Re: Compass repair

To refurbish the markings, use one of these: https://www.graff-city.com/markers-c79/ ... rker-p2694
Just follow the instructions and you won't go wrong.

Sale - Voltage Regulator

Our syndicate has a Zeftronics voltage controller available - brand new, with Cert of Conformity from LAS - unused.

Info is here: https://zeftronics.com/shop/r15100-rev-a/

Online from the US, it's $322 but we'll let it go much cheaper and won't charge import duties

£185 will secure the unit.

Re: Walter Mikron 3

Rupert, if you PM me your email I'll have a look and see if my Mikron manual (at the hangar) has the Hobson carb in it. Mine is a Jikov carb, so will be different. I have a contact in CZ who can help with the info too and is my go-between with Parma. Regards, Dave

Google 'motorcycle fork hard chroming' - plenty of options there perhaps.

The self same kit bought in the US, retails for less than $12. How annoying. I can make gaskets, but can anyone suggest where to get the correct...

Re: Becker Radio AR4201

Try Dickie Feakes here: http://bas.uk.net/index.html. Although the site's about gliders, I believe he used to work for/on Becker radios and he's replaced the internal Li battery on my AR3201 in the past. Very helpful chap.

Ah.
I didn't spot your post Paul. Yes, I still have them, but it's PROB40 too late for you and Colin's right, they are metric.

Re: Wing Root Fairings

Problem sorted. On the advice of a self-confessed 'serial ac builder', I used 2 part PU foam, sanded to shape and filled where necessary with West System epoxy Microlight filler. Messy but succesful.

Re: A company that can overhaul Limbach engines

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I just have in the back of my mind that Stu Hoy at angliasailplanes.co.uk might be able to help.
