Re: AIRCRAFT FASTENERS - WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE??

Hi Jean, Thanks for your reply, much appreciated indeed. On your last point, I cannot insert the bolts from the gearbox side (save taking the gearbox apart to allow for this) and so I am forced to insert them through the propeller hub and tighten the bolt with the torque wrench and hold the nut stil...

AIRCRAFT FASTENERS - WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE??

Hi All, Just replaced my propeller hub (last one got damaged somehow in the blade refurbishment process) -- I have a composite 3-blade prop -- and wanted to ask a few questions of those better qualified and experienced than I: 1. Does everyone agree that AN-type bolts and nuts should be used in this...

Icon Ic-A5 Charging

Hi all, I have an Icon Ic-A5 radio (used in my Raptor trike). On pre-departure from the hangar for a flight the other day, although the radio came on initially, it 'died' before I could get to the runway. It was plugged into the plane's "charging wire" but obviously the radio-battery (BP200L) was wa...

Re: Temporary Hangarage in Polokwane for end July

Willywojo, How was the Tuli flight? I have a mate up there who owns a property and would love to do a cross-country up that way - I'm in a Raptor 582. Would be very nice to hear your comments and advice regarding your route, planning, wobblies (if any), cross-border paperwork, etc. If you have time,...

RAPTOR SUSPENSION RUBBERS

Hi all, Wanted to share a few pics and info of my Raptor's suspension rubbers, probably the originals since new, their deterioration and replacement. I noticed on pre-flight that there were two longitudinal cracks in the rubbers so decided to order new ones and replace. I left the trike for a couple...

Re: Microlight Helmets

I recently purchased one of Gerrit's helmets and I would like to say (after several hours in my trike): perfect fit, comfortable adjustable chin-strap, very comfortable fit with my headset, great slightly tinted visor with adjustable tension. Slight negative is that the strap adjuster on the "female...
