I know that under certain light conditions the Oratex 600 can be translucent especially if its a light colour. The Oratex 6000 in ...

Using a PO box for aircraft registration
Hi everyone, I'm considering using a PO box for my aircraft registration as I'm not happy with my full name and address being published for all to see on G-info. To be honest, I find it absolutely shocking that in this day and age with identity theft and all sorts of scammers out there that the CAA ...

Mylar, Oratex, X-lam, Diatex, Poly fibre, Seconite aaaaagh

Now you must bear in mind that I have not tackled a job like this before although I have done 'bits' in the past. So treat me as a newbie. As far as hands on stuff goes, I'm an experienced engineer and can do...

Re: 4 stroke 3 axis microlight
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the replies.
After some searching and deliberation, I am now the proud owner of a Mk2 Kitfox complete with KFM 112M 4 stroke engine.
Its in many many bits so I just need to figure out how to rebuild it.
I may do a rebuild thread.
Cheers,
Skelly.

Hi everyone. I have a technical question and hopefully some of you may have a workable answer for me. The question is... How much grief is it to remove the heel brakes from the P1 side of a Beagle A61 Terrier and retro fit a new set of pedals with dual toe brakes ? Is there an approved scheme for th...

Seasons greetings everyone. After much asking around and discussion I thought I would post our question here in the hope that someone can give me a definitive answer to it. Is it possible to have a 3 axis microlight taildragger that looks like a conventional aeroplane that can use a 4 stroke engine ...
