"Twitchy" Ganat
 

The reason the Red's Gnats weren't twitchy was because they had the Mark 4 Hobson unit with reduced sensitivity unlike the valley Gnats which had the Mark 5.

Explains my crap formation flying then!

Helppp! Orpheus engine airframe set up
 

Hi all,

Long shot!

We're currently trying to help a gentleman set up an Orpheus Engine and he seems to have got himself in a bit of a pickle to say the least!
We've been helping part time from a manufacturers in kind point of view however what it really needs is an entrepreneur who owns say a Gnat and has the engine/airframe set up manuals and would be king enough to scan in a page or a so!

It’s for a worthy project – Project Blue bird!

Regards
