    Subject: Fly-in/ Europa meet-up invitation (UK/ Europe)!
    From: "JonSmith" <jonsmitheuropa@tiscali.co.uk>
    On behalf of my home base - the North Coates flying club at North Coates airfield, just south of Grimsby on the East Coast of Lincolnshire I would like to offer an open invitation to our fly-in events this season. A bit like caravan clubs, owners of the same aircraft type like to meet up from time to time to compare their latest bits and bobs etc. North Coates airfield provides an ideal platform to do this, informal and friendly with plenty of space and good facilities. For these reasons our flying events this year are being supported by a few aircraft type-clubs such as the Vintage Piper Club, Miles Aircraft Association, Luscombe Association and the Jodel/ Robin Club which will add to the interest. Our events for the remainder of the 2017 season are: SPRING FLYING MEETING; 20th & 21st May WINGS AND WHEELS; 15th & 16th July SUMMER FLYING MEETNG; 27th & 28th August (Bank Hol Sun/ Mon) I would like to propose, so that we can maximise the chances of meeting up together that we have a loosely arranged time of arrival - aiming to arrive at about lunchtime, between 12.0 and 1.0pm on each day. We could initially aim for the first day as the main meet up with a weather fall back for the second day. I will post a reminder during the week leading up to each weekend, maybe people interested in coming along could reply on here so that we can see who might be coming along to meet up with. Why come to North Coates? Well, I'm a newbie having been a member here for just over three years but I have to say that it is THE most friendly and welcoming airfield that I have ever been to. Plus points of the North Coates flying events are: -Nice 760m grass runway. -Lots of heritage and history to see, particularly from the Cold War era including a small but well stocked and interesting museum, our "Heritage Room". -Free landings at all Flying Meetings. (Only 3 on normal days!) -Really excellent barbecued burgers etc - I challenge anyone to find a better burger anywhere...! Other snacks and drinks too. -VERY friendly Natives! (Not including myself in that as a relative newcomer to the area!), seriously the local - mostly longstanding - members are the friendliest people I have ever come across and are very enthusiastic and proud of their airfield and club. -Lovely views of the North East Lincolnshire Coast line including the River Humber, Humber Bridge, Cleethorpes and Donna Nook, home of a large colony of Grey Seals which can usually be spotted from the air on the beach! -Various ground-based exhibits invited such as military, car & motorcycle clubs, charity and other stalls including our local delicious home-made jam supplier lady! The RAFA club often attend. -If we are lucky then from time to time a fly-past by something interesting may well occur - more than once we have had an impromptu "rescue" demonstration on the airfield by the Search and Rescue Sikorsky S-92 helicopter locally based at Humberside. So, please put the dates in your diaries! More info on our club and airfield can be found here; www.northcoatesflyingclub.co.uk Cheers, Jon Smith -------- G-TERN Classic Mono Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=467285#467285

    Subject: Design of "manufacturers" info plate
    Here in colombia the antinarcotics police have to inspect the aircraft before one can get an official manufacturers plate from the caa which is kinda like an id card for the plane. However the antinarcotics police wont inspect the aircraft without the official plate..... Anyway i have to invent something which looks official. Could you send me pictures of such a thing of it exists elsewhere.....ti give me ideas for the design Will

    Subject: Woodcomp prop diameter for a Classic
    From: "G-ODTW" <dave@robotas.co.uk>
    We are considering fitting a wobbly Woodcomp with a diameter of 1625 mm on our 80hp Classic. This would reduce our tip clearance by 27mm compared with our 62" dia Warpdrive. Probably not an issue, but comments would be very welcome! -------- David Walters 01474 816817 dave@robotas.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=467296#467296

    =?UTF-8?B?IEJhV8O8? I have been asked by the OUV (LAA equivalent) to name an examiner who would accompany me during the build: "Es kann auch ein Prfer Klasse 3 mit Berechtigung bis 750 kg sein." Is there any examiner reading this or anyone who can recommend one or point me in the right direction? Help is much appreciated. Location EDT[G/R]. Simon
