Put this into context, you think the website looks and functions ok, does its job and was nice n cheap, easy to maintain for you and all that - great. Lets say, I venture into your territory and bring along to a mutually agreeable airfield, a ...

:roll: :roll:
maybe you should volunteer your `expert` time and skills to remedy the site then, eh paul ? :wink: :roll:
Maybe I'll volunteer my time and expertise when the LAA volunteers my annual fee. Been there and done that in another association.

LAA Website

I've not had much of a reason to log on for a while but was dissapointed to see the LAA have took a giant step backwards with an awful, awful website. Whoever decided that was a good idea should be slapped with a wet fish - do you actually have any comprehension of how the web works? Geez...

Android tablets are made by various manufacturers and the verison of the OS makes a big difference to its reliability. There is no guarantee that anything with happen re Oracle/Google and Android is far and above the ...

Thanks Bill, Looking at the Sioux and Chicago air drills as recommended these eat up between 12-16 cfm depening on model, which even the top of the range quiet air compressors doesn't come close too (even at £1500 - 6.5 cfm). I'm struggling to believe that all aircraft builders have gone out and spa...

Air Drills and Compressor

Hi, I'm about to start building a Zenair CH650B and whilst my workshop is 95% complete, I'm not sure about a suitable air drill and compressor. I need to have a quiet compressor as the garage is attached to the house and one year old son sleeps almost above it plus I don't want the sound of a jack h...
