As members will know, the PFA now have a form to be filled up and a fee of Builders submitting mods. will wish to contact PFA direct, as apart from the form there are a number of sheets giving advice
A separate flap lever with various setting on its gate, looks easy to implement as an optional mod.. I seem to remember it was discussed (or even tried) way back. Any reason why not, Andy? Graham C.
settings<<. IMHO that would be a touch ambitious and certainly in the #15/hr class. The serial mechanical link from flap lever through flaps to outriggers is against it. You would indeed almost be fo
I had a gap of some 10 mm at the bottom , and likewise cut longitudinal 12" V-slots in the lower fuselage end. It resisted deformation even with the cuts in, but succumbed to "dropping" the tail int
A bit old this thread, but I was suspicious of this answer because these leads are open circuit when the engine is running. The only current that can flow in them is charging the capacitance of the w
Not if the frequency ranges are different. If the noise spectrum "running around the primary side" is wide enough to reach the region where leads of this length act as efficient radiators (100Mhz up)
Don't turn it over if they're in either, if you've put fuel in and haven't installed the instrument module !. You need to have a grounding lead pair handy. I understand the latest handbook mentions t
Ah, but if we weren't occupying their airspace there would be no high power radars trying to fry them. While on the subject of high power, I have now quite a few recorded gps tracks from trips up and
Those of you with radio amateur licences in the UK will know that the authorities are pondering on whether to allow ham transmisions while airborne - so you will have to watch what your passengers ar
coverage, Sure, most outages I have found are indeed TV. We have a home-grown one just outside the Edinburgh Zone which blocks out half a county. Its almost on the 25 ILS path so GPS approaches will
Don't give it all away too soon, however good the cause. As you near the end of your tether/construction, you will spend quite some time in peculiar positions with sharp bits like control levers, and
As usual probably several things. Maybe the mould was too "safely big" in the first place but...it can also be exacerbated by having to trim back the bottom to get a straight fin line. This in turn m
Unfortunately there will be times when an engine continuing to run on switch failure( or even bursting into life) will be very hazardous. e.g. in the hangar ! Graham C.
What with world-wide stored databases, one on these days it will decide Perth, Scotland would satisfy the demand-- hope it checks the fuel first (:-))). I think a bit more built-in intelligence is al
errors creep in>. Yes there is a tendency to fit the fin on the joggle to minimise later in-filling, especially as you have no straight edge to guide you on the leading edge profile. This is in retro
Yes, I seem to have ended up with a good fit, but too little room around the front nevertheless. Very difficult to keep the starboard radiator away from the exhaust outlet that side, from the fuel pu
There are a few traps in fitting the instrument module which may not be all that obvious. Firstly it will be found that the unit is somewhat flexible as delivered. But after internals such as frames
