Stromberg CD150 carburettor for sale
Stromberg CD150 carburettor, pre-emission control so mixture adjustment is simple and in the base of the carburettor, popular with VW aero engine installations. The carburettor appears never to have been used and still looks like new but I don't know its history because it was included in a box of s...

Re: Chris Martyr
How very sad. I shall miss his regular and always interesting postings on the Forum. I met him and his very fine VP-1 at Headcorn a couple of years ago where I was surprised to discover over a coffee that, as well as aviation, he also had a love of vintage cars and motor sport. He lent me his progra...

Re: Why do so many VP-1's fall into disuse?
Chris, a topic involving VP-1s must have seemed like manna from Heaven when it first appeared - right up your street! Like Chris, I cannot speak from first hand experience about why so many VP-1s fall into disuse. I guess there may be a few pilots who built their machines some years ago, after which...

Re: Radio: Antenna analysis
Ian, A quick look on the Internet suggests that there are a number of Amateur Radio groups in Devon. Some 'Hams' (I believe they hate that term) certainly used to build their own equipment for mobile use in vehicles although today they probably buy it ready-made from Japan. Nevertheless, I would mak...

Re: Leburg Honda alternator adapter
Jim, I have posted something that might be of interest to you in the Tachometer for Leburg thread but, from my old notes, the output from the Leburg tacho output is a trifle unusual – at 0 rpm, the tacho output is a continuous +2.5 Volts; at 1,000 rpm the output is a series of negative-going 4mS squ...

Re: Tachometer for Leburg
Hi Robert, In the Leburg Honda Alternator thread, Chris Martyr suggests the Falcon T22-U-2R. You could also use a Westach 2AT5-2. The elderly one that came with my Peacock SR4 magneto setup worked perfectly with Leburg until the needle began physically to stick. Another approach, of possible interes...

Re: Leburg ignition
Robert, When I first installed Leburg, there was a strange minor malfunction, the details of which are now lost in the mists of time. As a so called electrical engineer, I was 100% sure that I had connected everything exactly as per the instructions but on lengthy and closer inspection (and that's n...

Re: Restoration of an airframe ...
David, The Notes to PFA Aircraft Inspectors (SPARS) of September 2000 for the VP-1 list Inspector Peter Sturgeon of Mildenhall in Suffolk as a Source of Information on the VP-1 (and VP-2). I believe that Peter has built two VP-1s in his time. He features in the current list of inspectors and might b...

Re: EVANS VP1 UNDERCARRIAGE
Hi,
By all means drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send you some photos of the one that I removed from my VP-1. If it looks any good for your purposes you are welcome to it free gratis. The only problem I can see is getting it to you - I am down in Essex.
