Light Aircraft Association

Can anyone help , some 9 months ago the BGA and the LAA were in communication regarding the Slingsby Motor Gliders ,and I believe possible gliders being removed from EASA and coming under the umbrella of the LAA this would be in the Annex 2 group , anyone any information

Thanks Howard Bradley

Many Thanks Gerry ,

Will chase all that up now thanks for your valuable help

Howard

Sorry gents to double up on this topic but needed a bit more info , the message from Mike Clark and Gerry Holland said a great deal MAUW can be a problem and to save some 10 lbs and better cranking power is good news , perhaps Mike and Gerry could help a little more , any info where to purchase Shor...

Gents , The heavy lead acid battery is slowly being replaced with the Lithiam Iron Battery ( Shorai ) is one type , It has a better cranking power and weighs 70% less than the lead acid has anyone fitted one or do you know of anyone who has , the only possible problem is the charge from an alternato...

Thank you Brian ,makes it clear for everyone.

Is the July Mag still to come out ,or is the Free issue for new membership it , havn`t received mine yet for July anyway

Hi Rod ,in answer to your question Jabiru Microlight can use it but not the same aircraft if Reg as a Cat A , The Jabiru engine has been using it all over the world with no apparent problems , that is not the issue ,and I should have made it clear (sorry) Its the fuel tank and perhaps lines ,the fue...

Richard ,many thanks for the information , I have posted the possibility to all Jabiru pilots on our Owners forum , I knew one day it would hit ,well now it has ,It is now up to the captain in command what they do regarding testing , Richard I got in touch with my Insurers and they did`nt even reply...

Its the aircraft I will go back to , I have a Jabiru 450 a nice ship and fast , but as the economics start to pinch (I am 71 ) I will be looking for a Condor , I have 500 hrs on type as a Tug pilot with the 0-240 engine , what a machine I have been pulled into the vertical many times by a glider pil...

Thanks Mike , yes I am over 70 and flying like a Gud -un , had a bit of a shake up recently regarding Ethanol ,but have this sorted now thanks to Brian , staying with LAA ,what a team , don`t know what made me think of changing , yes I do old age , take care all you flyers and be old but not BOLD

In the war there was a Ack Ack battery on the east coast , and second in command was Fred Quimby , but Fred wanted to be IC ,but he had a stutter and everyone said No way , One night No1 was off sick ,and this was Freds chance , about 5am they heard the engine hum hum of the German bombers , rrr rig...

It would pay you to visit SPLASH , I fly behind a Jabiru ,a good engine , Rotax is mainly Mogas , read some of Hangar Chat , but why not have a look at the UL 260 it looks and sounds good and it is on a stand at splash , BR

Hi Mike , No its not a case of Jump ship , but I would like the captain to tell me which way to steer , and tell me what course we were on , information requests have gone into the LAA and with only months away before the introduction of Ethanol , if the insurance can prove you have it in your fuel ...

I should renew my membership at the end of this month , the two tier may help me to stay with the LAA , due to AN 98C with the introduction of Alcohol into Mogas early next year I will not be able to fly my Cat A with Mogas and will have to revert to Microlight this takes me towards the BMAA , News ...

Rod 1 thanks for your input ,where did you find the info regarding the none use of Ethanol in Mogas , and that a 1/3 would not have it . With ref to your answer Barry I did not appreciate you were on the LAA commitee , if this is correct , will the LAA be in discussion with the CAA regarding Ethanol...
