If you swap 2 rocker covers around, does the leak move with it or stay on the same cylinder?

I'd be very grateful for numbers 5&6 if available?

I believe that I now have an alternate design approved by the LAA. The approved mod document is currently being updated accordingly. It is fixed mechanically and chemically, and will be provided with ...

I don't, but the bugs you are getting in the fuel filter could equally be building nests in an inlet filter, and unlike the fuel filter, you have no backup circuit for that.

Hi Vince, I have not published the files anywhere, as the imminent approval requires that they are made and supplied by me. I do not charge anything for them however.

Regards,

I have been making and supplying these FOC to Europa owners.

Mine are currently being assessed by the LAA, with approval expected this week. Mine are glued on rather than having screw holes.

I’ve also never previously had to repaint a prop. However, mine was repainted by Airmaster when it went back for overhaul; 12 months and 50hrs later, the paint is peeling on the backside of the blad ...

I often fly through rain (I live in Britain!); I find that the engine temps drop, presumably due to the rain on the radiator and oil cooler, but notice no major difference in cruise speed. I have not ...

I have 2 inputs (iPad for SkyDemon and my Dynon audio out) connected to the single audio input on my GNC255; I simply placed a capacitor inline with the iPad signal so as not to mess up the impedance.

Fuel point it which fuel vaporises is also very much a function of fuel pressure. The electric pump pressurises all the fuel lines within the cowling, as opposed to the mechanical pump which only affe ...

Hi Dave,

I’m also in Cheshire, and would certainly like to take a look if possible?

The return line goes to the reserve side, therefore the last tank you switch to should always be the reserve. As this will receive the excess fuel that is bypassing the carb.

So wh ...

I have precisely that system Richard (MGL FF1), although also connected to a red-cube fuel flow meter, and it is superbly accurate.

Why complicate things. There is no need.�

“I have a friend” who has linked the 2 sides of the tank with a Y-piece.

He is very much happier to have a nicely calibrated fuel gauge and a simple on/off fuel valve.

How low are you willi ...

Following a steady increase in the rate of grease coming out of my 18 year old Airmaster prop hub and landing on the windscreen, I contacted Dirk at Airmaster EU. Within a week, a set of "courtes ...

The fluid in it was Aeroshell 41; as a “get home” measure, I’ve emptied that and refilled with LHM as per the manual (mineral hydraulic oil).

Fingers crossed!

C’mon Steve, you could at least have told me which way around they are! I have Matco wheels and callipers. Unsure of who made the master cylinders.

Evening all; the left brake pedal on my toe-braked tri-gear has gradually started to use more of its travel. Tomorrow I’m going to investigate this (check for leaks, pad/disk wear, master cylinder s ...

I don't mean to be flippant, but is it not easier to just look at the flaps? Certainly more reliable!

My first question would be: Do you just have the latest CDI boxes, or do you have the later rotor also? If it’s a new engine, you presumably have both. If the CDI’s are retrofits, I’ve seen a co ...
