Add alu. strips on opposite sides of the tubes, and with a metal rod for the float repeater you have a linear capacitance gauge, and you can still see it for when your electronics fail. For "WW2" out
Sure, but Europa use air, ( in a suction area too) so presumably don't believe this is a possibility. Might be if you fly inverted (contrary to the operating manual). Your elegant solution will be fi
Take heart from this.... a nearby building team (who must remain nameless) were doing taxying trials when they "inadvertently found themselves committed to a first flight". They got it back on the gr
