A small group of Europas intend to fly over to France for a few days at the end of September. If the weather is OK, it would be just the sort of visit to make your first channel crossing. If you woul

Hello David, I have replaced as much of the rubber filler hose as possible with 2" dia 16 SWG aluminium tube. Only the elbows and sleeve to the tank remains in rubber and the smell has vanished. Best

Hello again David, It is quite easy to make your own device. Take a nylon "Body Shop" bottle, about 4" to 6" long (your wife might have one) Cut a suitable size hole in the side near to the bottom, l

At the low end of the radio frequency range; 118.000 to about 121.000, I hear loud clicks in time with my anti-collision strobe, which, if tuned for any length of time, is a bit like the Chinese wate

Sorry, Roger and all. I am afraid I was inadvertently misled by someone at the CAA. Apparently their service to Certified A/C owners does not extend to Permit A/C owners, so they will not be sending

Nigel, I have been trying to design a light-weight, clip-on bracket to fit the mono U/C fork web, so that it could be carried at all times in the A/C in case of a puncture. Most airfields could proba

Hi Steve, Looks like I have missed the boat. I am no good at fiddly electronics but I would like to make up one of these trims. I am in the UK and I note Graham has ordered a couple. If I put a note
