SibWings

Since the ASI in the Swedish variants of the Sib WingsLab Safir reads "AIRSPEED" i thought I should show what is written on the ASI in real life.
"FART" can at least be related to airspeed in some sense.....

Another simple answer:
There was no possibility whatsoever to cage the gyros in the Finnish Safirs since they were of a compeletely different design.......

Just kidding
Use the same method as in the B model and you will be just fine

Best regards,

Not even real world Safir pilots like myself are qualified for beta-testing.
Don't have any high hopes boys !

May your hair never lose its colour as you grow older and wiser !

Congratulations !!!!!!

Sjoerd,
I don't know anything about dates yet, but as soon as I hear anything about it I will post it here.

Best regards,

Excellent Pelle !

Gentlemen, Thank you for your kind comments! SGTMAJOR, I'm sure many of us would like to go to sunny California for a metting there. Did you know yhat a Safir flew non-stop from Stockholm in Sweden to Addis Abeba in Ethiopia a distance of 3200 nm. The flight took 30 hours and 52 minutes. The TOW was...

Pelle, I'm glad you made it back home safely. It's really impressive that you managed to get home and upload your pics so fast! It seems that you had a beautiful trip back home. It's true that I only drank water yesterday :cry: but I hope I can compensate that mistake at the next meeting ;-) Best re...

On Friday May 4 the Safirs started to drop in at Gothenburg City Airport. Th airport itself is an old air force base built during WW2. Due to mist and low clouds a lot of the participants didn't arrive until Saturday. In total 18 Safirs visited the meeting. There should have been 22 in total but due...

I will do my best to provide some photos if I don't forget my camera at home.

SuredT,

There will be more Safir meetings so I'm sure you will be able to participate in the future.

Best regards,

I'll be there !

You will recognize me by my baby blue cap with "SAAB 91" written all over it.

Here's a couple of other links that might be of interest:

The second link gives some information about markings.

50085, or 91.400 is probably the Safir that is most known to the Swedish public. It was used for aerobatic displays for many years in both F6-75 and F5 (5 markings. The displays were performed by Alf Ingesson-Thor, one of those pilots who have the little extra that we others can only dream of. He fl...

Here's another interesting link, only in Swedish though. http://www.lasf5.nu/ Click on 'Våra Flygplan' and SE-LAP and you will see some further pics Click on 'Bildarkiv' and you can find 50085 marked as 85 in the pics. The aircraft marked as 75 on this page is 50075, a Safir 91B with serial number 9...

I will try to sort things out a bit The Safir was called 91 by SAAB since it was their project number. All Safirs have a serialnumber from SAAB that starts with 91. 91.001, 91.002 and so on. The Swedish Air Force adopted their own serial numbers for the Safir which starts with '50' since the type wa...

:oops: :oops: :oops: You're right about the VOR ! My test flight was so short that I didn't realize that I was flying on the wrong radial. Maybe there's a earthing fault or something in the real HB-DBL, or at least we can pretend that there is one :) My DG works fine though. I like the Safir so much...

Hi Renato,

The 91C is a bit more difficult to repaint than the 91B.
Maybe you can get som help from this link : topic330.html

Maybe my repint of SE-EDD can be of some help. I'm still struggling with the textures on the fin of 91C SE-KYG
