Does anyone have an old, unwanted and broken LED type position indicator that comes with the MAC servo. It doesn't matter if it is in the bottom of the gash box. I need one for an experiment. cheers,

After the first 25 hrs, then every 100 hours.. It calls for every 50 hrs if using leaded fuel. Is my manual out of date, or have I missed something. regards, Mike

Fergus, I have Graham's firewall fitted with 914 in G-JULZ. I don't recall any major dramas during fitting. The result is excellent. I think Graham' firewall is a vast improvement on the original st

Jos, I think that the original foam built wings are likely to vary slightly more in performance than the factory made wings purely because of the nature of construction. Profiling the wing is a labo

Thanks a lot. Looks a very elegant solution to the problem. But I think the Skydrive Kit might be a little easier to implement. regards, Hi Mike, is this the modification you looking for? http://www.
