Re: LAA's Light Aviation Mag - Useless 'reduced' Landing Vouchers
Disagree Ben, reduced landing fee is a great idea. Airfield needs revenue so every little helps.£15 seems to be normal give or take. Leicester has a free landing which I will use. Would think about it at £15, unless you have a specific. reason to go. I don't fly PA 28, RV or Cirrus so limited budget.

Re: Spray systems

Re: Ratchets
Got a set from Aldi less than £15 well worth for some jobs. Recently bought a set of Torx spanners from Toolstation, like Allen keys. Much better than those little things £6,

Hi Ian
I have a piece off alloy 4” x 5” 5mm thick which you are welcome too.
Wanted prop flange but this bit was too small.
If required message me with contact details.

Re: wanted- firewall cabin heat flap-valve
Hi Mark

to top.

Re: Leburg ignition switch
1 thing I was pleased with, I made a small ignition panel that bolts onto back of instrument panel. Ie has switches buzzers and circuit breakers on it. Means you can remove instrument panel without disconnecting any wires.
