Thank you Bud, Kingsley and Graham for your responses. It is always interesting to know more about the history of the design. Regards Remi Well I certainly haven't Guerner but if I may just add a lit
Hi all, Landing at Sywell last September for the LAA rally, I was surprised they had both 100LL Avgas and 82UL Mogas. I decided to take 20 liters of this -unknown to me- 82UL. This small quantity bei

Hi Steve, I have the same problem with my yaw trim indicator which I installed about two years ago. The pitch trim indicator which is ten years and 800 flight hours old is still fine. May be this ind
