Fred There were (TWO) tri- gears that day. One mono wheel, one mono wheel with the glider wings. All I was saying was all four a/c were in same airspace at same time, same speed. When tanks were topp

Ferg Thanks, I was lucky, I had the # 3 slot. Jim Thursby was tail end charlie. We did get a few breaks, when Keith was changing film in the cameras, and when he had each of us, join up, one at a tim

Steve The brake pads can be ordered from Aircraft Spruce. There are several listed, however you need to order the 66-106 pads. The brake seals are "0" rings, most any A/C maintenance shop have differ
We want to go too!!! I just need to figure out how to install enough auxillary tanks in "JimBob" to hold enough fuel to cross the pond and still leave room for Augustene :) :) Jim Brown N398JB
Jim; If you are talking about the Grand Rapids EIS Give Greg a call, he furnished a diagram to me when I was wiring the Rotax Engine sensors to the monitor. Yes his name is Greg also. Has the weather
Peter I have the XS Monowheel. We installed all Bob Archer Antenna's in our Europa. The VOR antenna was installed overhead in the cockpit-baggage area at the suggestion of Bob Archer. We have a Narco
Paul Try disconnecting the big cable connector and reinserting several times on the TCU. Sometime's a pin will get corroded or dirty. Hi all, I am looking for some ideas on debugging a TCU - Turbo -
