From: "clivesutton" Classic Mono G-YETI took its first flight yesterday evening from Turweston Aerodrome and with Andy Draper at the controls. No vices though a few adjustments to make (of course). Original builder Gerry Cole put in 5500 hours of work over 13 years, it then was bought by Malcolm Hendra who did some of the pre-paint prep and added FF parts. I bought the mostly finished kit 121 in 2014 and finished it off. My thanks to my inspector Roger Targett and all in the Europa Club who have proffered encouragement and help.

So far so good. Never really thought about the possibility of the mech pump starving the electrical pumps but i see what youre saying. Hasnt happened so far. Its a common set up here. My engine is a turbo 912 which i normally run at 33". There are folk here who run these at 37 or higher. They use the same fuel set up. It only needs one electrical pump btw. I will probably remove my second pump in due course. Will On Jun 13, 2017 20:36, "Robert Borger" wrote: Will, I can understand the principle. It is something to consider.

From: "italianjon" Hi all, So, I've finished the new cockpit module and I'm almost ready to install it. The only tool I am missing is a crimp tool for the TNC connectors for the Trig VHF and XPDR. I need to reroute the antenna cables because I'm moving the most bring positions (of radios were panel mounted, the trigs are going behind the rear bulkhead) Does anyone have a crimp tool they could send me to borrow for a week or so towards the end of July or into August?
