Re: Evans VP-1 G-BCTT
This Airframe is still available and at a little risk as we are moving factories in the next 3 months. This would be an excellent restoration project, to flight or display or the ultimate "Aid memoire" for future builders .... please get in touch if this airframe in good condition would be of use.

Re: Restoration of an airframe ...
Thanks for the advice and comments gents.
I have already started the follow up process.
The search for an engine for rebuild continues.
1600 twin port as a base.
I have decided to go down the Leburg route.
(So have 2 lovely SR4 mags for sale)
Anybody got a spare port wing for sale ?

Re: If Carling designed an LAA aircraft?
Wood fuselage, metal structured or composite wings....? Plagiarise a current wooden fuselage with metal structured or composite flying surfaces. A FRED and VP2 that actually had some stress figures that made sense. VP2 fuselage with a parasol wing, side by side FRED ???? Lets not re-invent the wheel...

Re: Don Peacock VW CONVERSION PLANS
Have a full SR4 ignition package for the VW including all mounts and tensioners, new and unused and with overhaul certs for the mags.
I will look at the Leburg conversion and other CD ignitions.
I am returning to the homebuilt world after a 30 year gap and am very much in catch-up mode at the moment.

Re: Don Peacock VW CONVERSION PLANS
As a newbie I must say i am surprised that classic PFA / LAA resources are not freely available on the site. Then Not expecting anything for free, but if they are on the website could someone please guide me towards them :D "Freely" as in easily available as opposed to "free" smartie pants ..... :D

Re: VW AIRCOOLED 1600 ...... Yet Again no doubt ...
As the engine will require a complete rebuild to record the required data of inspection i am looking for "repairable" engine rather than a remanufactured one.
"That dirty old short engine at in the back of the workshop " type.
