Brian, Re the double voting. One of the organisations that I belong to stops it this way. Postal votes must be in by 7 days prior to the AGM. At the AGM, you 'register' by showing your membership card. Your card number is quickly checked against a list of postal votes received and if you have not vo...

Sky-craft sell the springs used on the Rans taildragger, if that is any help. they are at http://www.sky-craft.co.uk/acatalog/Rans_Spares.html

Being very new to the LAA and have never been to a strut meeting, I am looking forward to the 'Flying Strut' to see what a strut is all about.

Mike, The BMAA put a postal voting form in the magazine that has the details of the AGM. The member can then fill it in and post it back to the BMAA. From what I remember it is not even freepost, so there is no cost to the BMAA except the cost of printing one piece of paper per member and then count...

If the amalgamation of the BMAA and LAA goes through (I hope it does) then the new association will have to accept proxy voting as us BMAA members will not want to lose that option.

Several airfields that I have visited that are not used to microlights request that Microlight Pilots get PPR so that they know the ATC's concerns and ATC know to expect them. This seems to solve most problems and the airfields often drop this at a later stage when they are happy that they are not h...

If it is of any help, North Weald have a microlight school there and they mix with all kinds of traffic including jets with no problems at all. The problem is more of a perceived one than actual in my experience as microlights are a lot faster now and can quite easily come in on final at a high spee...

I don't have Chris's number on me at the moment, but he is listed in the inspectors list in Great baddow, Essex.

I hope this helps.

If you accept the Piper Cubs and Austers into the airfield, then microlights will not be any problem.

Just an observation, I may be telling you something you already know, in which case, sorry. If your browser is stopping cookies from the website, the automatic log-in will never work as far as I know.

The automatic log-in now works for me since I corrected this on my computer.

Just a quick note, the voucher does not appear on the web page, only a blank box.

I sincerely hope that he is not going to be able to work on the microlights that are looked after by the LAA!! That would rub salt into the wound

For those who have or are building a Rans S6ES, where did you get a copy of the assembly alerts etc that do not appear on the Rans web site, i.e. those NOT begining with AD mentioned in the TADS?

Thanks for all the ideas.

Thanks for the replies, no 6 months is not a chore, but I was surprised at how quick the marks rub off. Too impatient again!

Thanks for the tip on the paint sticks, I will try them.
