Milos, I recall when my friend (who is a German glidr repairer and inspector) shimmed the ailerons to remove lateral play he used a fine drift and just knocked...
Steve, thanks for the info. My contact said they appeared to have a very professional operation and it certainly looks that way, I'm just waiting for a quote. ...
The pins are called roll pins and are essentially little springs that hold themselves in place. The main problem is not losing them when you drift them out. My...
Just few more comments about them. We bought a std Jantar what was repainted by Aerospool in 97. Most of the surface still shine as if it were brand new. ...
While flying #206 out at Ridge Soaring, one of the flight instructors was former Cirrus driver. He recommended against re-finishing - his experience is that...
Thanks to you all. I;ll do my best on my #184 and I have god news I just got another one #191 to play with. It wasn't been used for some 10 years and it needs...
Could some kind person please tell me what we should enter on the last four lines of document 274 page 1 ie. CAA CAP 747 issue/amendment......... EASA...
Colin, Unless you are the Inspector signing off the Transition pack, you do not make any entries in that part of the paperwork. The Inspector signing the forms...
Alastair , how are you progressing ? I have just been through all 744 pages of CAP747 and can only find reference to a Grob standard cirrus G, no SH standard...
All, Re. Flight Manuals - I recently found out that Southern Sailplanes are offering all the SH type FMs updated to latest version as accepted by CAA for...
I have a Winter m/s vario with a McCready speed to fly ring. Unfortunately the printing on the speed labels has largely disintegrated. It has a speed range on...
When I bought my Cirrus, it didn't have a McCready ring, so I calculated one based on the polar measured by Idaflieg. The following table lists the McCready...
Not strictly a Std. Cirrus question: In order to improve the effectiveness of cockpit ventilation, I am planning to install an air outlet in the rear part of...
I have built such an air outlet for my Genesis 2 in the fuselage opening that was originally designed for a ballastic chute. The NACA outlet does not have the...
Yes, I believe the company they mean is probably Aerospool in Slovakia (former Czechoslovakia so an understandable mistake) the web address is www.aerospool.sk...
Mine has the build number virtually all different and I'm reasonably confident they came from Schempp Hirth that way. The glider was damaged by a forklift on...
Gavin, I'll keep a watching brief for updates, with interest. Many thanks, Tony Lintott #214 Gavin Short <gavin_c_short@...> wrote: Tony, I will post...
Gavin, are you including all the following be included on sheet 274 "airworthiness directives and bga inspections" or am I overcomplicating it 278-1 n/a 278-2...
I just returned from Albuquerque where I presented the case for extreme performance at the 2008 SSA Convention. My data show that Dick Johnson flew at 100:0...
For what it is worth: We list only ADs that actually apply to the a/c in question. Seems to have worked on the 15 or so Transitions (including 1 Std ...
Jan, I was thinking about your problem and tried to post about the Jantar 1 which has NACA ducts either side of the fuselage. Fortunately as it turns out my...
Tony, I have been busy with work on the glider itself at the moment (panel modifications) prior to it going to a friend's glider servicing business for some...
Tony, I was going to follow Adrian's approach. Include only the ADs that apply to #173. However in my airworthiness file (as you have seen from my uploads) I...
Gavin, There is no such thing as a 30 day ticket any more - we submit the pack and Terry Eato does a check of the documentation (and sees if there is a cheque ...
Gavin and Don, thanks a lot for the information! Like the Jantars, some ASW 19s and 20s also have NACA inlets below the wing for ventilation. Maybe the...
I'm currently changing all the L'Hotellier Balls on my std cirrus. The necking has changed on the new balls. Looks like a mode was done to the spoiler plate...
Which country are you in John ? In Australia we are permitted to counterbore the plates on which the balls are mounted, but I don't know what the procedure is...
Where did you buy the balls and how much did you pay. My cirrus will be due for change for some 300 hours another one in 200 and two other open cirruses will...
Adrian, many thanks for your reply and advice. My comment about 30 day tickets was perhaps in anticipation of the CAA realsing that they can't cope in June and...
