Sounds like a pretty good deal. During the course of constructing my Europa I've used my band saw on numerous occasions. That's not to say a jig saw wouldn't suffice, however, it has made the job at

It's been some time since I completed this task but as I recall it was pretty straight forward. I started at the root tip and worked towards the trailing edge outboard trim tab. Firstly, I laid out

I wouldn't recommend using 100 glycol in any engine, especially if you are trying to fix a hot spot. Granted adding glycol to water will increase the boiling point of the mixture (H2O and glycol), bu

Just how did you rework the clearances? I too have stiff roll control which is directly related to temperature. I am getting ready to bond the cockpit module to the fuselage and would be interested i

Geraint, you might like to try Bob Archer's products. I know of several Europas that are using his antennas. They are priced around $60 USD for each of the Com and TX. He is quite familiar with our p

For those builders that have installed an emergency locator transmitter (ELT), what is the preferred location for the radio and the antenna? I have purchased an Ameri-King AK-450 which has a quaterwa

Klaus, I have a 914 and was wondering how I could intercept the fuel supply line to the carbs. On the 914 there is pressure control block that has four ports: fuel input, return fuel flow, fuel to po

Tim, how many hours do you currently have on your Europa? Just curious if this is going to be a regular wear item requiring frequent replacement. Thanks Erich Trombley A028

Hi all. To those building a tri-gear, I am considering adding electric flaps to my mono-wheel. I have seen only the flap motor in a tri-gear at Sun-n-fun. My questions are, do the flaps have multiple

To all you folks using a 914 turbo can anyone please advise me on the location of the waste gate motor control. The manual states it should be mounted in the cabin on top of the tunnel. Later the man
