Piper Cub Brake hose wanted
A friend of mine, an LAA member, needs to replace his Piper L4 Cub brake hose, and has been unable to source a local replacement. Does anyone know of any organisation that would make up a new one? The problem seems to be in the end fittings, which I understand are 1/8 NPT at the Scott Brake end, and...

Re: 2019 Rally
I believe it's because the landing fee goes to Sywell, not to LAA. We get to go into the exhibition free.

Re: Taylor Mono, Constant nose up attitude
You could rig up a piece of bungee or a light spring to introduce a countering nose down force on the stick but it would almost certainly require mod approval. You'd need to be able to show that it didn't restrict full fore and aft stick movement, so a long spring or bungee anchored some way from th...

Re: Acro Sport 1 (EAA Biplane)

May I suggest you prepare a short message and look for a suitable venue for an initial meeting. If, as I hope, you're successful, the Office can also suppl...

Re: Compass Repair Kits
In USA they are referred to as Whiskey compasses because they were filled with alcohol.
