Thanks for this. I suspect I'm going to bail out and go to SD.

Was contacted by a friend today who'd received the Shobdon reminder, he called me up and we went to Shobdon at short notice, a great day out.

The BMAA Events reminder is a superb idea, long may it...

I think you mean pressure group, vocal and not afraid to use their size nines.

The best we can offer our members is is the orphaned process.

It's not good enough.

Still not out of the administration process. Somewhat more lively discussion elsewhere but the bottom line is how well approvals and other costs will fit in with the supply of spare parts as a viable...

Ben has posted that they're OK AFAICT.

Be interesting to find out what they regard as sufficient traffic.

Problem is, Facebook is chaotic, vitriolic, and not much good for casual browsing.

The collapsed tree type reply system makes...

What we have now and how we use hand held radios in microlights came about because of an exemption.

Radios in Annex I aircraft is nothing to do with EASA, as they explained to us at an Expo one...

When I read through it seemed like a fair few were BMAA/LAA initiatives.

I don't remember the CAA coming up with any proposals to allow or exempt hand radios post 8.33, for example, but maybe I...

About 50 hours since engine refurb by Eccleston Aviation , 430-ish hours in total, oil injection, syndicate has now acquired a Skyranger.

I know nothing about Rans S6s or Sherwood Rangers.

Skyrangers can have Dacron or X-Lam skins. The latter last longer. A lot of older Skyrangers have been re-skinned with X-Lam.

If you're good...

Bill Brooks has done quite a bit of long distance stuff on the HypeR, and with a 30 mph headwind it's worth his while flying flat out at about 90-something mph.

OK, so he's 912S is that, but as...

You don't use min sink for anything involving efficiency IMV, you use best glide. Even with a tail wind it's unlikely you slow down to min sink, although you'd get close.

Take the polar curve for...

I was also interested in this but lost interest when I tried to look at the page describing the capacitive sender and got "You do not have permission to view this page".

A 912 engine frame will set you back about £600. Battery may need moved, and the 912 Quantum has thicker seat frame tubing than some of the other variants if they were made earlier in the production...

Robin Kraike at P&M has done a 582 to HKS conversion. He kept the 582 style analogue instruments.

Not sure how the swap the other way might go as some HKS engined AX2000s had a Flydat lookalike...

I'm not worried about whether anyone thinks I'm a real aviator or not. Having spent four weeks grounded, getting the engine off and back on and the crank replacement, I can say from experience that...

Is there a manual? None that I can find...

I also have a 582, and the crank croaked at 380 hours, so it's on condition, but when it it blows, there's no arguing that you don't have to change it.

My maths is based on the cost of a new crank...

Costs and 582 v 912:

If you look at total cost of ownership, then somewhere between 600 and 1,000 hours, depending on crank life, the 582 will become more costly to own.

It's the cost of...

Yes , sorry, vBulletin seems to have a bug for link insertion, fixed now, thanks...

I'm led to believe the major stuff will be for Quantums with the newer sails with the black Technora reinforcing strip. When the new sail gets fitted the hands off trim can go up by up to 10 mph, so...

Because the cost of an 8.33kHz frequency is 1/3 the cost of the same coverage on 25kHz, not unreasonable as 3 x 8.33kHz take the same bandwidth as one 25kHz and therefore the costs are proportionate.
