I also submitted a modification request to the PFA along similar lines to John but with the return into the vent inlet. It has been agreed by the PFA subject to fuel flow tests which I have not yet d
Can anyone direct me to photos of the baggage bay area (upholstered) of a mono? The factory instructions for their upholstery kit are incomplete. Regards Paul G-GIDY
Anyone know where I could get some of the unlined material and braid use in the factory upholstery kit? Going to try the factory but guess they buy these kits in. Regards paul G-GIDY
Ira It certainly solves a problem for us as we approach running the engine for the first time with our BMA E1. We have a 720-12R but haven't fitted it yet. Very interested in how you have it configur
Anyone answer me this one. Having spent ages soldering co-ax onto the copper tape supplied by the factory, I've just broked the tape in half! Would a piece of copper wire be of similar efficacy as t
As I understand it, the CAA is making my Microair mode a/c transponder redundant before it's had chance to fly. Can anyone tell me if a mode S transponder antenna would be the same - we have the micr

A few thoughts. The PFA will accept alternatives to the sight guage - they require two independent methods of determining fuel quantity. They have accepted our system based on the avalec capacitance
Is there anyone within striking distance of central UK (Derby to be specific) who would be willing to sell enough resin for us to do the tail plane mod? Regards Paul G-GIDY
Ira Are you not monitoring the VDO probes with your EFIS because they are ungrounded probes? I am hoping that changing the VDO probes to Westach grounded alternatives (which fit the holes in the head
Jos It's using aircraft ground which a believe is the problem with the BMA EFIS - hence the need to use a thermistor with two wires. I believe the E1 uses it's own internal ground as reference so CHT
Jos What I think happens is that 12v into the EFIS goes through a DC/DC converter which isolates it from a/c ground and sets its own internal reference (this was how it was explained to me by Jim But
I'm after a few 'flag' crimp terminals (ideally PIDG ones). Anyone ever seen any in small numbers in the UK. Only seen quantities of 50+ in the RS catalogue. REgards Paul G-GIDY
