Andy, Having given this some thought I realise that I have wired according to instructions. What had confused me is that the no. 1 fuel pump comes on when I switch on the alternator switch having alr
Tony, I sent a couple of replies to your emails recently, but as they didn't surface on my screen or provoke replies I suspect they went down a black hole. I am copying them both directly to you. I w
On the subject of which fuel, it is of interest that the latest Rotax schedule for servicing the 914 calls for oil and oil filter change every 50 hrs if you are using Avgas but only every 100 hrs if
I have a Flydat with my 914 and have not installed an additional Rev counter, although the Constant speed unit of my Kremen prop gives prop rpm readout. With 2 exceptions I have been entirely happy w

Steve, It will sit quite happily on the outer face of one of the outer vertical baggage bay supports where it is totally out of the way, ideally probably on the opposite side to the coax cable to you
Paul, I have done this on my closed up and painted XS wing, using the factory kit. It was a straightforward job, less demanding than many of the other things you will already have done on the plane.
Alan, I think James Bond has a certain amount to answer for! I also have dreamed of landing at Courcheval Altiport and then skiing down the mountain. I have gone some way to making it possible, and w
Bill, I think the question of wing sweep is misleading. IMHO there is only one place to fit the wings and that is with the spars tight up against each other and tha rear of the cockpit module. Any ga
Roland, Having posted a suggestion to you, I went back to the manual and realise that the two layers of bid are meant to be put on seperately with the hinge reinforcements in between, (no doubt in th
Rowland, Your 1 metre roll should have an edge length , cut at 45 degrees of root 2 which is 1414mm. A `100mm strip will be an extra141.4 mm long, ie 1555mm. It will of course have pointed ends, but
Dave, Don't assume that battery has to go in the back with a 914, unless you absolutely insist on such a heavy battery. My monoXS/914/Kremen CS/Hawker Energy Odyssey RG battery combination weighed in
