Bulldog Student Study Guide
Hi there
Does anyone have, or know where I might find a pdf of the Bulldog Student Study Guide? I left OUAS 12 years ago, but it looks like I am going to be able to get some time in the mighty dog at my local club.
Any help appreciated!

Don't think we have one in PDF format, but try Roger Hayes (CFI) on 01285851311. Better still, come and join us. Nothing like formation flying.
I have both student study guide and instructors manual.

Can't help myself, but if you are on Facebook I know there is a Scottish Aviation Bulldog owners / operators group. It has a lot of Swedes, I think, but there are quite a few Brits on there as well, including at least one person I went through UBAS with. They might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction.

Maybe see you on Friday if Roger has the 'dog back? It was due back yesterday, but I haven't heard anything yet. I've been asked to write another magazine article which will feature Skysport UK.

I'm supposed to be leading that formation of 3! But, as usual, Roger is lacking in info. No reason why G-BCUS is not back by then.
Just looked on Kemble Cams and see that the Pup is not there, so I suspect it has gone to Biggen to pick up the dog.

I have PDFs of the various Bulldog manuals which I scanned myself from my original hard copies. However, as I'm still a signatory to 'the Act' I don't feel too warm and fuzzy about releasing these into the public domain. AFAICR they were all marked restricted. Is there any precedent on this?

The Bulldog fuel system includes a boost pump which provides sufficient fuel pressure to cope with aerobatics. The engine has an 'injector carburettor' rather than a simple old-fashioned float carburettor. The intake senses air pressure demands; differential air pressure then controls a fuel metering ball valve through which fuel flows to a flow divider and thence to each cylinder. A sort of poor man's fuel injection system - but which worked well except for hot restarts on the ground which were often problematic as the flow divider became heat-soaked.
The limiting factor for inverted flight was oil pressure - normally detected by the prop rpm decreasing as the CSU went to coarse pitch with reducing oil pressure. I gather that a mod. was introduced after my time which was supposed to fix this.
The Bulldog is slightly larger and heavier than the Pup and has a 200 hp Lycoming. Ser.1 Pups had a 100 hp R-R Continental, Ser.2 a 150 hp Lycoming and the rare Ser.3 Pup 160 had a 160 hp Lycoming. Nevertheless, the additional weight and drag of the Bulldog means that there is little difference in handling characteristics between the Pup and the Bulldog which have similar wing and power loading; both have light, well-harmonised control forces and fly beautifully.
Blunty, Roger tells me that the 'dog is back and looks stunning!
