Local Europa pilots have been very positive about the venue and it has good ratings on Trip Advisor. We are hoping for good flying weather to allow folk the pleasure of being able to fly to the dinner. We will plan to have a system to offer lifts to anyone flying in. The hotel is reserving rooms at a reduced rate only until 25th August and those intending to come should contact the hotel directly to book a room. The dinner itself should be booked through Irene Watson - full details including menu on the attached flyer. We are extremely grateful to Irene for the excellent work she has done in locating this venue and organising everything and we look forward to this proving a very successful and enjoyable event.

He walked away from the crash but with a sore back and cut hand, currently receiving attention in the JR Hospital in Oxford.

I do know that the manufacturer is Faulhaber in Germany, and so could have passed this information on. I did some research because I wanted to install a CSC-1 controlled and I know this works at 12V, instead of the 6V rated motor running at 9V from the standard Arplast PV50 controller. Which tends to lead to (I am told; not experienced this yet a TBF of about 200 hours before the motor burns itself out from the over voltage) What I haven't posted yet, but am wondering, is as the original part is 2224U006SR there is an mechanically identical 2224U012SR which runs at 12V. Has anyone replaced the motor with the 12V version? I can't see a reason not to replace with the 12V version. The rpm is slightly lower, but as it's heavily geared anyway, the speed reduction will probably be about 1rpm slower once it's passed through the gearbox. The torque is a little higher, but this shouldn't matter unless you hit the mechanical stop... which is what the micro-switches are there to protect.

Can anyone tell me the size of this 90 degree elbow BST fitting?andcan anyone tell me the size and thread type on the other end of that elbow which connects to the brake line? I ask these questions after just having ordered a stick-mounted Beringer HAB02 hand brake lever.
