thank to everyone for the beautifull works

Actually you ARE WRONG.
:!:

No BF-109 had giyro sight installed. Not even for testing.
If you look at the pics in the EZ-42 thread you'll realize that EZ-42 was just too big and bulky for the small BF-109 pit. I read somwhere that only the glass piece in the EZ42 was around 40 Kg's!
So no , I hope no one installs it in the 109 for you just because some spits have it.


This is really getting ridiculous. "hey how come the other guy has mirrors and i don't have, Hey i want to see through my armor plate".

Back then some planes had advantage over others. Some had cool gagets installed some didn't, Some had better visibility then other. Keep it that way.

Jaws it was nowhere near 40Kg !! here are the weights for the entire EZ42 system:

Weights:
Reflector sight with mounting ... approx. 3.0 kg
Adjustment box ... approx. 0.5kg
Range Measuring Handle ... approx. 0.2 kg
Mounting plate with two lead indicators, amplifier and electrics box ... approx. 5.5 kg
2 GDU 30 G ... approx. 4.4 kg
Entire sight device ... approx. 14.0 kg
