It was a nice day with 60 mile vis. Who's Europa was it to the ESE of Colerne at 12:18 UTC (2 Jan '23)? It was the first time that Skyecho has given me a meaningful traffic alert, although nothing re
I'd not seen before the clip on the servo arm; there was an earlier Factory 'fix' of Loctited replacement screws. Later servos have a stud and pinned locknut instead (I guess the stud is held in only
With a failed pin, there would now be no shear connection between the servo hub and the arm other than friction. So, given enough torque it will slip, and it must have slipped at some point otherwise
Attached is a calculation of the shear pin strength and the basis to LAA ag reeing to a stronger (steel) pin. Correspondence justifying the steel is no t to hand , although I have the LAA letter refe
The asymmetry of the flap operating (cross) tube means that the flaps will be asymmetrical. Unless they are configured to come up hard against some flap stops (in which case a degree or so of range i

There should be a detectable change (small increase) to EGTs if dense air is causing the engine to run lean. Or small decreases if carb ice is the culprit. I've had a recent engine change and find th
The downward curvature of the canopy prevents sitting close to the door and forces the occupant towards the centreline of the aircraft. So, providing hip space in the centre tunnel is more effective

The backup circuit is the fuel sight-gauge vent (if you have one fitted). Which comes with a warning system (i.e. fuel gauge contents will read zero if the tank vent blocks up!). Duncan McF. nests in
