David, Airworld strobe stuff was supplied by Kuntzleman: http://www.kestrobes.com/ Duncan. --Original Message-- Subj: Europa-List: Strobe wiring? I am down to almost the last wire from my old fuselag
5 knots at cruise is about the same as I can report without wheel fairings (mine is a taildragger with similar 500x5 wheels). And is also about what RV pilots have noted (6" wheels). However, both on
John, Please define "..good surface finish and polish"! I tried that before (using a micromesh kit) starting from the status of a mediocre (cf Renault?) automotive finish, and it made no difference a
David, The AH capacity of the LiPo4 batteries supplied as like-for-like replacements of lead acid batteries is very much reduced (despite higher voltage and higher CCA). One reason they are so light
Can't find anything in the NACA library, except:http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/reports/1955/naca-rm-a55c30a.pdfwhich applies to swept wings.Logically, there may be an effect in reducing the span
The pale green colour gives away that the resin is probably Class 2 fire retardant (polyester), which is what I have believed it to be, having been told that by the company that made the Classic cowl
Maybe the attached would qualify as a fence.I made these years ago but never got around to fitting or flying them, not believing that three 1/8" lap hinge plates edge-on to the wind would create more

Was there any resolution as to why, after G-BYSA 'landed' in the North Sea coast and set-off its PLB, nobody ever came?I appreciate that most alerts ( particularly in a marine environment) are false

You might want to impregnate the exposed elements of the throttle cables with resin. This stiffens them and reduces the chances of buckling in compression when the throttle is opened more quickly tha
Ivor,What fuels have you been using predominantly and do you leave the tanks full (or at least the rubber connector internally submerged) between flights? Rgds.,Duncan McF. Hi David original pipe wit
Will,You don't say whether radial or axial 'slop'.Greasing the dried out bearings usually causes the Tufnol to expand in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the fabric, which would remove some
Rowland,Have you come across a version that allows calibration to the instr ument (rather than to true airspeed, which then needs fiddling back to see what the instrument should have been reading rel
Ivor,Will you be replacing with Viton lined stuff? The only affordable Viton (at that diameter) seems to be fluorosilicone lined silicone hose, which is not rated for permanent (internal) immersion,
Ruedi, Can you confirm the precise dimensions of the small alloy plate covering the tufnol of the comms antenna please, and the thickness of the tufnol. Rgds., Duncan McF. --Original Message-- Subj:
<<....The water temp was still too cold in the air. ..>> By what measure? Rotax don't publish a lower limit. So long as oil is up to temperature, low water temp should have no significance. The cylin
