I have been to one RR fly in from the UK. It was two years ago when the weather was not too good and hence not any Europas. I would love to come again but it has to fit in with our winter migration t
Hi Roland, My Trigear is every bit of 1000 mm from my kitchen table so it did not take long to measure it. OK U/C width including spats comes to 1.97 Mtr (8cm less without spats). Height to highest p
Re Spats and fitting before each flight. Not impossible but I suspect the novelty may wear off. It would take almost as long as rigging the aircraft itself. Fitting spats and flap arm fairings gives

Hi Robert, Your description nearly fulfils nose wheel shimmy. It is also far and away the most likely cause. One other obvious possibility, although you would probably have noticed this, is a flat ty
Hi Graham, I have fitted glider type sliding windows to my a/c. The ones I fitted were made by a Swiss company called Mecaplex. When I got them 7 or 8 years ago they cost something like 150 each. If
