If this is true and he does get out OK then it actually makes the company and their actions look very bad and as a public relations exercise has totally backfired on them. It has shown them as not nice people to deal with and the local council should look at this whole episode to gain an insight int...

This is morally wrong but legally correct. They can and have stopped it going. The reason I think is that it MIGHT harm their case to keep it closed to protect the no airfield planning application.. Also Did he upset them when it happened and become a little argumentative with the people there as se...

I now have to replace my Jodel front screen after have just done it 4 months ago. The first screen was polycarbonate and a fuel spill made it disintegrate in front of me it just crazed and split in only a few seconds right across where the petrol splashed on it. I replaced it with perspex and that s...

I have done that so you can see what we are getting.

No it happens to other computors on both sites.
The LAA home page information sits on the linked page and the direct one has a red box partly over the information.
I do not need the information any more but it must affect others.

Yes but even the direct entered site has a red box that covers a bit of the information.
The Site entered info using a link has a large blue box covering the info.

Can anybody at HQ tell me why the NPPL sites that are controlled by the LAA have got the home page from the forum stuffed right across them and even the directly accessed site has the same affliction. :? Makes it difficult to understand when a 1/3 is covered by a big blue box. It was not just my com...

I would redrill with a 3/8 drill as I still think the wood has been squeezed too tight.

No hole should be that tight on a bolt. it needs to redrilled with the correct drill in a pillar drill. If it is that tight there is a danger that the tightening down might be to loose because the torque is being absorbed by the wood grabbing the bolt. If the bolts have been overtightened in the pas...

When it is said that valves are lubricated by the lead in fuel, it actually means the valve faces and seats, the actual rubbing surfaces of the guides and valve stems are lubricated by oil seepage from the heads. I would imagine that the valves are too tight , as you say minimum clearances, then tha...

I really like that it is a lot better than the three wheeler, bet it doesn't want to roll over either.

About the same as a C150.

Borrow a rev counter (Loads of people have them in the cupboard from years ago) that run off the ignition couple it go to the speed it is in the band and mark the speedo for the two higher gears then avoid the speeds. I didnt know it went that high let alone in top.

Can anybody explain why an aircraft that was a trainer with the RAF for many years used to fly in IMC and night exercises suddenly lost the ability to do both once a Permit was issued. It now needs to be examined tested and appraised before being allowed to do so again, when the same model which did...

I think you would be very lucky to actually get anything like that. as prop efficiency is a wonderously varied thing and they never give the theoretical speeds.
I get about 85 knots from my D112 with C90 my friend gets slightly less with his and an A65 and he uses a lot less fuel doing it.
