Yes John Scott at Cambridge engineered mine and John Brownlow was very happy with the result as was my inspector Barry Castle, We actually used a pair of slightly smaller bore master cylinders to giv
I had exactly this problem after moving my door struts as per Tony K's. I could just close the door but the idea of the rear shot bolt not quite engaging persuaded me to fit a small pull on the insid
Very true. When the interior of my 912S silencer collapsed it was only the very high EGT that flashed up on my EIS (Brilliant) that stopped me damaging the engine. I would be reluctant to fly without
Replying to Graham & Tony I had a progressive loss of power over a period of about 20 flying hours. --From 40 odd hours from new. Initially I had fewer revs on the take off run and leaner plugs parti

Hi All Weather looks OK for tomorrow (Friday) lunch time 11:30 or 12 ish. Thruxton request PPR on 01264 772352. The chef at the Jackaroo cafe is apparently not to well so lunch may not be possible. R
Hi All Well, G-RIKS and I had a great trip to Thruxton today. Slightly blustery but the chef produced great bacon butties. Perhaps someone else has ideas for next week? All the best. Rick Morris G-RI

Hi All Four Europas plus passengers made it for lunch at Thruxton. Very nice restaurant and helpful AT. So thanks to William, Paddy and Kim and Dunce and Dave. Consensus suggested Tottenham for midwe
Wow what a slip (my being a Spurs season ticket holder!). Hope to see you at Tattenham. I think this all the fault of my AOL spell checker that thinks Duncan is Dunce and having 'learnt' Tottenham re
