Re: Arplast PV 50
John I think you'll find that most of the Arplast props fitted to microlights are fixed pitch. So not sure what help P&M will be to you. Last year I had to fix a couple of problems on my PV 50 fitted to my Europa. Most of the parts are commercially available. Not of the hardware is. I needed to repl...

Re: Avio lights
No real update. The LAA said that if my inspector was happy with the flash rate then that was ok!! As I'm the inspector, I'm very happy with it.
I did ask for some guidance material from the LAA on lights. But they do not have any. However the BMAA do https://www.bmaa.org/files/til_013_strobes.pdf

Re: Avio lights
Berian, I'm fitting these to my Europa at the moment. When I submitted my mod paperwork with the technical information from Avio. The LAA pointed out that the flash rate quoted was to high. The design specs the LAA use as a basis for approving strobe lights quotes a maximum of 100 flashes a min. Avi...

Re: Jabiru 2200 Engine
I have a fair bit of experience on Jabiru engines. But when I need some info I've given Kev a ring and he has been most helpful. He is also good for spares.

Re: Flying after permit/annual expiry
You would probably require a written authorisation from the LAA for a one off flight. They may require that any MPD's that are due be done before the flight.

Re: Factory built SportCruiser PS28 maintenance
You will have to find a licensed aircraft engineer the PS28. They might be happy for you to do the work on it. Worth asking. Any body can work on their aircraft not matter if its C of A, LAA permit or EASA permit. You just have to find someone happy to sign off the work once the work has been comple...

Re: McCauley Prop Bolt Length
Richard, Prop bolts are not standard AN bolts. The thread portion on a prop bolt is longer than on a standard bolt. They should protrude through the back of threaded inserts. If they don't they are not engaging correctly. If they don't engage correctly they are not transferring the load correctly. I...

I've just bought an aircraft with a Arplast PV-50 prop fitted to it. Does any body have any maintenance data for these props? I understand that the manufacturer has gone out of business so no joy there. I want to be able maintain the prop and keep it going for as long as possible before it needs rep...

Re: Why do we need approved inspectors?
Graham,
You could if your a CAA licensed engineer become a LAA inspector. That's what I did. I'm sure Ken at LAA HQ will help fill you in on the details.
Any way if your inspector is doing his job properly he will doing more than just filling out a form and signing log books.
