Yes, the potentially low running cost of a Europa can easily be eroded this way. I too hav met the reluctance to allow for the smaller area taken up by a trailer. I am seriously of thinking of disman
Bill Wynne's puncture during landing is the second reported . Has it started alarm bells ringing at Europa ? After all, two frame distortions provoked Mod.37. In 30 years of flying I have never had (
<for that reason I'd prefer to mount the caliper up and back.> (miles m) I discussed this with other builders and the factory some time back and have just rotated it 120 deg. Unfortunately with it al
Yes mine has stretched for sure. At the least the "ill wind" of removing the frame for mod.37 has made it easy to retension - this time. Maybe we will have to store them with the gear up ?! Graham C.
Where does that come from ? - you certainly need the spring rate and weight of a/c to calculate it. If it were 9g a half ton a/c would appear to be 4 1/2 tons unless you have a weird slide rule Ron.
Ok Ron, sorry if your slide rule (whatever that is ? (:-))) was offended - still want to see where the 9 g comes from . At the very surface of the tyre the vertical velocity goes on arrival to zero,
<<this is an instantaneous shock load and not a sustained load.> (Tony) Quite so - a very high impulsive g could be measured at the tyre surface when landing on a hard surface but due to the complian
Undoubtedly a highly desirable addition - the simplest is probably just a small panel fixed to the top of the arm intersecting the tangent to the tyre along which most of the stuff flies. However thi
<Come on, you have to tell us where.> Ok Tony I'll come clean,.(even if the madflups fail (:-)). I have long found that throwing maps "over the back" meant you couldn't get them when you wanted them.
<<50 % of the time spent will be head scratching> Add about 10% for explanations to spouse. e.g. Why do we now have a part-grey hall carpet ?. Where did our black cat go to, and where did the white o
Pondering the equations for the dropped frame, while reading Tony's global transit intentions, it occurred to me that the best way from Auckland to Edinburgh is to jump into an evacuated hole bored b
If you want a cheap and cheerful solution, use plastic closures from orange-juice packs. Can give you the brand if you want, but if you browse the supermarkets you will probably find lots of products
<<what sort of life expectancy does the hinge have?>> Yes Denys, they are just thin plastic hinges, but I wound one back and forth a hundred times and it didn t fall off. Even if you derig (or look i
Well I don't know that its better, but I just wasn't able to use discs on the T-bar as the port size of my fin closeout it virtually against the aperture -( it came out this way due having to trim a
I have fitted RD Aviation's IFR-EL set and ACL100 strobe. The latter has its power unit integral below the lamp so fitting/wiring is easy. Just a dorsal hole above the baggage compartment. Plastic co
I fitted locks after the doors were complete. Barrel locks with levers are in the Maplin catalogue, and I persuaded them into a matched pair of keys. Then cut a 35 mm hole just above the rear rod cab
