Not much chance of that with the bottom shell firmly fixed into a substantial jig... it probably won't move if I tried.... Not a problem other than aesthetically - my Luscombe of a few years ago has
It's always a dilemma with a new kit to decide on how sophisticated the manufacturing should be: if they had known how many they would sell, they might have put more money into it up front - hence t
I fitted 2 perspex windows/access hatches just under and slightly outboard of the fuel outlets - easy to do before you put the cockpit moulding in, probably impossible after........ M
Very simple trick to employ - on the runway, you keep them moving...lrlrlrlrlrlrlr actually it starts out LRLRLRLRLRL but once you get the idea, it's imperceptable - it keeps the channel from the bra

A potential problem with the resistance approach is that the supplied voltage is current dependent. Theorize a binding condition or electrical fault in the motor. The fault itself will reduce trim re
My understanding is that the "slick" bit is removing $$ from your pocket.... About 12 years ago I was persuaded to become involved in a long term test of an oil additive (ptfe type) in my car - a 728
grease is a multi component formulation - amongst which is a light oil to make it mobile - so tufnol may well absorb some elements, leaving the hard/stiff stuff.... I suggest someone talk to the man
good point here - perhaps we could get this on a slightly more scientific (?) basis: having pinned my fin bulkheads in place last night, I was also considering antenna line routing: this raised the q
My understanding of Nigel's carb heat mod is that it warms the carb just enough to prevent any ice from sticking (the water vapour is going through the engine anyway) and doesn't heat the incoming c
Anyone got access to specs on NAS hardware? Specifically, I need the tensile strength of the steel use in NAS146R bolts - they're Cessna 310 aft spar bolts, but appear to be perfect for attaching the
Used to do this with racing motorcycles - although we found that plasma coated (essentially pure ali) was longer lasting... all the exhausts were mild steel. The only problem is when they crack and n

Well, if you're fussy and have deeper pockets, you can have kevlar braid instead of SS - but then must use crimped fittings.. - the cover adds protection - teflon cuts very easily. M
Methinks a case of misapplied solutions: the reason racers wrap ex pipes is to keep the gas temperature up for reasons of performance ( a stronger reflected negative pulse in 2 stroke exhausts can me
Rotax's next engine will probably be a V-6/200hp - but there is a suitable fuel injection setup (full programmable) out there - as fitted to Ducati and Guzzi V-twins. Nigel Beale has had a set for ye
