Does anyone know of a standard fix for the easily broken air vent mechanism (no longer made or available) ? Patrick Mountain - port vent for Europa 914
Thanks Ferg - yes the original part is a bit flimsy and I guess quite a few small mods have been put together to cover the lack of spares. I will do something along the lines you suggest. Patrick
I am concerned that my fairly recently acquired Tri Gear 914 has is no parking brake and no hold down points. This is fine when I am flying from home and hangaring every time but when touring I need
It is a golden rule NEVER to push an aeroplane by the spinner. It may crack and be distorted which has been known to increase imbalance so much in flight that the propeller etc has parted company wit
Jeff - I have looked at your tie down solution and quite like it. I am going to do something like that but maybe, as you suggest, with only fixing ring protruding from the bottom of the flap fairing.

I have had a couple of replies to my previous question of how to fit a left hand throttle. Neither of those received seemed very satisfactory and I wonder if there are any other ideas around, or even

I am interested in the various comments about the 914 and I appreciate the advantage of flying up there in the stratosphere. Here in the u.k. and in Europe generally it is seldom necessary to fligh s
re; 914 v. 912S engines. Patrick engages in complete and uninformed speculation: Patrick, if you have a question ask it. If you are clueless, don't decrease the SNR in this group Ira N224XS 912S 160h
Ira, I appreciate your comments. I am, however, not overly pleased to be described as a 'Newby'. which may be true as far as this list is concerned, but after some 50 years + of aviation, including c
Someine gave me a little red ball to mark the fuel level but I was told not to use it with mogas (or was it avgas?), as it would get saturated and sink. Worth enquiring. Patrick
The email from Matt Carpenter is useful but other Recent correspondence about 914s and wastegates, bears out my suspicion that Rotax have not issued any specific detailed instructions about the opera
