Dec 24, 2021     Christmas Presents - (0.5 hour)       Category: Avionics
Received a package from Ray, just in time for Christmas. It included the second airspeed indicator and the missing manifold pressure gauge. Additionally, it included a French-English Aerospace Dictionary from 1973. This is a real treat because it properly translates the words that Google Translate doesn't quite work out.

For example, the term "Casque" on the instrument panel took me a while to figure out. Google translated it to "Helmet" but the more accurate term would be "Headset" which makes a lot more sense. Initially it wasn't quite so obvious since the original headset jack was only one plug, not the typical two plug system that is used today.
