Re: Wanted: Continental -8 Rear Case, for filter mod

Hi Colin Yes I am very pleased how the Continental-12 oil filter adapters have turned out, just need more demand for them. Thanks for your kind offer, however I do now have a rear case for the -8 now. The -8 oil filter is now being drawn up, hope to get the paper work in to the LAA in the next month...

Re: Luciole, FIXED LEADING EDGE SLAT, reduce stall speed ?

As always with these thing the devil is in the detail.

One thing is for sure, it would be unwise to increase the MAUW

Yes there would be a weight penalty of may be around 5Kg.

At the end of the day only pilots below a certain weight could fly the Luciole with full fuel.
