Try sales@igsltd.co.uk they are quick and efficient- and know the right pressure. 165N (yes, that is not a pressure) appears correct for the Europa. They charged 32.00 all in, 50% of which is postage
Hi, try Wendy at info@wstrimmingandupholstery.com She did a nice job of my seats in leather. We met up at Kemble, so she is not too far away. Regards John -- John Wighton Europa XS trigear G-IPOD Rea
Switzerland is a wonderful place to fly. Just don't enter the country at Buochs - expensive, rude and inflexible. Unfortunate as l used to live next to the airfield and work at Pilatus Aircraft in th
Umm, no sure if l or others have got this wrong. The D10A remote compass is a 'black box' not a card compass. Mine is under the baggage area on the RH side on a custom made plinth. Unfortunately tour

Hence plan for 10:1 to allow for turns and 'muffling about' after an engine out event. Skydemon allows you to add this parameter to the Aircraft model and thereafter depicts a gliding circle around t
I have a preference for the Vega as a landing light. Initially thought of 2 off, 1 per wing. However, they are massively expensive (Spruce quote $425 USD) - therefore one only could be mounted under
The installation looks interesting but raises a few questions about efficiency of cooling air flow. Is there a moulded cover on the inside? Does it reduce the cruise speed (a Go-Pro sized camera on m
With all due respect putting a new engine into an existing airframe is the job for a professional aerospace engineer (Co) - for a light aircraft (non-certified) this might take 3-4 years and gobble u
Believe it or not the engineering activity surrounding fitting a new engine, including the challenges mentioned by the other forum contributors (engine mounts, props, vibration, fuel systems, etc etc
A change in seat cushion type may be only part of the issue. I have used the Confur type memory foam but use a profile in the lumbar region to prevent backache. After 3+ hours my bottom goes a bit du
The speedkit is probably worth 10kts. A REALLY good surface finish and polish is worth 5kts. Diving gently into a cruise by progressively applying down trim is also worth a few kts. I first noticed t
There is significant interference drag developed at these locations. Ideally a nicely blended cuff would be available to reduce this element if drag. I started playing with shapes in CAD but had to s
I like the thumbnail of Peter's panel - almost IMAX standards of presentation!! Seriously, l also chose the Kannad 406 ELT with an external blade antenna matched to it by ADAMS. I still have the whip
Matt, If yours is a classic surely the skins are laid up onto the foam cores? I believe a good solution is to use a hole cutting tool mounted onto a long straight tube (approx. 3/4in dia.). The hole
In the UK it is mandated to have backups of both airspeed and altimeter. For good reason. Recently some members even managed to get approval for backups that are digital instruments - based on a safe
As per David Joyce's response, this area of the fuselage is load bearing and is fairly highly stressed for symmetric and asymmetric lifting loads (from the empennage). A large hole with a cover will
As Bud says, a suitably reinforced larger hole can be quite acceptable. His approach sounds thorough and considers the conservative stressing methodologies of Mr Niu et al. He could also have mention
The alternate static source when switched with this type of (2 way switch) will supplement the original static source - not replace it. A 3-way switch which selects from either Source A or Source B s
