Hi Kingsley Mark Burton, Smartavionics, has a generic version of his cs unit that he says should work with an NSI. I talked to him about it a year or two back when I was thinking of adding CS. Regard

Hi Phil I have flown one with toe brakes and I could not get my feet on the brakes and rudder at the same time. It was all too tight for space in the footwell. Pete I've not used either on a Europa.
Hi Graeme I will have one, it will probably save a bit of weight and my hose must be getting towards the end of its life. How many are you thinking of? There is a chap on our strip with a metal worki

Hi Frans I have had the Mylar gap seals since new in 2003. Mine were fitted to the flap gap, as well as the ailerons and rudder, but my inspector was not happy and checked with the PFA/LAA. They were
Evening Frans My seals are all on the top surface and the hinge line of the rudder. I agree with you about the effect on the stall speed but was not prepared to argue the case - at the time I just wa
Hi Frans No I was thinking if your take off performance has improved when you were hot and high (a bad combination for performance) that there may be a greater improvement closer to sea level. And ye
Hi Frans Yes it's a mono. No speed kit fitted. Regards Pete Nothing Oh, I have the opposite. The hinge line (on top) matches perfectly with the tail plane and trim tab so I decided to leave that alon
