Thanks John, The problem is that we have a Classic Europa which is 1.5" closer to the ground and it seems that all current propellers (including the approved 1575 mm dia ones) would not pass the VLA

Pete, The wording quoted in my email is precisely as per the VLA manual. There is more on the subject further in the chapter but not relevant to the clearance issue. None the less I am inclined to ag

How much weight does adding a CS/ VP propeller actually add to an installation. For example an average VP prop is about 12.3 kg but if you are removing a ground adjustable prop what is the actual wei

Hi Jos and others who asked about the "inspectors" list. I may have given the impression that this is some sort of secret list but that isnt the case. It is simply a collection of notes relating to E

I believe that certain assumptions have been made here that are not necessarily true. ie: that the inspection process only took an hour and a half. The role of the "inspector" within the PFA is to su

The Skydrive kit is an accepted engine mod and you shouldnt have a problem with then PFA. The electric ones as far as I know are not an approved mod for the Europa unless someone has done this privat
