If anyone in the UK finds a suitable lightweight compressible strip, please let us know the source and the material spec. The ailerons can be sealed by flexible adhesive tape placed over the undersid
No, Fred, it is not an aircraft wheel and it is much lighter than that one looks and has a plastic shield each side which is stationary when the wheel turns. My camera is U/S at the moment, but when
The original length seems to work alright and will take 90 degs of bending without affecting the ends. However, as the largest bending moment is at the top, I would suggest you allow for a little mor
If you are unluckily enough to ground loop in a strong cross wind, it is very likely you will grind away the forward face of the fairing. I have repaired my port fairing twice now! I think you should

Ferg, I have the reverse switch near the throttle on the tunnel top and I have a bright LED at the top of the panel to warn when the reverse "master switch" is selected, which arms the guarded revers
Fred / Graham, I believe the ideal combination for a constant speed prop would be a Woodcomp hub, Arplast blades and a Smart Avionics controller, for the following reasons: The Woodcomp SR 3000 hub i
Graham et al, I think you will find, if you do the vector diagrams at intervals along the blade, that the faster the forward speed of the A/C, the more twist you need in the blades for them to provid
Hi Bob, It very much looks like I will have to drop out of your tour. I waited until the last minute, because I was not sure if Diana would be able to cope by herself. In case you were not aware, she
Hello All, We would like to thank you all for your kind words at this tragic time, they have been most appreciated. It has, of course, been a great shock for us and with having to cope with the on-go
