My aircraft is now 5 years old and I understand that I should replace all the hoses and rubber components. I have obtained the fuel, oil and water hoses from Europa but they do not supply those on th
Hi Marcel. I replaced mine recently after asking the forum. It wasn't a difficult job. The battery is a wire ended 3.7 volt Lithium Thynol Chloride AA cell. As recommended, I bought one from RS. The
I have recently bought the kit from Europa to reposition the gas strut to cure the bulging at the top rear corner of the doors. It seems a little OTT as it requires me to glue on a complete back sect

Hi Remi. No. I took the altimeter out of the panel and completely disconnected it and it is still showing 2000ft. at sea level. The message that John Wigney sent me pointed to a discussion site which

I have never flown much in winter before and am having difficulty getting my 912S to start in the freezing weather. It also makes a funny noise sometimes whilst I am trying to start it, like a ratche
