Re: sky demon light

I use Sky Demon Light all the time for my day job as a commercial drone operator. We use it on Ipad Mini's works a treat. However back in the office it will not work on Windows system for some reason.

Cheers

Avid Speedwing Fuel Tank

Any Avid or Kitfox owners out there who have replaced a wing tank, repaired one then sealed it with a propriety sealant or inserted ethanol resistant tanks within the original fibreglass tanks by cutting them open?

National PPL to JAR then EASA ?

I have the old national PPLA, is it better to change this to a JAR now so it will automatically change to an EASA PPLA or wait until the EASA is in place and change then to an EASA PPLA? Also if you fly on the new EASA when in place will the hrs from pe...

Prop Adjustment

Prop now adjusted. Turns out to be 19 degrees at 25.5" from centre line. Gives 6150 static at 22 air temp. This gave 800ft/min climb on warm day, 6mph head wind. Cruise settled down to 5000rpm at 70 mph with 20C air temp. EGTS all normal.

I have tried it at 10 degrees, (no go at all) 13 degrees (little better) and now at 15 degrees. The performance still does not seem good at 15 degrees with climb rate of 500ft/min an...
