Mini U2 test pilots Dave It sounds as though either your trim is not correct or the CG is too far forward. I would stick with holding the tail down and let it go forward smoothly exactly as Joim Nels

There is a difference between the Rotax company mounts and the Europa company mounts, both dimensionally and hardness. The Europa ones are certainly too stiff, isn't there a factory mod to rectify t

Hi All first before I forget, thanks for the fantastic hospitality Joan & I received down under. We had a wonderful month in the sun & fun of NZ and Oz. I even got to sit in the RH seat of 3 super E

Kingsley Hurst Kingsley, IMHO you are right. The only thing I would add is that with the Eruopa, drag in this situation, skidding and trading velocity energy for potential energy, (flaring to fly le

Paul, You might also look at the Grand Rapids EFIS. They are a company I have known for years and come to trust and the price looks good for a less complicated system. Tell Hugh to look for them at

The 914 is different, it uses rotary fuel pumps which delivery far more fuel than the engine requires. This is the reason the 914 needs a bigger return pipe dia than the 912s. 912s have a mechanical

Dan, In the early days we had to shorten the two plastic fork ends by about 3mm, 1/8" to avoid this problem. The brass screwed rod was also shortened and the forks were butted together end to end. i

Ron, It won't go quiet. Unless of course the carbs clog up too. If muck gets this far downstream maybe they will. The 914 does not and cannot have a restrictor, it's a fuel injection system with a p

I had a similar worry but mine was that the Teflon would creep with age and the clamping pressure might reduce. Does Teflon have any elasticity? Graham --

Simon The PV50 absorbs the power less harshly than the Warp Drive blades. More inherent damping in the layups I think, they aren't solid graphite like the latter, they have graphite torsion layups b

I think that the problem may well be static charge generated when fuel flows through a non conducting pipe. First it flows down the PE filler moulding, then the moulded rubber section, (that may? co

Trouble with Diesel, or more particularly Avtur, is that the fuel air mixture in the tank may well be explosive whereas with Mogas and Avgas the mixture is too rich to ignite. It is thought by some
