Bugs
I carry a bucket, leather and bug-buster cloth in my flying machines. If I am touring I carry a couple of litres of water too.
If you wash the prop and leading edges etc. after every flight, the bugs come off easily.
Leave them on, especially in the sun, and you spend hours doing what would otherwise have taken you minutes if you could have been @rsed at the time.
I get my bug busters from Rise and Shine or Mick Allen Resprays at Turweston. I think Halfords may do a similar product?
For those who have never seen one, the Bug Buster is a material with the texture of felt. They are terrific for removing bugs without risk of damage to paint (use only a squeaky clean leather on transparencies.....).
Anybody know of a bulk supplier for Bug Busters?
Leathers? My local garage sells full skin leathers for seven quid! I cant imagine a bulk supplier beating that!
Seasons greetings to all.
