Re: EZ 42 in FW 190

The C/12D uses a mount bracket approx. 7mm thick.

Don't see the EZ42 attaching directly to the instrument panel. No attach points for something that weighs 2.5kg. Even with the front of the EZ42 up against the instrument panel you would still be about 4cm closer to pilot.

There is also a difference in distance from pilot to instrument panel between the 109, 190 and 262. As an extreme example look at the Hs-129, had to mount C/12D outside, forward of the windscreen.

I'm still stcking with it just wasn't a practical set-up in 109's. I just haven't seen any evidence that they were used in 109's. I'm sure at some point alot of different sights were installed at an experimental trail and fit level.

I'm open to learn more. Please show me a pic, pilot report or any documentation that EZ42's were used in 109's.

Regards,
Mike
