Re: Permit renewal, two day turnaround

Oh for the good old days…. Thought I’d beat the system by allow more time for the renewal… with a new system you always get hiccups/delays …… didn’t allow enough though! Aircraft now out of permit. :(

Solex 32 PHN-1 setup

Can anyone help with the setup of my solex.

The autochoke has been removed presumably the two feeder holes need blanking?

Does the accelerater pump on top still need connecting?

many thanks.

Your SLMG will entitle you to fly a SLMG/TMG but you will not be able to log your hours - you can only do that if you get a TMG rating - Duh! (same aircraft, same licence)!!
