From: "Remi Guerner" William, I did just the opposite (replacing my 914 with a 912S) 11 years ago. The difference in take off performance was not very significant except when using high altitude airstrips. Stay with the more reliable 912S, you will avoid the hassle and higher cost of maintaining the 914.

Hi William I have had no difficulty with the 912ULS, Woodcomp SR3000. It's a super combination. Agree with the comments of David and Graeme. Would further add, go back to basics. I have my own folding distance measuring wheel. Get one, they are only 10. I know this sounds really boring but: MEASURE THE STRIP. Who said it was 450 metres and when? HOW HIGH IS THE HEDGE YOU ARE CLEARING. Hedges keep growing and that take off and landing run, imperceptibly become more pressured. HOW STEEP IS THE slope As well as the usual: wind speed, direction , rain, length of grass, wet/not wet, air temperature et al. Unless the airfield is licensed treat all the distances as doubtful unless you prove it to yourself.

Hopefully my visit this week to Bud's shop will start my poor engine on its course to recovery and flight status. The altimeter app "avAltimeter" is up to version 1.0.7 and now allows for setting the field elevation via GPS or manually or using the Kollsman window with either metric or imperial units. I've collected pictures of the app being used in a variety of interesting aircraft cockpits at: http://www.aviametrix.com/avaltimeter-in-action/ I've also written a weather app which may be of interest to some here on the Europa list. Although I have yet to physically test it in the UK or the EU, I have simulated its presence across the pond and it seems to work fine for METAR reports world wide. It is a very simple, one trick pony app, but it does what I thought was useful (for me at least). When you run the app, it gets your geographic location by GPS or other means, and fetches the closest METAR reports. No map scrolling or typing needed. You can fetch 25, 50 100 miles radius of station reports and sort them by distance to you, by heading, or by age. If you want to be a weanie, you can tap any particular station and the app will translate the METAR into english. The app is called AvWx and it is in the App store.
