I have just read that John Haynes has passed away. The name did not mean anything to me, but my trusty Haynes SU repair manual still sits on my bookshelf, along with various other tomes on tinkering with bits of Coventry rust, and I still rely on my type 1 beetle Haynes to help me keep that wooden p...

Excuse my ignorance here, I have been an inactive flyer for the last 5 years.

Can you confirm that this conversion cut off date only means that you need an EASA license to fly an EASA aircraft.

Can you can convert later if you get the whim to fly granny in a C150?

ORS4 1260 supercedes and extends to June 2019

But As I mentioned in a post to Steve, the CAA ppl to easa conversion application form requires a medical certificate.

So it's unclear how you go about applying to convert.

Hi Steve I read your article about the "good news", I have not flown for a while, and have not been reading the mag each month, so the Easa changes left me behind. I am now in the middle of getting my KR2 permit sorted, and looked to get my PPL(A) and NPPL(A) reval'd - that's when I met flying schoo...

Hi All,

how easy is it to replace the ignition leads on a D3000 mag, my existing leads are getting a bit manky.

Hi all, does anybody have a recommendation for where to get a KR exhaust made this side of the pond? Today I took my old exhaust to Zorstec in Shipley, they offered to make me one using the old one as a pattern, they even have a dune buggy sat exhaustless in their shop, so they have a good template....

Don't throw them away. Please take them to doctors or dentist.

I cannot understand why waiting rooms are always empty of man/boy comics

Hi Jim, That's what I was thinking, I figured it as an easy way to get an approximate cloud base. These low cost thermometers are probably just as accurate as a wet/dry thermometer and easier to use. I seem to get fairly repeatable measurements with a reading spread of less than one degree allowing ...

Hi all, I have one of these IR thermometers that you just point at things to find out how hot they are, great for checking for blocked rad's, binding brakes etc. My young son noticed that blue sky is very cold but clouds are only 'a bit cold' so a question that I am hoping someone can answer. If I p...

std type 1 heads are already wide, those water cooled heads look at least 2 inches higher. It seems to me that the VW design is probably at or close to it's maximum potential with the Revmaster or GP enhancements ie around 80hp from 2100cc. The worse thing about most VW installations is the fuel sys...

With a wooden prop, I doubt if the bolt holes can be drilled with much better than one mm accuracy, so there is a good chance that the blades vary in length by more than 1mm. Given that the moment of that 1mm of wood at the tip is probably greater than the moment of the tape. I would not be too conc...

I came across this useful looking gadget on the Maplin web site

John, did you ever fix it? I was just looking at the RDAC schematic diagram, and I notice that the oil temp & pressure are single wire sensors, whereas CHT and EGY are 2 wire sensors. All the sensors work in tone of 2 ways way, the 2 wire sensors generate a small voltage, the single wire sensors alt...

In the time honoured tradition of doing things at the last moment I have just emailed the address stated in the article. and only then realised that the email address belongs to Norwich Airport. What chance any of the objections will ever see the light of day. Surely we should have written direct to...

As there is no mention of rev counter fluctation, I think it's reasonable to assume that the UltraXL is working fine. The common thing in all your problems are that they are analog senders, these things all generate very low voltages. I have no experience with the Ultra, but I would expect that all ...
