is about to have the lid put on.

> The Avelec unit seems O.k. but is very expensive and has a separate
power unit i.e. three components. I know the P.F.A. has approved the
installation of this unit, which includes stengthening the cut-out in the
cockpit module. I have details of the SkySports unit from the U.S.A which
seem to have a lot going for it - lower cost and all the electronics are in
the head.
>
> Does anyone know if the P.F.A have approved this guage- I have tried to
phone them many times but cannot seem to contact Francis - also has anyone
actually fitted the SkYSPORTS guage ?? Having fitted a capacitance type
guage will the P.F.A allow the removal of the sight type of guage currently
the "standard" in the Europa ?

> Any help on this would be very much appreciated.

first flight !!!
