancz Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 KONTR is "guide"I was literally just about to write the translation on the picture. Just like that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgy Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 KONTR yes means "guide" by translation, but I think means "control stg" like "control lamp" (second from left) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryancz Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Hmm, that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksgy Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Found: it's a Flight Data Recorder - you can set weight, date, etc. Admins: can you mark this topic solved / closed please? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
