Gentlemen, A relay from Thomas: -- Dear Barry, for some unexplainable reason, I cannot post to the forum. Albeit I often would like to share my experience. Anyway, I am not sure whether I would subsc
Hi Howard, Take care. You will still need the wooden spacer as the new block is the same size and seems to be softer. Without it the plane will be considerably lower to the ground. Got the T-Shirt on
The Navaid Gyro unit is a turn coordinator, not an attitude indicator. In an emergency it would be a backup but it is certainly not suitable as a primary instrument. It works great as a wing leveler
Hi Glen, I have the same thermostsis thermostat and I have the feeling that it has quite a high bypass rate as the oil still does not get warm very quickly. Barry -- Barry Tennant D-EHBT At EDLM - Ge
Hi Rowland, I have 25 sheets of 6061 T6 - 1mm x 1220 x 1830 mm in stock from an over delivery. How much do you want?? I could cut up a sheet to packet service size & send it pretty cheaply. Barry pos

I have the reverse problem. During my last flight I was told that my radio was reading 2 because of interferance. I could hear the airfield perfectly as usual. I have been flying it now for 17 years
Oh, Oh!! For goodness sake, lets not let the Eurocrats loose on harmonization of the regulations for experimental aircraft. All of our freedom will be lost and we will all be back in the workshop bui
Hi Roland, I see that no one is sticking his neck out on this one!! Personally I would not worry about a couple of % of Avgas. Barry -- Barry Tennant D-EHBT At EDLM - Germany Read this topic online h
Roland, I use Shell AX7 (semi synthetic) and worry more about my oil temps!! I always use Avgas if the ambient temps are likely to be (30deg C or +) or (0deg C or -). Otherwise super. Barry -- Barry
Hi Tony, If you are near the Med side of the Pyrenees in August it would be great to see you. We have a spare bed room in Empuriabrava which is at the end of the Pyrenees and a possible stop off poin

Tony, If you want an extraordinary stay I can recommend "Wallett's Court Dover Spa Hotel". It is about 10 mins from the docks. It is so old that it is mentioned in the Doomsday Book!! Super food also
