Light Aircraft Association

I have always worked on the basis that credit should be given when it is due and I just thought I would compliment 'Light Aviation'. As a publication it does seem to be continually improving and now strikes a good balance of building, flying, engineering and news. Out of interest, is it sold outside...

Did I read your post correctly that your workshop will be 3 (three) times the footprint of your house?

What are you building? An Antonov?

John, I agree with you. Buying something in a language I can't speak and with no UK after-market support worries me. The Kiev has great reports all across various websites and the agent at Sywell has been very helpful on the two occasions I have called him. Andy Draper at the LAA has said it is an a...

I am about to purchase a replacement propeller for a wooden GSC 3 blade. The replacement will be going on a Kitfox/912s and I have in mind either a Kiev ground adjustable or an Arplast ECOprop ground adjustable. Does anybody have any particular knowledge of the benefits / downsides of either? Have I...

perhaps prices could be a bit cheaper next time? I stand to be corrected but £20 for a day out is cheap compared to many other commercial weekend destinations. I would be very surprised if any non-flying non-members would have gone away feeling disgruntled after paying £20 for a day at Sywell with ...

I'm sure there will be lots of feedback from people about their opinion on the success of the rally. I will go first and say that I think it was excellent. The organisation was top notch. The chaps on the radio were superb, the parking worked, the retail section was just the right size, the airfield...

I'm looking for a low/medium hours 80hp 912 engine. Cash waiting.

Please email me at jono[at]watersidefarm.net if you can help as I do not check PM's on this site frequently.

Thanks in advance

I had similar issues with my A65 in my T-Craft some time back. It ran fine until about 20 seconds after departure when it would lose power. A temporary carb swap proved it to be the float in the problematic carb and a complete carb overhaul did the trick and it was sorted after that. What ws the pro...

Hi there I have the Grove gear on my Mk IV Kitfox and flew it for some 80 hours before it was installed so feel I can explain the benefits. Basically, the wider track once it is installed means that ground handling from a directional point of view is far more stable. It will track straighter due to ...

I think you will find that such thefts are "to order" and within 24 hrs, those engines would have been tucked away in an Eastern European hangar somewhere. As a farmer, equipment theft is something I have had to budget for now. I had £16k worth of quad bikes, trailers, tools etc stolen last year. Ap...
