BO208 Junior

Now I’m 1/4 owner of BO208 G-ATVX. After two returns due to weather on Wednesday, I flew her from North Coates to Fishburn and on to her new home hangared at EGPE Inverness on Thursday. Only problem was the radio, non-8.33, so I had to use my handheld, and was unable to contact anyone for most of the first leg. Total 3.82 tach hours.
No problems with the fitted radio once able to use it.
We’re all very happy with her. We’re fitting an 8.33. She’s on a UK LAA Permit.
Unfortunately on my first approach and landing, after turning back due to weather deterioration, I pushed the flap indicator instead of the switch, and bent it. Low cloud, mist, talking to military range control as I turned a very short final. It was a good landing however. That first flight lasted 0.28 tach hours.

Very cool! Your mention of inadvertently bending the flap indicator prompts me to post a link to the spare parts list at Flugwerft Steinle, who seem to hold more parts that anybody else.

If you have the parts book you can figure out the part number for whatever you may need, to check if they have it. Ersatzteile means spare parts, Lagerliste means stock list.

Lots of old photos here

Thanks!
I’ve seen pics of Juniors with a landing light. Has anyone anywhere flown one, (legally) at night?

THANKS!
