I have not yet been able to find anyone with experience of finishing a composite aircraft in Bogota so I was thinking that this might be an interesting alternative.

Where the there was a major colour ie white, light blue (underneath wings) - this was painted. While computer cut graphics give great flexibility in your design I caution you, it is not how it looks after completion but how it looks in 4 years time. Looking after vinyl graphics on a plane is a lot more difficult than looking after paint, vinyl can get tatty, do not like being exposed to 120 knot winds and do not have the same lustre finish as paint. Knowing what I know now I would probably have done my design in paint rather than vinyl. Trust this helps Cheers Peter -------- Peter Armstrong Auckland, New Zealand DynAero MCR-4S (Do not shoot me :) ).

From: "italianjon" Hi All, I am wondering if it is possible to purchase a few O-Rings for a Rotax Carb, without buying the complete and expensive overhaul kit. I have a couple that are missing and/or cracked. Using Fig 73-14 of the latest issue Heavy Maintenance Manual as a guide, I am looking for 2 x O-Rings that dampen the needle (38) and 1 x O-Ring for the Idle Mixture Screw (37).
