I leave my Jerry can in the boot while filling up. Guess you might also put in 10 litres at one filling station and the rest at another, to avoid arousing any suspicions? Having Googled this issue, I see that storing(& transporting) 20 litres of petrol in a single can is normally illegal, unless you...

Brian,
I used "Fastlane International" last year and found them good value.
Think their web link might be: www.wedelivertheworld.com
Sorry, I can't find their phone number or e-mail, right now.
Best of luck!

The Aerocar doesn't interest me but its designer,the late Molt Taylor, also designed the "Mini-Imp" which I considered building many years ago. The Mini-Imp had possibilities but would have been too costly for me. Drawing samples sent to me by Molt were of a very high quality and I think the aeropla...

Looks as though Oratex might suit my project and I'll bear it in mind when the time comes for covering. The non-gloss finish would be more suitable, anyway, for my aircraft. The instructions don't have a lot to say about wood airframes and the method shown for covering (tailplane) flying surfaces sh...

My situation is similar to that of CH. I share his concerns about mode S -and his gratitude to the L.A.A. for their efforts on our behalf. I notice that the price quoted by one U.K. supplier is £1,449 including V.A.T. This is a large chunk of my humble flying budget - most of my annual allowance, in...

David, The plans for my Boredom Fighter project show a float system using a “simple” swinging arm arrangement. This is made from two short lengths of stainless 1/8”OD wire. The shaft exits the tank through a flanged hole in the upper tank wall and is sealed by means of flexible tubing. The outer end...

VSI : Adjusting/repairing.
I have a small 2" Aerosonic VSI, for use in my project. Externally, there is no sign of damage and the needle moves freely with gentle changes in pressure. Unfortunately, when at rest, it indicates a very slight rate of descent and this can't be corrected by turning the small adjusting screw on the ...

I'm trying to come up with a solution to a very similar problem with a group owned Aeronca and would also be interested in any solutions offered. On my Boredom Fighter project, there is a ring shaped scupper welded to the tank and surrounding the filler neck, with a drain pipe leading overboard. Thi...

Continental A-65 - Thrust washers?
Can anyone help with advice on a source of thrust washers for a well used A-65, with a crankshaft that has been taken down to - 20 thou. During a re-building session the other night, we discovered that our new washers ( regret I don't have the part number right now ) were clearly the wrong profile a...
