To clarify my last message - the landing fee at Humberside was 400 UK
pounds, not as converted to Matronics currency!

Hi All,
I thought some were using this inlet to get cool air induction to the 912S
carbs instead of cutting one in the top of the cowling. But I don't know for
sure since mine is a classic.

Hi Guys
To put it in perspective, I made an emergency landing in my Twin Com 18
months ago at Lyon St Expurey (probably equivalent to Luton in traffic
terms) when an engine disintegrated and blew a big hole in the cowling.
We shut the airport for 15 minutes while we got down. The aeroplane was
then parked on their GA ramp (for GA at St Expurey read Gulfstreams,
Falcons etc - not 40 year old Twin Coms) for FOUR MONTHS. Total bill
for landing and parking two hundred and twenty pounds stirling. Plus
the amount of help I got organising maintenance and running me about the
field was incredible.
Makes 400 for one landing sound just a bit exceesive!
Regards
Pete

David,
Let me get this right...I did the conversion....you were charged the
equivalent to $800 just to land your plane! How could they justify this charge?
Are
these airports owned by private companies? Is there no allowance by the
government for deviations due to weather?
Maybe it's time for a little revolution over on your side of the pond.

Gee, and here was I grizzling about the USD28 that NZ's largest airport,
Auckland International, charged me to land and park a Europa for eight
hours!!! GBP400 for a landing fee is extortionate.

It shouldnt be necessary as they are supposed to be factory balanced.
If you must do your own, Lyndhurst in UK does one (inported from USA). Cost
is about 1000. I believe it can also be loaned/ hired (presumably though
only in the UK).

Duane ,
When we get the hell out of Europe we will call it a revolution
specially for you and it just may be closer than some folks think !
Don't really know why you helped save them ! Our minimum 3rd party and
Passenger insurances are having to be reviewed due to the Brussells
Little Hitlers. Trouble is the general population isn't yet awake as to
how we are being stuffed, when they wake up it will then be a
revolution.

Humberside is normally 12 +vat @17.5% PER LANDING When it is officially
open for a Europa size aircraft. The excessive charge would probably
include for a fine for landing out of published open hours and include
for payments to such as fire crew to be activated to stand by.
Palma Majorca is about 9.00 to land but then you just may get caught by
a handling agent for another 70.!I think Luxemburg was about 6.00 plus
an extortionate compulsory bus ride to control.!
I was threatened with a 200 fine for landing at Biggin Hill 30 minutes
early, seems with no fire cover and you pranged on the runway the
airport would have to be closed !

Bob Harrison.

Hi Folks,
> It shouldnt be necessary as they are supposed to be factory balanced.
The propeller may be well balanced when brand spanking new but by the
time it has been attached to the aircraft and a spinner popped on the
front it is very likely to need balancing.
In the unlikely event that the prop/spinner combo are perfectly
balanced to start with, they won't stay that way for ever due to dings
on the blades. Apparently, if you take a propeller off and replace it
1/1000" out of centre then that will produce a noticeable amount of
vibration.
I believe from my communications with an experienced prop balancing
guy in the USA that around 80% of all propellers would benefit from
being balanced but most people don't bother because they believe their
installation is smooth enough. Most people are wrong!

Actually, it's manufactured in the UK by my company (Smart Avionics),
it costs 850 GBP + VAT (no VAT for non-EU exports!) and as far as I
know, cannot be loaned or hired yet.
<start sales blurb>
Traditionally, the equipment required to dynamically balance
propellers has been very expensive and complicated to use. Since the
PB-1 has become available, I believe that is no longer true.
A large amount of effort has gone into the design of the PB-1 to make
it easy to use by your average homebuilder/pilot. Once familiar with
the operation of the PB-1, someone who isn't a technical wizzard can
balance a propeller in just a few minutes (obviously this depends on
the state of the propeller/engine being basically ok).
For development purposes, I have balanced the PV-50 propeller on
G-NEAT many times now and as the balancing equipment matured, the
results I achieved got better and better. Every time I went flying
afterwards, I could feel the improvement. But now the prop vibration
level is so low (less than 0.05 IPS) that it is completely masked by
engine/airframe vibration.
When propeller balancing is easy to achieve and the equipment to do
the job is (relatively) cheap, there aren't many good reasons for not
having your prop balanced on a fairly regular basis. You know it makes
sense.
www.smartavionics.com has more information on the PB-1 including the
operating manual that explains how the thing is used.
<end sales blurb>
Cheers,
Mark

If it was a 'fine' then it would be easily resisted. One individual cannot

I should just like to endorse Mark's comments.
My original Warp Drive used to vibrate considerably, but much of that might
have been due to the Classic spinner. I had a go at balancing the spinner
statically in a dustbin (garbage can) full of water and that improved it a
little. I then changed my prop for an Arplast PV50 VP prop and the
vibration was much worse, so I had a go at dynamically balancing it by trial
and error by placing washers under the spinner screws and judging whether
there was an improvement or not. (The cost of dynamically balancing at that
time was over 150) I certainly achieved an improvement, but after a while
it became too difficult to detect any further improvement or if it has
worsened. Mark then made me a vibration detector which registered the
magnitude of vibration on my Multimeter, and that helped tremendously, but
took an awfully long time because it didn't tell me where to place the
weights or how heavy they should be. I did that by trial and error, but I
didn't have to rely on my own sense to detect an improvement. I ended up
with several piles of washers on the spinner backplate plus one small slab
of steel because I couldn't find any washers heavy enough! I also
discovered that it was very important how the device was mounted on the
engine to be the most effective. Mark's device was fine but it could really
have been improved with some form of damping to stop the multimeter numbers
from changing so rapidly. Since then I have been a "guinea pig" several
times for Mark as he has been developing his PB-1 prop balancer. Each time
there has been a distinct improvement and my prop now runs very smoothly.
I can certainly recommend Mark's PB-1; it is easy and quick to use and it
achieves very good results. Very well done, Mark.
Best wishes,
William

Gosh, I do feel for you Brits! I have been charged $5.00 (USD) once for
landing at Seattle-Tacoma International and nowhere else.... I didn't pay

Hmm, but then again you don't have to put up with Bush...
