That raises the question - what is the upper limit on engine weight with two folks, no luggage, no gas and still remain within CG for a typical Europa? Thanks, Pete You're right, Fred. The O-200 was
Hi folks, Just wondering .... I don't think the rudder has a counter-balance (?) - if not, has there been any flutter tendency? Would adding in a trim servo (as some have done to the aileron) result
Hey, wait a minute, the last (and first) one I received was Issue 23 Sept 1999 :-( Maybe the lakeland folks forgot about me :-( Cheers, Pete Zutrauen Ottawa Canada Javier, The last one I have receive

Just a point of interest to those Rotax owners out there..... Here in Ottawa, one of the Katana's I rented had it's 912 quit on another renter on Thursday, requiring the instructor in the plane to la
You are right when it comes to abuse in the training fleet. The most frequently replaced parts on these planes is the gear-box and clutch. Must be the result of all that yanking of the throttle for a
Dumb question.... but if one were to use Mogas, most of which contains methanol here in N.A., doesn't the condensation water issue become moot? Doesn't the water mix with the methanol and pass throug
