I have a dedicated trailor you're welcome to borrow.

Under the fuselage below the ADAHRS behind the rear parcel shelf.

Well done Fred. Now the fun begins Smile

I had a little water ingress from the door hinges, so I removed them, plastered white silicone sealer in the fuselage mount points and re-attached them. Problem solved. I also made sure the door seal ...

Hi Matt,

I've fitted the Dynon heated pitot and performed the calibration using the heading method. It was very accurate. Well within the requirements.

I haven't applied for a mod yet. I wanted to get it working first, so I've ground run it and works very well. I might make another valve to let cold air into the system. My first attempt doesn't work ...

I checked mine by installing a bubble spirit level app on my phone that also displayed the angle in degrees to two decimal places. Set you aileron to the neutral position, reset the bubble spirit leve ...

Hi James,

The weather is looking a little more promising n ...

Hi David.

Yes, I saw that, but it looks like as long as you stay out of class C & D airspace and the area marked in black on the attached SUP, you should be OK. I'll try and get through to SIA ...

Hi all.

Get some confor foam, Bob. That's what I have under the usual Europa cushions. They sell it as a green and blue (firm and softer) piece about 450 x 300. It fits snugly under the cushions. Not cheap th ...

Try Bruce's Custom Covers. I have a set. They're excellent.

Likewise, Frank. Great to meet you all. Hope you all got home/to wherever you were heading next ok.
