Hi monowheel classic builders, Just interested in the prop. clearance (distance =3D ground to tip of = prop pointing downwards ) to see how they compare. I have 25cm or 10 = inch clearance with the A
Phil, I have a Air Hawk 7.00 - 6 fitted made by Speciality Tyres of America. That doesn't help I know, but that was recommended. Cheers, Tim Tim Ward 12 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchurch, 8005
Steve, I disconnected the temperature gauge as it came on above 50C degrees even when taxying. A higher 'ranged' gauge is required if needed at all. Now use it as an OAT located in the Air Plenum cha
Mike, I have done that. No reflection problems. Watch VHF aerial interference problems. I also put one on the bottom but have since removed it as it got broken while taking aircraft off the trailer.

Svein, Congratulations, well done. It is truly a lovely aircraft to fly. A number of Europe's here have the heavy left wing. Easily fixed with an aluminium tab fixed to the port aileron and bent upwa
Likewise Sam, 18psi is too little and props too close to ground. I have mine at 26 psi. No control problems. Cheers, Tim Tim Ward 12 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchurch, 8052 New Zealand Ph +64 3

Will, I had the same slight fuselage twist. Monowheel Classic #292. Reported it to Andy 7 years ago. 'Not to worry about it' he said, 'flys the same'. Must have been a slight twist in the mould. As C
Interesting discussion on the risk of the canopy opening. One thing I do when I have a young passenger on board is put a rubberband around the door lever and the protective combing. Reason is just in
