Whilst refurbing my aircraft, I wanted to remove the wheels to clean out
the drums. I went to jack it on a block of wood bolted in between the
WAFs. It started to tip forward. Hence asking the question.
The CG may be a little bit further aft with the wings attached, but not
a lot, so the advic
I recently did my canopy, I used Sikaflex 295 UV - I guess the UV bit
implies some UV resilience .
It's a varient on the stuff used to hold windshields in, and is much
easier to use than epoxy, it takes hours to set, so you have plenty of
time to fiddle around.

Mark,
I don't know too much about transponders, but I guess the little red
light comes off the back of the receiver amplifier, and that it just
responds to RF and does not care too much about the frequency.
Co-ax cable is very, very good at shielding signal, nothing gets out of
