ICAO Type Designator Assigned
On November 4th an ICAO type designator was allocated for the Flight Design MC. When flying this plane, please refer in your ATC flight plans to ”FDMC”.
The CT has had a type allocator for many years and that is ”FDCT” for all types
Trutrak Servo Bulletin
For Flight Design Aircraft Equipped with Trutrak autopilots:
Recent reports have suggested that there could be a problem with the new
integrated thread-locker servo arm screws that have been sent out for retrofit by
customers in the field. Reports indicate that the screw could back out of its hole
in the end of the servo shaft during normal usage. The suspected cause is residual
chemical thread-locker in the threads of the servo shaft which was the previous
method for locking the arm screws in place.
Trutrak Flight Systems will include the bracket with all new servos shipped with the current servo arm screw. This bracket will also be available to all customers with the current servo arm screw configuration as a field retrofit solution.
Another Great Flight!
I got these shots today from a lucky CTLS pilot who is helping us by taking a CTLS to AOPA and is over Mt Shasta in California. Not bad for a cell phone shot
I think he was trying to make us all feel bad because we were not there.
Looks like a great day to be flying.
