Andrew, On the monowheel classic wings we didn't counterbore at all. Must be different set up with the new style wing. Cheers, Tim Tim Ward 12 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchurch, 8005 New Zealan
Peter, Balancing the Tailplane is done with everything connected up. It is simply subtracting or adding (rarely) mass from/to the mass weights to balance the tailplane in its neutral position (along
Ron, My alternate is the cabin pressure. I took a tee off the static line and run it down to just under the instrument panel with a shut off valve. If needed then all one has to do is reach under the
Ron, No I don't. I think it came as part of something else which I did not need. Anyway a very simple plastic valve that you unscrew to open. I feel it was from a model shop to use for fuel lines to
Hi, I fitted my gascolator on the inspection panel itself with the drain coming through it. Fitted behind the fuel pump and cockpit module. To inspect it, simply unscrew the panel and allow it to dro
Paul, I had 1.5 hours dual before landing one by myself. I had to have 5 hours on the aircraft for insurance purposes before flight testing my own. I would definitely get checked out for landings wit
Gerry, I used the tradition static connection. When calibrating the airspeed during the flight testing, the position error was very small. (accurately achieved these days with the help of GPS!!!)I ha
Paul, Cut back the wire inside, the required length and then slide on the 'wireless' tube with the help of a bit of soap. Cheers, Tim Tim Ward 12 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchurch, 8005 New Zea

As an aside from Mod 70. Just received yet more documentation from REDMAN NICHOLS the Licensed Insolvency Practitioners for the EMIL liquidation. Thought it might be the MOD 70 letter!! They owe me 1
Jeremy, Wrap some insulating tape around the cable tightly and then use a sharp pair of cutting pliers and cut it half way along the tape. Cheers, Tim Tim Ward 12 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchu
Bob, I, for one, will not be getting rid of the cables, due to having turnbuckles fitted already. I will get a local engineer to weld some ears on the new TP18 for the cable ends to attach and fit th
Cliff, Also downwind in the circuits, I switch to HOLD and adjust the RPM to 4300, as you otherwise pick up speed downwind at CRUISE 5000 and only have to take it all off again to put the undercarria
Tony, You should run the oil temp between 90 -110 at 5000 rpm according to the book. You may have an indication problem? On my monowheel (classic cowls) in summer I have no problem in achieving this
Congratulations Eddie and colleagues. Great feeling and achievement. Enjoy the flying as it's a real sports aircraft! Cheers, Tim --From downunder Tim Ward 12 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchurch

Colin, I have had the same problem. I believe it is the fuel hoses we got from Europa that permeates the smell.(By the time I used them they were already 6 years old) I replaced all my 'inside fusela
