However I have tried the following to correct the fluctuating oil pressure reading. 1. Three different oil pressure ...

The installation is an Ultra XL on a Sportcruiser. I have fluctuating readings, particularly the oil pressure. I have tried swapping sender, the RDAC, using a separate 12v supply, adding additional earths etc etc etc. The system worked fine for the first 25 hours. I am now finding that on long fligh...

Avionics expert needed.

I am in need of hiring someone in the South East who can troubleshoot when things don't work. I am not an electronics expert and have spent so much time on this that I am probably missing ...

what does wilksch run on?

Are Wilksch still in business? My understanding is that they have sold about 40 engines in four years and that at one point they had about 20 staff.
Their website does not appear to have been updated for ages and they never advertise.

Do they run on fresh air !!

medical renewal fees

I live in the Reigate area and the cheapest class 2 renewal with ecg that I have found is about £150.

Is that as good as it gets?

noise certificates for permit aircraft

I am planning a trip to Seppe and although I cannot read Dutch, it is clear that having a noise certificate has an impact on landing fees.
Are they available for permit aircraft, and if so, how does one get one please.

it seems to be an obscure item that is not available in the UK. I think that Farnell can get them from the US but they want about £10 + £15 p and p which seems a lot when I only want about 10 tiny terminals which should cost about £1. The housing is a Molex EDP# 09-50-6125 (Eng#4338-12). The termina...

thanks for that info. The crimp terminals really need replacing before I go any further. If anyone has any for sale I would be very interested.
