results: noise. my own charger. my cigar lighter is located very close to the Com radio while in the MCR is located very far on the passenger side. You see what some testing can reveal! Now it looks
Dear friends, In my fuel tank I have cut two small openings for fuel sensors. Serious fuel leaks started to develop, so I have removed the sensors to have a look. What I discovered is that in the are
I think it is the first. Especially when you have the tank vent connected to the cobra, there is no risk of sucking the fuel out of the tank even if there would be a negative pressure. In our soft ta
Ok but in your case it seems that the water is due to rain water invasion via the fuel cap. I'm more concerned about water condensation in the tank, but as fas as my experience goes in our rather wet
I have two tank sensors, one in the main and one in the reserve side. My tank sensors are very sensitive near the tank bottom and they display the amount of fuel with a resolution of 1 liter! So I ca
If your system is leak free, the instuments will receive quite a jolt when you disconnect the pitot from the static after the ambient pressure has been changed. Such a jolt can easily damage the gear
Although I'm not Mark Burton I think that indeed it will motor to fully fine. The controller tries to maintain the target RPM, if the RPM drops it will set a finer pitch, that's what it is supposed t
I guess it is nobody's wish but it sometimes happens. That is why we have a reserve after all, to use it when it is needed. Some of us (mostly the frequent flyers, the people that travel long distanc
out of fuel. Kevin the safe one. Why would you go so dangerously close to other aircraft that you need Powerflarm to avoid hitting them? Seriously, this is exactly what I'm planning to do (buying the
Yep, I guess the extra fuel has been costing you almost as much as a carb overhaul. Ilona is working on it right now. We made (oh no, "took") so many pictures that it is quite a job to make a selecti
Ok, that sounds cool! Have you tried switching off the internal GPS, bad elf, or other sources and see whether the SkyDemon actually uses the GPS info from the Powerflarm? I don't like this option be
Nobody suggest that you don't have to look yourself anymore. Until now I had a mode-C based traffic detector. Although I always fly with my wife and we are both pilot, and have the rule that only one

? I would not ream out the spar bushes; imagine your next pin has a slightly smaller diameter. Instead sand/polish the new pin a bit until it fits. But first of all, check whether the pin will fit in
Yep, I heard that too. There is a test somewhere on the internet where they have tested a lot of dingies and it seems that even in a swimming pool the majority of the people fail to board it. Let alo
How does an autogyro (autocopter?) work? What is causing the blades to move forward? Ok, got it. But without wings (but still with the majority of the weight) will the glider still be propelled forwa
I did not have the internal flange. I just riveted 5 anchor nuts to the tank and assumed this would be plenty for such a small surface. Well, it is not. I now have made an internal flange myself and
Just assume your wings fall off. What is your fuselage going to do? It will fall straight down after the short moment it looses its forward speed. Now keep the wings attached. Switch off the engine.
