Light Aircraft Association

The way people are getting so aerated anyone would think membership was expensive! At around 50 quid p.a (slightly more to join, less to renew) what's to quibble about. It's less than an afternoon's flying for a lot of us! Compare that with what you actually get (magazine) and have access to (engine...

Rob, if Lycoming designed the engine to operate with an oil screen then that should be perfectly adequate. Good point and I'd agree with that were it not for the fact that Lycoming produce their own oil filter conversion! Trouble with theirs (as I understand it) is that it sticks straight out the b...

I have heard that Plexus Plasic Polish is supposed to be quite good at hiding light marks.

Admittedly this is more an everyday plastic screen polish rather than a renovating one, but it might help!

Vortex generators always strike me as something used to offset problems elsewhere in a design. But then I'm well known for my cynicism! I do appreciate that this is not the case with an ARV, so why turn a nice looking aircraft into a short spined porcupine. As a matter of interest Mike Moulai of Sil...

I've got a Lycoming O-320 in my RV6 which just has an oil screen, not a 'proper' filter. I've nosed around for a filter conversion and there seem to be a selection of choices including Lycoming's own and various after market ones. Van's sell (and presumably recommend) the Casper Labs one that turns ...

Steve,

I've PM'ed you on this subject.

'Nearest' is still a flippin' long way in a lot of cases.

Does this mean we will be forced to pay subs to a strut we never make any use of?

Or will the Strut be forced to have a membership list of hundreds of people they never have anything to do with?

They make new seals, anyway.

Jamie, This is probably hopelessy simplistic, but I'll suggest it anyway. If you look on G-INFO for aircraft type KR2 then there's 2 pages of aircraft. You probably know this. Have you realised that for home built aircraft the Manufacturer field on the form is the person who built it. If you work th...

Carry on like that, Nick, and you'll be made an unperson.

How about a Virtual Strut based around a bulletin board, probably this one? This idea was raised on the old BB but seeing as that's now been torpedoed I thought I'd open the discussion again here. I know that the rules as they stand indicate Struts have to be geographically based, but we have the Ed...

Home built Luscombes. What a wonderful idea. Pity it's unlikely to happen given the way the type certificate and tooling keep getting passed around.

Anybody got a set of Starduster Too plans available?

Mach2 : you beat me to it!

If it means that Permit aircraft will be able to be flown unhindered all over the EU by a pilot with an NPPL (EUPPL? Recreational PPL?) that can optionally include Instrument, Night and Instructor ratings then I'd class EASA as being "A Good Thing". Otherwise all we've achieved is a load of aggravat...
