I have read your post through several times and I would love to see you explain it to a room full of strut members! If this is low priority then give the struts until the job is done to make a decision.

Bill, The D9 is burning twice as much fuel to go 10kn slower and requires a much bigger workshop to build it. The MC30 is a step towards the next generation of low cost low weight touring machines. The eventual aim is to run an industrial twin (costing around £2k) at 35hp in a machine which will car...

According to a very reliable source the seat limit is 90kg (I am over that). A similar aircraft (same engine) been designed in the UK will have a 95kg limit.

The LAA’s role in approval is going to have to adapt. When the full range of ELA1 aircraft appear with EASA approval some will contain bits which the LAA have insisted are changed or modified on the equivalent kit version. Even the CAA is not immune. The new Tecnam twin has an EASA c of a and is app...

If I remember the results from the recent member’s survey about 12% had an IMCR which would allow IFR flight in UK airspace. I assume another 1 or 2% will have an IR. The avionic tests mentioned above would cost less than a tank of gas for an RV10 and are available at most maintenance facilities. I ...

Thanks John!

If we could get that system adopted in the UK then most of the LAA fleet would comply and there would be very little extra cost.

The new EASA PPL will allow VFR on top on the basic license – a privilege which most of Europe has had on their licenses for a long time.

If you want something different then I understand the Sherwood Ranger is getting approved for aerobatics. Biplane, super STOL and 2 seats?
