No not the XRX
Both Brian Tarmar and I have the Zaon MRX PCAS. I will leave Brian to
comment on his experience. Mine is mounted in a clip (made from Bid) on
top the panel, in the centre. This is low enough not to obstruct
forward vision but is easy to see. Seems to work OK.
Sorry but too poor to afford a XRX at present.

Hope to not hear this noise when flying long wing (or short wing) Europa:

Scroll down and watch mini video of flutter.

Ian, Thanks.
It only has to prevent one midair to prevent your relatives and dependents
being poorer still! And in reducing the value of the Europa to scrap.
There was a 'statistic' mentioned on the Flyer forum recently that less than
half the UK GA fleet has a transponder fitted (less still turned on and
working!); and that was EXcluding microlights etc. So the potential
effectiveness of the system is in that case somewhat limited, in addition to
the danger of the false sense of security that the device may engender.
Still, I wouldn't mind having one and could justify it more than the cost of
some other toy, eg a VP prop.
Regards,
Duncan.

| Subject: | Mono-wheel gear retraction |
After being installed for seven years and about 400 flight hours, I am unab
le to fully retract my landing gear after take-off.
Retraction commences easily enough but resistance rapidly builds and near t
he end of the stroke resistance builds to a point where I end up with max e
ffort about three mm short of the uplock shoulder. This difficulty has bee
n growing over a period of time--but in the past overcome by pushing harder
. Gear extension is easy with no problems.
Is this simply a bungee problem? Have others experienced a bungee age prob
lem where the bungee had to be replaced? If so, how does one attack the re
placement procedule? Would a slightly thicker bungee be better? Looks lik
e the job will be quite involved.
Or, if the bungee should still be good, could there be some mechanical or m
isalignment problem?
