I refitted my silencer last week, after removing it to replace all the hoses. It was a real struggle to get the spring back on over the hook, by using long nose vice grips to pull it up and over the hook. I found it much easier to compress the springs by inserting a screwdriver in the bottom of the spring, and pushing upwards to compress the spring, and then slip the top loop over the hook, rather than using the vice grips to pull the spring upwards and over the hook. Unfortunately, I only discovered this on the last spring !

Now its easy to grab the loose end of the loop with a mole grip or your locking wire pliers and pull the hook up to the loop o n the exhaust.Actually I think I hooked it to the top loop then pulled it d own.Graham On Sunday, 3 July 2016, 20:18, BobD wrote: Just a tip for fitting the springs.

They could get the 82-14-260-20's, but they don't hold them in stock, so you'd have to buy a box of 100 and about 76. They already have the zinc plated versions and can supply as many of as few as you require.

You can position the exhaust exactly where you need it with all the springs located, then just snip the tie-wraps. It save on skin and bad language. All the best.

However, this morning, I set the QNH according to the current METAR and as I drove past the airport, avAltimeter reported the altitude as ~50ft below the published altitude of the airport (published altitude of the airport is 40ft, my reported altitude was -10ft!). Does there need to be an option to calibrate the iPhone?

I just wired the pitch motor to the Dynon-AP panel, then re-wired the existing trim switch to provide a switched earth to the appropriate pin on the AP panel depending on which way you press it. It works like a dream and allows you to perform the simulated trim run-away test required by the LAA. All the best.

I've tried the PG-44A from Newgate Simms. It's great. I put in on the upper face of the friction plate. Now I can easily steer my plane easily and I don't get the nose-wheel shimmy when landing.
