Interesting results! I occasionally switch my engine off during landing (just as I flare). This greatly reduces the landing roll and need for braking. I only do it when I am landing in a very short f
Whilst we're on the topic of fuel systems, I am looking for a small electric cut off valve preferably one that closes when you apply 12v. I want to use it as part of a fuel system. I can buy the guts
Has anyone tried an FM radio (receiver) in the air. Can you receive music stations or is there too many signals for it to work? Jerry LTS@avnet.co.uk www.avnet.co.uk/touchdown
I use the same level sold by Spot On in the UK but I bought mine in the US where it was a lot cheaper (about 90 from memory). It's a great tool and I use it frequently and still find jobs for it now
Over the years the Europa guys have been very friendly and have welcomed me in my Banbi to several of their Fly-Ins. With eight Banbis now Flying in the UK we plan our first Fly-In to take place on t
The main causes of drag are the frontal area and drag from the aerofoils (wings and tailplane). The bits that stick out contribute a little then changing their drag coefficient does not have a big ef
Hi Graham I don't disagree that the effect may be more beneficial on a Europa than a 172 and I would certainly try and eliminate as much drag as possible. To do that you obviously have to address all
I get very different results on different days. Even taking everything back to Flight levels I still get variations. The best figures seem to be achieved on cold days when pressure is high. Last week
Conversely you could always try and sell your DCs and buy a pair of something different. I use and sell LYNX . If you want to try my Lynx then just drop down to Old Sarum sometime ( =A3360 pair inc )
I have just learnt that the owner of a 912S fitted with an MT problems had suffered vibrations from day one, much to everyone's surprise. Eventually it was discovered that the 912S had not been fitte
You might think that the slipper clutch is not there for absorbing the vibration however. 912S / No slipper clutch plus MT prop Bad vibes. 912S / Slipper clutch + MT prop real smooth. I am told the I
However in our experience the 912S takes a lot more to start than a 912 (and probably a 914). Using an external battery will probably extend battery life although I would not go to those ends. Using
However some batteries last much longer than others. We've been selling so called pure lead RG batteries for around six years. My original customer is still using his 13 amphr model on his C90 engine
Our 2.8 kg 8 amphr battery is however fine for cranking although it has only M4 nuts to deter users from over tightening the contacts and damaging the battery. I use the 13 amp version on my 912 and
