If any Europa owners are planning to fly in to Bicester on the Saturday and need a comfy bed for the night we would be happy to help. We only live 5 miles away from Bicester and are planning to atten
Today I received a suspicious email in several of my emailboxes subjectline "movie". Just to be sure I updated my virusscanner before attempting to open it (attachment was titled "your details"). As
This subject is probably now yesterdays news but we had a lot of problems with kinked cables before I found out the problem. Unfortunately if the outer sleeves are not routed right, the cable in the
Dont make the mistake we made of trying to balance the ailerons upside down (ie: with the hinges at the bottom). They must be done in the same orientation as though they were fitted to the wings (ie:
PS: Keep the drill cutter WELL lubricated and work your way up from a small drill size using correct drilling speed - not too fast. Keep the lead ends well clamped. If the drill bites into the lead t
Yup !!! Wings must be on upside down or brain not working. Hinges are on the bottom, not the top. To put it more simply balance the ailerons the correct way up (whichever way up that REALLY is on you
H Peter, Since my first flight (and especially since new dipstick) I have had the same concerns. I understand though that this is perfectly normal. If you look hard enough, the Rotax manuals suggest

Does anybody know if the Sywell Europa fly in tomorrow (Sunday 24th Aug) is still scheduled to go ahead. I noticed it in the Europa Club Mag but it isnt advertised anywhere else. Not sure who's organ
I have to endorse David Joyces "wedge of alloy" as a simple, cheap and effective parking brake. Ours is made of tufnol but the material is irrelavent. It is possible to apply as much or as little pre
Congratulations on your first flight. Your build took nearly as long as ours (and we thought we held the record!). We have been flying for a year now and it only seems like yesterday. The problem is
The flow sensor that Benwick uses is a RS part. http://rswww.com/ Mine used to have the part number stuck to it but I am sure it has dropped off. You should be able to search their web site anyway or
do we have to be retired to qualify for your offer ??? Otherwise i will have to wait for a little while longer ( or a long while if this government has its way !!!) I often have Wednesdays off (just
We had a problem earlier this week and wondered if anyone else has had the same. Started A/C and warmed up prior to taxi. After about 10 mins temp was indicating 160C (30 degrees above redline). Wate
Are we talking about the same sensor. The one I am referring to is a small bolt shaped plug which screws into the oil pump housing. There is a copper terminal post on the top which is connected to th
Thanks for the info Roger. It definitely sounds like it is the sender (will find out for sure tomorrow). However, like Richard and Fred I am a little confused as your description suggests the new arr
It turns out there is nothing wrong with the sensor although initial checks with the ohm meter suggested this was the problem. It seems to be much worse. and the problem is somewhere in the Grand Rap
Hi Graham, I emailed them and are waiting for a response. I think you may be right. My current theory (and hope) is that somehow the unit has switched from Centigrade to Farenheit without changing th
Does anyone that is flying have any views regarding the fitment of stall strips. We were initially advised that these were a bad idea and that an electric stall warner was a better option. From what
