This raises two questions. 1. Do you only ever need 20 litres to refuel ? If I fly 2 1/2 hours I need to put in 40 litres, and with only 20 litres of cans I would have to do a double trip to the pet
I went to Peterborough (Conington) today. Parked up was the factory tri-gear demonstrator G-KITZ. I have seen it there before. According to one of the staff it is Keith Wilson's ! Apparently he "comm

Well team, after 12 or more hours misfire-free I feel confident enough to announce that I have (finally) found my misfire. It was not the throttle linkages or the throttle box. When my co-builder (no

I have done some small calculations in respect of the W&B of G-OWWW which currently has the battery in the rear. For the purpose of calculation I have said the battery weighs 12 pounds and moving it
They don't work by voltage. The sensor connects to earth and the resistance in that circuit defines the reading on the gauge. To test connect up 12 v+ and earth to the correct terminals on the gauge
A question for the techies out there. I have a starting problem, and one possibility is that my battery needs replacing. (I am working through testing other things). Everyone seems to rave about a fo
