Steve I might add you can have your letters laser cut too, I had mine done with one side leaning forward and the otherside leaning back to match the sweep back of the fin. Bolt upright letters don't

David Is it a capacitive sensor? If so if there's any water around it will read full scale. Graham it's a while since I saw your aircraft -- Graham Singleton Tel: +441629820187 Mob: +447739582005

Tom you were obviously very well trained, I would love to have flown a DC3, a most admirable airplane. You will however need to be very quick on the pedals with the Europa. It's not like a long wing

kind thought Kevin, but no it was an XS tailwheel. I had 150 hours on the old tailwheel and never groundlooped it. Did a fair bit of bouncing though. Graham

Hi Glenn I'm never wrong but I'm not always right ?;-) That particular Classic (with XS tailwheel) was not particularly good, I must admit but I have found that they are all different, sometimes surp

Paul I doubt there is any difference other than flow rate, even marine ones aren't designed to run on or in sea water. Probably just a matter of certification. In other words protection money for bur

Bpb Rough River is where the canard boys, (me too) go in early October. That event is a real buzz and that's what I suspect Paul is trying to achieve for the Europa family. It's a super venue and onc

Flowscan transducers use infra red sensing of the rotor speed so are not susceptible to magnetic interference. Some transducers use magnetic sensing and can be affected by the Rotax alternator. Graha

Ron & all DPLF or os ot DP40 in UK? is good stuff, however one other thing to remember is that you must NOT sand it. It will become permeable if you do. AS I understand it it's designed to be a very

Ron's plan sounds good to me, I don't have much faith in etch primer over zinc plated steel. Could be wrong though, it might bond. Will it etch zinc? Graham

Steven As you've realized, torso height is the issue here. You can aleviate this by sitting with your butt further forward and knees higher. I once modded an XS for a guy who was 6'5, I extended the

Jos the pressure on the flaps doen't cause any tendency to retract, it acts straight up the support brackets and through the pivot bolts. In flight you should be able to put the flaps anywhere from n

David My conclusions are the same. The snap effect on the overcentre is dependant on the amount of overcentre, IOW if there is no overcentre there will be no tendency for it to flick undercentre when

William imho its the legs, and its a tension strut btw. At very high angles of attack the load pulls the wings forward. I found that hard to believe too but it's true. It was first realized when an e

All has anyone managed to cool a Jab 3300 properly yet? I know a couple who haven't but it can only be a matter of persuading the cooling air to go through the fins I suspect? Graham
