All, I am almost completely sure that the most significant generator of static on plastic craft is not due to sloshing of fuel, but movement of the aeroplane through the air. Here's why: 1. The aerop
Composite prop splits are probably down to the method of manufacture. Arplast props are made by resin transfer moulding where the glass or carbon reinforcement is continuous around the corner (it's a
I have noticed some RF interference on coms radiating from hand-held GPS receivers, even with their back lights off. I've checked the Garmin 195 and the Lowrance Airmap and both interfere if the coms
Fit each cable at one end only and swage up. Fit loose swages and temporary clamp at the other end of each cable. Disconnect the bottom bolt of the arm support. Lift the arm 100 mm. Tighten the cable

Rick, Sorry for the late reply - I've been away. Double sided tape is far superior to the epoxy blobs. Use the kind which carpet layers use, 2 inches wide or so. Big advantages in ease of use, no wai

I fly an Aeronca Champ and a Pelican, both taildraggers, and I have a theory about this pedalling business. While pedalling, there is significant drag generated by the rudder swinging --From side to
John, I don't think that leaks of these sorts of magnitudes can result in significant, or even measurable, ASI errors. The pitot head is being supplied by incident air with a source of pressure (and
JLW, A friend had his exhaust glazed (Rotax 582 - 2 stroke) and either the vibration or the different temp. co's between glass and steel, led to significant parts of it chipping off. Aluminisation ma
Does anyone in the UK please have any 6-32 Rivnuts (or similar) and a puller with which to install them? I just need 5 nuts. I'm near Luton, Beds. Dave Simpson
Can the Europa club afford one of these? Dave and/or Tony... There are polishers and there are polishers... For my money, nothing produces a better finish than the Cyclo Dual Head Professional Polish
