Hey, gang, Soon we will be putting an overhauled engine on our Pawnee, and I am wondering if anyone has had experience with or has comments on engine monitoring systems on towplanes. I am thinking a basic system with all 6 cylinders CHT (and EGT?) monitored, a shock cooling warning system, and...

I have been having bad luck with trailers recently. Here is what happened a few days ago, maybe someone will benefit from hearing about my misfortune: Best I can figure, the Cobra trailer emergency brake application cable (which attaches to the bottom of the brake handle and clips to the tow...

Just wanted to fish for the procedures and experiences out there on this subject. Our overhauler and our mechanic both say no towing for 10-18 hours.... We can do this, of course, but we are eager to get back to towing as soon as we can. Any experience or procedures out there that might get us...

I am looking for a source for bungee material for my landing gear and engine bay doors (ASH-26E). The original (German-sourced?) bungee is about 5 mm diameter and stretches to about twice the rested length. The 3/16 inch USA-sourced material I have been able to find (McMaster-Carr, etc.) doesn't...

After performing a leak check on my TE system, my SN10 now sounds a continuous tone after power up. (On the ground, haven’t tried in the air) It is not in speed to fly mode but is in vario mode. Prior to this it was always “silent� after start up. Have I possibly damaged an internal sensor...

Dear all, I'm searching the internet already for a long time to find a flapped polar curve of a ventus ct but I can't find any. I can find the standard polar curve in the flight manual, but not the one with the flaps in it. Can anybody help me out with a flapped polar curve of the ventus ct...

I'm considering purchasing a Ventus B. I'm aware of the "stability" issues, although some the extent of the stability issue seems to vary from plane to plane and pilot to pilot. I've talked to some people who say its not a big deal, and others who say its problematic. It's hard for me to know...

The GFA has released our just completed video series on The Daily Inspection. Here in Oz, this is the basic inspection all pilots perform on their aircraft as it is brought out of the hangar and before the first flight of the day. There's 5 videos in the series (currently - more planned!),...

I am surprised to read Derek suggesting that there is no successor to the K13. In my mind the ASK21 is the perfect successor (probably the best, most robust trainer available) ! They may lack spinning characteristics, but in my opinion that is no big issue. Justin Craig

As a pilot who practices high speed low finishes, I think that attention needs to be drawn to the fact that 85knots is simply not fast enough when finishing at 50 ft. At that speed, the height gained from a pull is not going to be enough to complete a safe circuit. I would agree that this low...
