I bought some of that 'Rutan' cloth recently and it seems to be exactly the same as the kit supplied stuff. Karl _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail, News, S
Hi Jos, Many thanks for your kind offer, but I accepted an offer from Jim Butcher, who is just across the border from here. Hope you are flying soon. Best regards, Karl ______________________________
Congratulations, Jac. At least you made it in the end. Now all you have to do is get behind the controls yourself. 8 years ? I would never have had the patience myself. Best regards, Karl ___________
Martin, I had the same problem and solved it with a short term, very low cost, solution, which ended up being a longterm solution: I asked a local upholsterer to make me a large cushion out of memory
Duncan, I agree with you 100%. A 'hardwired' seat is not a good idea. Also I tried this foam wedge in the lower back that others are talking about. I found it to be irritating as it reduces your seat
Whenever I need to work on the wheels, I push a suitable steel rod (not sure about the diameter) into the hub, and then put a jack underneath at the far end. To remove the wheel you move it outboard
The mod 72 has one good side benefit, it gives us the chance for a real close inspection of the back of the engine and underneath. I had to remove the silencer for better access to the firewall and t
Hi Terry, A very interesting comparison. But why doesn't everyone have this problem ? I never noticed high temperatures, and then how can your case reach melting point of stainless steel. And my affe

Hi Graham, Thank you for that useful bit regarding temperature. I can assure you 100% it is melted droplets of metal, and the aluminum underneath has melted away almost completely. Was I hit by light
Hi Ron, The picture would be a problem. Th exhaust is installed now, and the damage is almost impossible to see because there is very little clearance. One can see the damage to the aluminum duct. Th
Ferg, I had all that installed last year (except reverse sw). I had space left on the right side of my panel for the two round instruments, which require non-standard size cutouts, and mounted circui
Glenn, You hit upon something I have been thinking about for a long time: a large access panel right on top of the fuselage at the root of the fin, and eliminating at least one of the other two micke
Karl Heindl saw this story on the BBC News website and thought you should see it. ** Inquiry as two die in air crash ** Investigations continue into a light aircraft crash, which killed two men near
Bill, I have the SR3000/2W 2-blade with narrow ends and wide root with a lot of twist. It is now running very smoothly, although I had a lot of problems initially with vibration, which was due to car
No, Ferg, there is no pattern. I think I mentioned the after sales service to you. I recently needed one replacement brush, which I had broken. He was going to post it 'immediately'. It arrived 4 wee
Carl, I can confirm the trailer aspect. Before first flight I towed my Europa for 1000 km on bumpy Canadian roads. At the end of the trip the inboard TP5's had worked themselves loose. I pulled them
Hi Nigel, My main concern with this mod would be the insertion of the (predrilled) 15mm discs into a tube with anti-corrosion paint on the inside. Would there be a suitable reamer to get it absolutel
Hello John, I think there is a lot of truth in what you are hinting at. Us trigear jockeys are having to pay dearly for shortcomings in the mono. I always wondered if that mod 70 was based on a semi
