Technical

Welcome to the Technical Page.

This page is intended to give Owners & Builders the opportunity to share ideas with other Club Members, to act as a forum for the solution of problems and offer general advice on building and operating the Air Camper.

Additionally, this page gives details and drawing sets for the Standard Modifications available that have been developed, and in conjunction with LAA Engineering, agreed and implemented on various existing aircraft.

TABLE 1: LAA MANDATORY MODIFICATIONS

Modifications made MANDATORY by LAA Engineering. These must be read in conjunction with LAA Engineering TADS Type 47. (See www.LAA.UK.COM)

TABLE 2: PROTOTYPE MODIFICATIONS

Standard Type Modifications (or REPEATS) agreed with LAA Engineering covering the most common types of Mod requested by Builders to incorporate into their Project. It is also intended to clarify some areas of uncertainty in the original 047 Series Drawing Sets purchased. Remember, these Mods are still subject to LAA Engineering final acceptance procedures such as your normal Log Book entry, a ‘Repeat Mod Implementation Slip’ and so on. They will still attract a fee (currently £22.50). Full details of this new arrangement can be read in the March 2009 edition of ‘Light Aviation’, pages 46-48.

However, if you wish to implement your own unique Modification, you should apply to LAA Engineering in the normal way.

MOST IMPORTANT : WHEN DOWNLOADING DRAWING SETS, ENSURE THAT A COMPLETE SET IS RUN OFF, OTHERWISE IMPORTANT DATA COULD BE MISSED. ALL DRAWINGS CLEARLY SHOW THE FULL NUMBER OF PAGES THAT COMPLETE THE SET. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR MOD 10595 - PULLEYS & CABLE RUNS.

Also shown are some other Builders mods that may be of interest along with a number of Engineering Concessions.

Note: The complete set of engineering drawings for all Mods has yet to be loaded . This should be completed by end June ’09. If you have an urgent requirement for any missing item, please contact Peter Wright at peter.wright1@mypostoffice.co.uk
