Good morning all. I've taken over a Classic kit and am in need of some, as we call it in the USA, Araldite 420. I have several questions. 1) How much is needed to bond the top, doors, glass, etc on a
Well, yes, we have a Classic which has closed but not finished wings. We acquired A036 a month or so ago. Just in time for the Vermont winter to set in. I swear, is the TSA handling the distribution
Regarding Craig Catto's comments re: Rotax hub circle... After reading Paul Lipps' short article it appears to me that the lack of racking and twisting and the reduced mass at the tips might go a lon
We took over a project and are concerned about airfoil twist. Measured from 3 points: LE root, LE tip, TE root all on the same plane, the TE tip is 0.60 inch elevated (twist) Based on the info in Don
Good morning all, We installed the larger/stronger mod of the TP16P & TP16S drive pins (which doesn't seem to be listed in the current mods list) per instructions and with just a few on/off cycles of
Lots of good stuff. Thanks John and Gilles and others. One thing about Jabiru installation perplexes me: Every Jabiru installation I have looked at over the years has had presumed cooling issues addr
John (Lawton) Thanks for the info on your installation. One of my major disappointments of the '09 Rough River drive-in was your absence. I was really looking forward to inspecting a successful Jabir
X-mailer: iolo System Shield 4.0.3.107 Not so fast, boys. In the '30s Packard developed and (I think) certified a diesel radial aircraft engine and someone certified a counterbalanced (with a god-awf
What is the state of current thinking regarding the sight gauge? Between the seats or forward? What materials? Any floating balls to increase readability? Plumbing tips? Thanks, Creighton Smith A036
Just a note regarding low octane alco-free mo gas. As good an octane booster as alcohol is, it ain't nothin compared to tetraethyl lead. A previous fill of 100LL, burned down to 30% of capacity, when
Sorry to be late, but the 914 sounds perfect for you. As a guy who opted for a 912, I must say that if you are going anywhere (North American style) the advantage of getting up there and riding the w
I don't know about Rotaxes specifically and I only have experience with geared Pratt & Whitney R1830s and 985s and Lyco GO480s but it was important to keep positive thrust at all times on descent and

This is an interesting thread. But we must all keep in mind that the "nominal" 17 amp hours of the Odyssey battery (or of any other) is predicated on a 20 hour discharge rate and has an endpoint of 1
I have found the sight gauge to be almost completely unreliable in my classic monowheel. The only way I can know the fuel state is to slowly fill to the top of the filler and set the totalizer to 18
I second the installation of the Ultimate Ventilator. I strongly recommend lnstalling them in the corner of the windscreen itself. (Careful not to cause a crack) I put mine in the fuselage side under
I have installed the iLevil on the lnstrument panel floor, carefully aligned and shimmed to level flight attitude. I use flyQ and the combination works very well for VFR. We do use 2 aging ipads for
My Europa Classic has a heater which takes exit air from the starboard radiator to the copilot side. It works to cut the chill in Florida winters-slightly. The major cabin heat source is, of course,
