I used to get my Castrol Super Chainsaw Oil from Midas Centurion (by the box) - Now they claim that oil is out of production. Can anyone comment on that?

P.S. Sorry if this question has been asked - I could not find any reference.

I beg to difffer: those running with mechanical diesel pumps are older engines and does not produce the same amount of power /cc or power/weight.

When I did these maps I spoke to some one that knows about them a bit more. If the centre Miridian is not specified it will be the centre of the map e.a. 28° E for the map mentioned. In my opinion the best way to learn to use a GPS is to use it as much as possible, starting with using the simple ...

I have used a 300mm PVC Pipe for my topless Hang Glider and it worked fine except for a connection on the wing that caused dammage to the leading edge material. The pipe is still at Aviators Paradise. Someone else uses it now since I fly the Atos. In my opinion wings are best carried on a well padde...
