There are aluminium Nikosil coated barrels that could be used. Great plains used to sell them, but don't anymore? They save about 10lbs in weight IIRC

Re: IMC/Night trial
Methinks someone has got a shiny new RV and wants to get it IMC rated?

Nikasil VW barrels?
Anyone know if they are ok for LAA aircraft use?
I know they are fitted to Aerovee and others, but what about retro fitting on non "manufactured" aero conversions? I've just noticed a source on Ebay for 1835 size ones and they represent a 10 lb weight saving and better cooling?

VP1 airframe for £100
I need some space in my workshop for my new project so need to sell the VP1 I had meant to restore.
Wings, rudder and tailplane all good but the fuselage would need a new top and bottom skin. It has an unbent undercarriage, fibreglass cowlings and tank but no engine.

Hi Graham,
Did he buy it? If not our Cub group might very well be interested.

Re: Rally 2013
I enjoyed myself too. Flew in Friday in an L4 Cub and camped.
Seem to be much fewer pictures on the web this year? Struggling to find any in fact!

Lots about this on other forums. I thought it was great and well worth watching. I saw nothing that alarmed me too much (other than smoking in the hangar).

Nothing to stop you, but it won't give a very good indication of wind speed. Actually, unless it's free to rotate properly, it won't even give a very great indication of direction either.

It has a 1300 engine ... did it fly with that? FRED's usually need 1600 at the very least, most have 1834's.
