Engine 'missing' during flight, in very hot weather. I have a Rotax 912UL (TT: 350hrs) in my 912 Mark 1 , 'Classic'. I have a great deal of confidence in this engine. Although underpowered for the ai

I went flying today in a brisk crosswind. Can't complain too much about my landings, but an arrival issue did arise. Probably during the last touchdown (grass strip), at some point during the landing

The spinner wobble on the Mk 1 can be terrible and is difficult to correct. I agree with the idea that an aluminium one would be one route to a solution. More by luck, than judgment, mine is now sati

I don't know of anyone who admits to an unintentional 'gear up' landing, but there have been quite a number of occasions where the landing gear has retracted on touchdown. On the majority of these it

Interesting and practical Barry, In my personal experience, I've found a far more pressing limitation to endurance. The solution is generally found in the application of a rather primitive but effect

Hi Roddy, I have to concur with any proposed modification to the position of the standard sight guage. In my aircraft, put simply, it doesn't work and is completely useless. Readings are erratic. Oft
