According to various press comments on Galileo there is a threat that we shall have to pay for it's use, unlike GPS. Some questions arise.. 1) presumably the US government will continue to provide GP
Hope you have all your problems sorted now Ferg. There will be more!! My particular one is vibration. Horrid airframe vibration between 2000 and 3700 rpm with my 914. Fuel drained and refilled, filte
Have you tried getting your propeller dynamically balanced whilst on the aircraft ? Also, have you checked your spinner for run-out? Have you tried it without the spinner ? Has the aircraft ever had
PPS I think we just uncovered something that I've noticed is one of the few significant difference in attitudes between the US and the UK: in the US few seriously trust their government; in the UK fe
Many thanks to all those who have responded to my pleas. To answer everone will do as soon as the prop comes back from France. All other things as suggested by various people have been checked out o.
We're probably abusing the list now, as this is rather non-Europa, but at least there is some aviation-related stuff. You're correct on the current Government. But I think it's wrong to tar all polit
I have been following the fuel filter thread with interest. Having run a PA28 for a good many years and NEVER having a fuel problem, except for a VERY occasional drop of water - which is easily dispo
Let us not get obsessive about to many negatives. Enjoy the thing for the purpose for which it was designed. If you want to make it into something else, fine, but please recognise the wonderful quali
Hey Richard- havn't you noticed that we are ripped off for EVERYTHING in u.k. ? I hope to be flying inOz in a couple of weeks' time and the fuel there is ratrher less than half u.k. prices and they h
The whole business of the cost of spares etc is getting ridiculous. Just a couple of comments following recent correspondence. In u.k. the ubiquitous 5mm SS bolts and nuts, ditto rivets - all can be
Hear, hear, Richard. I'm time-poor, too, so the convenience of Europa helps. And I'll always remember the time Damon Hill nearly won a Grand Prix in an Arrows, and it would have been a deserved win r
O.K. Trev I know when I am having my wrist slapped! But it is a serious issue and I for one cannot afford to buy a pound of butter at Fortnum and Mason when I can get the identical stuff at Tesco for
I have followed the recent parallel v series argument with interest. As the owner of a 914 with pumps in parallel and have no occasion in Europe to fly above say 7,000ft and then seldom, I wonder if
Why should the mechanical pump ( if you can fit one) be the 'back up pump? It would seem sensible to adopt general G.A., practise and have a permanently running mechanical pump and electrical back up
I am really learning about fuel pumps and pressures etc (I think) and wonder if anyone can comment on the problem I have with getting a smooth running engine at RPM below about 3600 on my 914. Could
SIMON - I trimmed mine at the top as you have to cut an angle to fit the shape of the fuselage. BTW did you find the kit badly made and rughly finished? Patrick
Ron, Isn't this absolute meaningless? I would understand and think it would be meaningful to get max indicated airspeed with what type (tri or mono) and what engine and at what pressure altitude. Agr
