Re: Electronic Conspicuity. LA article Dec 21

Despite your natural urges International Air Law thinks you may either not have a PPL or have simply forgotten what you learnt. Pity for the opposing a/c pilot too ! "3.2.2.2 Approaching head-on. When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is danger of collision, each sha...

Re: AA125 5.96 Fuel cap venting

I emailed today. Apparently they don't have the ones shown in black type. I am recommended to ask the kit maker.
TBH l am finished with that route and know now none of those can possibly really matter. But many thanks for your kind response.

AA125 5.96 Fuel cap venting

My Inspector referred me to the new TADS for my a/c. However there aren't any for Rans S6-116. But a generic version is not far out in the regular S6 S TADS. However a) I see the whole LAA web site has been rebuilt but still makes finding TADS of any type pretty obscure. & b) Having 'passed' the int...

Perhaps not, it's always different for me, but a screen shot (plenty of simple free programmes) would do

I'd love to go as missed outlast year to Chauvigny and Covid requirements out and back still seem uncertainly specified. It's a moving target

Re: CAA Consultation

Today's CAA long winded & aggressive response attacking the LAA is a real '1984' Big Brother approach. The shi** certainly has hit the fan, and it's a depressing read (see today's Flyer' forum). The FAA system of owner responsibility looks more attractive than the beurocratic new worse the EASA appr...

Re: Kitfox II bungees

If the bungee mounts allow, look at winding on thinner long bungee cord to obtain tension and CSA of the original cord to mimic it's characteristics. And make off the ends with non slip knots as convenient ? Looser wire check straps as per eg Escapade can save you prop. should the suspect bungees gi...

I do have the build manual I have a pair of good used wing skins plus new Rans USA sleeves for the ailerons and flaps. I would like to hear from anyone has done it to talk to and/or is willing ...

Re: December Zoom 'pub' night details ?

Thanks Chris,

That saved a few of my gey hairs falling out !

Now as far as I recall the January 2021 Zoom meeting is next week, Friday the 29th.

I'm checking my e-mail in box regularly so as not to miss the link.

Re: COVID Latest DfT advice, no leisure flying permitted.

The Government haven't had the benefit of time during this ever changing pandemic to deeply scrutinise their 'Guide Lines', so I ccept they aren't perfect. Nevertheless on the whole most intelligent UK inhabitants do their best to keep within them. Unfortunately a percentage either don't care, or it...
