My Condor has a few degrees of toe out and it should be like that!

Read here why toe-out is required... http://www.eaahighriver.org/Newsletters ... 0_NEWS.pdf

At the recent Air Warfare Centre's RPAS Symposium at Shrivenham, 2Excel Aviation (a parent company of the "Blades" Aerobatic Team) announced some work they were doing with Selex-Galileo on a "sense and avoid" solution. Whilst designed for unmanned system, the cross-over to GA was obvious. They have ...

As a GA pilot I really cannot get too bothered about this. Most of the airspace is above FL100 - so unless you're carrying oxygen then this probably won't worry you! For the SFC-FL125 airspace you can get a Danger Area Crossing Service (DACS) from Aberporth; in fact, they would probably be only too ...

Roy Maybe it's lucky for you that I didn't know about the O-290D/O-290-3 interchangeability or the starter modification or I may well have bought her! She was a lovely wee beestie and I remember I was flying BBMF at the time and her paint job was done by some of the chaps at Coningsby (so I was told...

Roy I nearly bought G-ANIE from a Gent at Duxford - around 2003. The guy's name was Steve Partridge (I think). I remember because he was ex Air Force. She definately had invasion stripes and this picture was on G-INFO at the time. http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/GImages/G-ANIE001.jpg Nice aircraft, as I s...

Sad to see Loop go to CVL but I'm not surprised. When Loop started trying to charge for their previously free newspaper I had thought that the writing was on the wall.

Anyone know where CVL leaves those that have subscribed to "Loop", "Blades" and "P1"?

Just read this on the Rollason Condor website: Replacement Fuel Hose Problems « Thread Started Today at 10:02am » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All, Please see the below message from Pete White (Aeronca) - Subject: FYI - Fuel Hose problem > Peter, P...

John Someone in QQ is telling porkies as Mode C will give a height read-out for transponder equipped GA and military RADARs (and some civvy) have non-cooperative height finding capabilities - normally +/- 3,000ft or so depending on the range. Anyway, there's only NOTAMed non-transponding traffic abo...

I also can't understand why NATS cannot use their RADAR data - unless they want to charge the CAA (that would make me chuckle!). I used to sit on the UK Airprox Board as a Military Member and we would use RADAR data some time after the event to piece together what had happened - the primary radar re...

Mike A word of warning on some Lycoming engined AOP5s - they use the O-290-3 which I believe was a converted engine from a generator and water pump from WWII. Some spares can be quite scarce and it does not have an electric start. I also believe it is similar to the O-290C and not the more prevalent...

Will

It's probably cheaper and easier for me to start running around the block to lose 5-10kgs!

All the best for your search

Ample room for 2 big pilots and full fuel Are you sure it's a Condor?!! Here is an example load sheet from the POH - this is how they came from the factory: The following loading condition is with full fuel, oil, pilot, passenger and luggage. Tare Weight 950lbs Fuel 16 Imp Gals 115lbs Oil 1 Imp Gal...

Hi Will I am one of the owners of G-AVOH at Hinton; she's a D62B 100hp Condor. I am 6ft 1in with a 44inch chest and I just fit in. You need to be careful with W&B if, like me, you weigh in at around 100kgs (about 15 and a half stone in old money). I have to take out the rather nice leather seat base...

My thoughts as a serving member of HMForces also accord Stuart's. I would not wish this for my wife, children and family if I had fallen during my 2 Afghan tours (1 in the air and 1 on the ground). Should that day ever come for me I would hope that my wife's "Elizabeth's Cross" would afford her all ...
