Two new ships are going to be built for an upcoming season – Saturn glider and Curtiss Robin
// Stanley J. Stembera // Aircraft Tags: Comet, Curtiss Robin, Jiri Michalovic, Joe Konefes, Saturn No Responses

// Stanley J. Stembera // Workshop Tags: Coil check, Ignition, Ignition coil 1 Response
The ignition coil is one of the most important elements in the ignition circuitry. Although this device is quite simple there are only a few resources written about its functionality checks. My friend Frantisek has posted a short article about how to do this by using just a multimeter.

Just one day after the MECA event in Oberbalm, Sunday the 2nd of June last year, we have met us again at Mühlethurnen. Sunshine, gentle breeze and pleasant temperature promised to be a nice day for flying again.
