We're trying to assemble the mono landing swing arm. The tube LG02A that goes into LG02B for the bungee cord is incredibly tight fit. Anyone else found this? Do you just drive it thru or open up the
Trying to install the factory fairings on XS wing. I find the fairings don't fit very well - almost like the radius of the curve is too great which leaves a large (10mm) gap between the fairing and t
Does anyone have data on what the actual fuel flow going to and returning a 914 is? Trying to get the proper sensors the first time! Thanks for all the input on the wing root fairings. We ended up sl

Just to let everyone know, EAA Chapter 221 is hosting Bob Nuckoll's seminar in Kalamazoo, MI on March 20 & 21. Check the AeroElectric website for details. www.aeroelectric.com/seminars Thanks Jim But

Paul, Our kit came with a Europa Owners Manual, a 8 1/2" x 5" book. The weight and balance information is in there. If you didn't receive the book, I can copy that chapter for you. I would guess John
How does one disconnect the cable from the wastegate servo from the engine so that the servo can be mounted inside the firewall and then get it readjusted so that it operates properly? Jim Butcher A1
Hi Robin, I am the "Heather" of "Jim & Heather Butcher A185". We are building a monowheel XS with 914 with both sets of wings. It should be flying this summer, possibly in time for Osh, with the shor
Is anyone interested in a Europa builders / pilot forum at SNF? I'm thinking of an informal session where we introduce ourselves and share experiences. If there's interest, I'll sign up for it. Any p
