Hello, I have a problem with a Terra 760D radio installed in my Europa, G-NEAT. The intercom feature works fine, radio reception is fine, but, people often (but not always) report my transmissions as
Troy, --From personal experience I would advise very strongly against purchasing a Terra radio. I tried for nearly two years to make one work satisfactorily and in the end ripped it out (along with a

Hi, Having just started the new year in grand style by dinging my prop, I would like to know how the 62" Arplast Ecoprop compares with the similar size Warp Drive prop that Europa supplies. I am not
Absolutely, but as a large proportion of the postings to the list are drivel it becomes rather tedious finding the nuggets of useful information. Don't patronise us please. I have read this list sinc
That's me. The day before yesterday, I was ground testing a Constant Speed Controller that I have developed for my PV-50 and guess what happened when I gave it the gun in fine pitch? Even with two pe
A few people have expressed an interest in the PV-50 constant speed controller project. I have therefore put together a simple web page that describes what I have done so far: http://www.ordern.demon

Hello Rotax operators, I am trying to find out the relationship between percentage power level, RPM and manifold pressure for the 912, 912S and 914. If anyone can help, please email me directly (to a

Would a kindly tri-gear owner please let me know what the outside width of the tri-gear's main undercarriage is. i.e. what is the minimimum width hole a tri-gear can be pushed through assuming the wi
Hello David, For no obvious reason my analogue tacho did exactly the same thing and I tried the "standard" fix of reversing the polarity of the wires from the pickup and the problem went away. I had
All good advice I'm sure but the swapping wires cure really works. It sounds bizarre but it worked for me. What was really weird is that my tacho had worked quite happily for some years before it sta
It is possible to construct a digital tacho that has better than 50 RPM resolution and an update time of no more than 0.25 second using about 20 quids (30 euros/dollars) worth of components. That sa
Hello Karim, I believe the EIS 1 Bar manifold pressure sensor uses the Motorola MPX4115 sensor which has an accuracy of about 1.5% between 0-85 degrees C. Cheers, Mark
I hesitate to comment in the face of expert opinion, but... Irrespective of whether you have a CS prop or not, waggling the throttle does influence how much power the engine generates so Richard's st
Hello Ian, As Jerry at LTS is on holiday at the moment I will put in a brief sales pitch for the Arplast PV50 combined with the Smart Avionics CS controller. The LTS website says the prop weighs 9.1K
