Yes!
A very good letter Steve. Let's hope that planning permission is granted..

Re: EC device approval.
Terry,
The SE2 is designed to be play and go!
You need to find a good location to mount the device so it meets SE2's requirements of vertically mounted and with an unobstructed "view" forward.

Re: Fabric wing covering
Laurie,
May not be what you are looking for but Google for AC_43.13-1B which is the "FAA ACCEPTABLE METHODS, TECHNIQUES, AND PRACTICES, INSPECTION AND REPAIR - AIRCRAFT".
Section 2 is about aircraft fabric and gives specs for different fabrics based on wing loading etc.

Mark,
To save yourself from possible grief and expenditure I suggest you e-mail LAA Engineering for their specific advice on this issue.

Re: Radio’s
As large as you can fit.
But I would suggest a minimum of 6 x 6".
Is this to fit an antenna to an already constructed aircraft?

Re: LAA amateur built aircraft flying to France post Brexit
I would ask that question on the Flyer Forum.
There are a few English posters on that website who are based and live in France.

Re: Source of Stainless Steel Piano wire
Have a look on the Aircraft Spruce website.
LAS get weekly ships from Aircraft Spruce and that looks like, possibly, an Aircraft Spruce part number.

Dion,
£75 is probably less that it will cost to get them from USA!
Have you asked Bruntons if they can help?

Re: Big pilots
Derek, The info you want would be hard to compile now as the LAA must have xx different aircraft on their "books". I don't know what number "XX" represents.... I am fairly sure this question has come up previously on this forum so have you tried searching? I think one of the larger Jodel models will...

Re: Use of Stainless Steel AN bolts in place of CAD plated AN bolts
Mark,
I think this is a question you should be asking LAA Engineering about.
They will be able to advise if use of SS bolts in your particular application is acceptable.

Re: France airstrip?
Try posting your query on the Flyer GA forum. There are some France based aviators on there who may know.
I don't think the French have the equivalent of our "28 day" rule and I believe establishing a private airstrip may be difficult.

Re: Firewall electric services pass though query
William,
Good electrical/electronic engineering practice would be to keep ignition wires separate from data and 12V power cables where ever possible.

Re: Mylar, Oratex, X-lam, Diatex, Poly fibre, Seconite aaaaagh
Skelly, No doubt you will learn how to apply Oratex successfully during your training course. However, I believe that surface cleaning/cleanliness is paramount when applying Oratex tapes to Oratex fabric as you don't want to find the tape edges lifting after a few years. I have seen that issue on on...

I can't comment on the others: So, I am faced with a choice of products, mainly (I think): Mylar, Oratex, X-lam, Diatex, Poly fibre and Ceconite. What I would like t...
