outkast

my PAP throttle has one in the form of a wing nut on the pivot point, does yours not have the same?

I think they go in your outbox until the person they are intended for picks them up

sounds like a great adventure, I am afraid i dont know enough about the channel or boats and stuff to be able to give any real worthwhile help, but I wish you luck and maybe you can put up the details once they are finnalised and few of us can organise a welcoming party on the kent coast to cheer you home. Good luck, Dave.

always worth keeping your eyes peeled for Lidls bargains, picked up some great gear in there over the years.

Thanks Pete, a few of us will be down agin soon enough

Good idea Malcs, I will try that too.

Hi Col, yes I cleaned the hole all the way through, thats what i cant understand.

looks good Ben, I think the logo should be something a bit suttle, may be something like the BMW logo wich incorparates a propeller, maybe a propeller in the middle of a circle wich is also a sort of compass, the 4 blades of the prop could point norsh south east west like compass points

I would expect something like that from that talentless twat Brand, but I would have thought that Ross would have had more sense.

Thanks Fuel, I can turn the motor over just not fast/hard enough to fire it up, my mate who is a 18 stone man mountain had a go and even he said, "feck me I nearly broke my wrist"

Thanks for the info chaps, I am going to have another crack at sussing it out as soon as I get time.

just in time for 3 new students to be taking to the air

Yes pete, when I met the guy to buy it, it was running fine, he fired it straight up from cold with very little effort, I have just found some info on the net that says if its not the decompresser hole its probably the belt slipping and not letting the prop play its part, I will check this tommorow as its 2 inches deep in snow outside now , thanks for the info.

LOL, yeah, what sort of plonker would do a thing like that

The prop is on when I tried it.

Hi Pete ,would that make a differance?

Hi chaps, I have a pap with a solo 210 engine, when I try and pull start it it is almost imposible to pull the cord and hurts your hands doing so, I thought the decompresser hole may be blocked so I ordered a new head gasket and took the head off this evening only to find the hole completely clear and the inside of the engine quite free of any coke biuld up, I put it all back together and tried again, no change still really hard to pull over, I took the plug out and it pulls over easy so nothing is siezeing up, as soon as I put the plug back in is hard again, its so hard infact that it makes it difficult to pull it over fast enough to start it, has anyone else had this problem or can make any suggestions as to what could be the cause? Thanks guys, Dave.

that makes me feel so much better

I think I would have to agree with Norman, people come at something like this fom different angles, at the end of the day, no one was hurt and it did not lead to any serious effects on the sport, I think if anything it serves to remind us and others that proper training and a sound knowledge of all aspects of flying is paramount before taking to the skys.

under "clothing" what exactly is a "T shit"

Cheers mate, let me know

point taken, it was just an idea I was toying with, thanks for the info Gordon.

a couple of reasons the first the wieght being lower down may be a bit more manageble but the main one being in the event of a fire I dont want the tank to melt and send flaming fuel down the back of my kneck.

I will take it, can you PM me your details. Cheers, Dave.

Hi Nigel, check your PMs
