This is a slightly simplified explanation and stand to be corrected as only a humble PPL(H)
P.S. there are many examples in nature where two balls seem appropriate!

Eldon - that's a beautiful portrait of the B2.
Stumbled on these shots over the weekend - one for the Robbie drivers on the forum, to compensate for the usual stick from the turbine guys...

Awesome piece of kit. I guess when they have finished with it it would be a great Instrument trainer...

What's it like flying the old Schweizer with the wheels on?
(Slow and wobbly, i am reliably informed like most H269's.....hmmm)

As I understand it the turn and slip indicator are to different observations. The ball (slip) indicates where the gravitational force is acting on the aircraft (including an acceleration forces). The turn indicator shows the rate of turn irrespective of aircraft attitude and generated by its own giro. The artificial horizon does exactly as it says, a representation of where the horizon is in relation to the aircraft. The photograph shows the aircraft banking to the right (artificial horizon) and turning to the right (turn indicator) the ball is slightly off centre which is probably due to the aircraft tending to fly slightly less skid low when the tell-tales are indicating a coordinated turn.
Those of you who have let the balance ball stray to one side of the glass or the other during a turn - raise your thumbs!

Lift job in San Jacinto, California
41 air conditioning units onto the roof of a new Walmart.
3000lbs in the air.
Time to get the water truck out....
Back on the trailer.
A delicate job getting back on the bed though.
The sides pull out and we put down boards about 2 feet wide to give a helping hand. She's tied down and ready to go home.
