Mike, I live in Southampton and use Marineware Ltd for all my composite supplies. I will be coming up to the Brandon Hall hotel for the Europa club bash on the 24th, so if you (or indeed anybody else
Gents, This problem was identified a long time ago (1999) and one enterprising Scandinavian builder came up with an elegant and well engineered solution (stand up and take a bow - Jens). Pictures bel
Peter, This is a well known problem with the older 4 way plug versions. Before you shell out for a new ignition unit, take a good look at the flying leads from the "black box" to the connector. The p
Peter, I have a few more suggestions before you reach for your cheque-book. First, check that the plugs are not breaking down by swapping over the plug lead pairs on each cylinder then restart the en
This has sparked an extremely interesting and thought provoking debate. The only real solution is to model the aircraft using Finite Element Analysis to truly see how the airframe moves under differi

Back in the mid '90s, early adopters experimented with heat wrap and claimed reduced noise and marginal performance improvements (subjective). This was followed by a rash of exhaust pipe fractures th

Looks like an elegant solution to well documented problem. The only potential problem I can see (and the LAA might object to) is that it uses an electic water pump and this makes it dependant on the
Frans, Don't forget that this mounting point was originally designed and stressed to mount the outrigger on the original mono-wheel. Consider if you will, the compressive shock loads imposed by an un

Graeme, See the attached photo for a good way to safety wire the exhaust springs. This is how the CSA Sport Cruiser boys do it. Nigel BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }
