Re: Jodel wing cart

Hi, I could be interested. Whereabouts are you/it located? Would it suit a D9 wing?

Cheers

Grabbed this from the Triumph site: "To set the idle speed the air cleaner and damper must be removed and the air valve must be held down on the bridge in the throttle bore. Using a coin the jet adjuster should be screwed up until the jet is felt to contact the underside of the air valve, at which p...

Bob, If it's non-equity then you have to avoid the obvious problem of hire and reward being credited to your actions. I do think though that it's reasonable to insure other individuals (and thus charge them). Then engine fund and fuel (dry rate the best way?) per hour. A monthly charge for hangarage...

Probably no reason why not, it's a VW at the end of the day?

Although no longer manufactured, there is a wing-fold kit available for Streak and Shadow variants. I reckon Danny Crosbie would still make one if required.

I suppose it's unlikely to come much under the £70 mark if made commercially. If anyone has a CNC mill then we could get down to material cost? I always figured this would be a one-off cost that would have to be swallowed to achieve the complete installation as DM intended. I still think it's time t...

I wasn't suggesting it was a business opportunity Ian! But if anyone wants one I can get it done at cost. The conversion onto CAD didn't cost me anything as a mate did it.

If anyone is interested, I've just had the rear oil seal housing drawn by Dave M for use in the installation of the CBR alternator produced in CAD. My local machine shop are making one for me very reasonably ad I can get more done if required. Around £75.00 for a one off, batches would be cheaper of...

I would suggest that the first thing to understand is that you need sufficient compressor output to run it. I have a right-angled air drill with a 10mm chuck that does for most jobs, but I can't remember the make - it wasn't too expensive and does a good job. The 90 degree capability is very useful ...

It's a little known fact that our editor is in fact the King of Sheppey, true swampy royalty in fact, to be revered and wondered at (well some of us do wonder if truth be known). :lol:

Why don't we call it HMS something or other and pretend it's our new carrier? That would save us billions 8)
