Hello Luscombe,

Your post does beg the question as to why you are placing a Rotax in a French classic 1050?

Why not use 2-pack epoxy varnish; totally fuel-proof once cured.
Available from all good yachting suppliers.

" FWR-1 Permit to Fly revalidation application "

Please call it the Blue Form. That's what FWR Fixed Wing Renewal owners know it as.


Take care,

I believe Swiftair at Leicester are in the process of getting some Slingsby legs (unobtanium) re-chromed. They are also approved for Pups, so it may be worth having a chat with them.

....and our personal addresses are widely available in so many other areas one more isn't of any consequence. I'm not convinced of that Brian. For example, I'm not on the "open" electoral register.

Hi Tony,

Superior only sell A65 cylinders as a complete set of four, at about $6000.00

My beloved permit Taylorcraft here in the UK, with a C85, has a cracked cylinder, so I'm looking for a replacement. Any avenues/suggestions? (as an aside, I also need two A-65 cylinders, +0.015 with an EASA Form 1 or an FAA 8130) for my beloved certified Taylorcraft in the USA. They're broken as wel...

Don't let the permit CofV expire; my understanding is that the LAA cannot allow a PtF test flight (or a permit to test) AFTER the expiry of the old Certificate of Validity date. You would need a truck to bring it back to the UK for that.

A hairdryer and a soft scraper work pretty well too (don't tell the wife you've borrowed the hairdryer!)

Check that T88 is approved by LAA before you use it.

If it's for a permit aircraft, use Johnson's baby oil.

Seriously!

Serial no. is not required, Chris. See the post one above yours, from Tony.
