    You could also add the Dove which accompanied ‘XC. 🙂

    Dad went and told me about the green Jag – yuck! Smashing pics and well done for up close photos of pilots as well (we do exist inside the aircraft). Shameful Mr CAA that wheels off tarmac is not committed at such an event! The home vid showed the only flying a/c to be a Bolkow and a Gazelle (PA28 above accepted)

    Let the CAA aircraft register be your friend

    I saw it today taxying on the far East side amongst the “dead” Emerald HS748 and thought it also to be a ‘748. Only when it pulled up outside on the West apron did I clock it and confirmed the reg N631MW. A rare beastie.

    Anyone know what it is doing at Coventry?

    Here are Barry’s photos (attached).

    Extra vs Mazda? Flown former and driven latter. Extra every time. Are they trying to associate their boring cars with the bonkers madferrit Extra?

    Aircraft register for SIXC shows an expired CofA and a “Change of C of A details in progress”. Am I warm?

    You’ll need to elucidate :confused:

    Moggy

    How they improved on the RV6 to the RV7 (also applies to RV4 to RV8)

    But the biggest difference is the kit. Computer aided design and computer controlled production tools mean that the parts fit exactly as they should. Traditionally, the task of locating, aligning, drilling and preparing the thousands of rivet holes has fallen to the airplane builder. It’s not particularly difficult, but it is repetitious and there are many opportunities for error. In the “matched hole” RV-7/7A kit, a computerized punch press locates and punches all the rivet holes during manufacture, so the builder can pull the parts out of the box, align the holes and begin assembly immediately.

    Yes please 🙂

    Moggy

    Mark A who posts here (and Ben Twings elsewhere) has one and recently completed its build.

    The RV4 is cleared for aeros in the UK too. Sounds like an ideal PFA aircraft apart from the matched hole/rivet issue. Shame the later similar models like the -8 aren’t (bureaucratically) cleared.

    Oops!

    First time I have had to clear out my private massages on this board and I have been registered here since forever.

    Just found a photo of moggy sat on a bench with a hot thermos looking 30 years his senior. Now if only I could photoshop in the rug onto his lap!

    I know microlights use it. Try contacting the LMAC.org.uk guys at Swinford if you get stuck.
