To both Paul & Tom - or anyone else. Who has an inkling re Rans washout: what do Rans suggest and quite how/where these above mentioned "spacers" apply ? There's another & rather ancient Rans USA directive which is little known forthe fixed tail-plane angle, requiring minus one degree compared with ...

a) If the single ignition 503 is working well, why not stick with it for a while ?
b) If you really don't know muchabout these things & still wish to change the engine it's far better to consult with your (LAA) Inspector, who will offer sage advice.

Now you have cofused me as wash out afik means lengthening the rear strut a small amount and unless you have a screw adjustable version it has to be done duing the build ? So is there another way with a spacer, if so where ? All l can do is the flap droop to chnge stall versus reflex. Rans S6-116 wi...

I will look through my Rans dossier and provide address Monday.

Now found in my p.c. files:_

A definite 'NO' for the word 'Microlight' - it's total misnomer which the lay publice popularly believes are slow & even dangerous - barely better than a strip of fabric with a noisy lawn mower engine. Our range of modern a/c nowadays are every bit as fast & roomy as many 'real' planes. TBH my 1999 ...

A pleasant & refreshing mail arrives from the LAA floating good news IMHO. The BMAA and LAA objectives and skills are now so overlapping and/or complementary in scope that a joint organisation really appears to be on the cards. Finances and staffing requirements likewise seem to allow a smooth mergi...

Methinks you have a valid point Bill. After all these "pilots" turn up, ignore the safety rules & walk about as if they own the place - whilst we poor voluntary 'erks' work long hours and yet are strictly tasked with maintaining their very safety ! p.s. I've read on this & the flyer forum lots about...

Yes,
Topsail, Wales, has patterns skill and perfectly O.K. for our Permit a/c.

Brian et al are likely 110% occupied working on the LAA Rally, it's only a week tomorrow !

Bob, I partly agree, except the 'traffic' on other forums is largely chit chat, frequently fairly low grade and often created by a hard core of complusive contributers who bang on far too much. So for me, that's a turn off ! The LAA forum might well be benefit if quicker to check new posts, as you s...

A quick thought could be that if 'they' are enticed by this, rather than put off because of greater figure they'll perhaps like the LAA scene and join us as members ?

A sort of Sprat to catch a Mackerel ?

Dear Brian, There have been several messages via me and here's the final one I had in today, in case you or anyone else is aiming to plot it precisely. Quote: Hello Mike Further update Suggest you (or whoever) to change the coordinates to N521911.15 W0005601.55 N521814.60 W0005224.55 N522032.00 W000...

Good Day Brian, As requested I directly reposted your above on the Flyer forum. One chap wrote to my mail box this morning saying usingbhis Sky Demon plotting for the co-ordinates given in it, they didn't tarry. I have repilied asking if he's LAA & can reply here, otherwise I might have to act as a ...

Still needs telling !

Worth a private bump campaign ! This Mandatory Directive was quietly listed in ~Dec, 2018 TADs but AFIK never notified to Rans Rotax 912 owners nor LAA Inspectors. If your a/c kit has an optional Hobbs meter switched via a dedicated oil pressure contact, your whole engine is at risk of total loss. I...
