Hi, I just finished installing the flap drive mechanism. My assumption was that the strap on the outboard flap hinge determined the maximum flap extension, i.e. 30 degrees. So when I installed the fl
It is nice to read all this information and opinions. I believe the Europa was originally designed for 30 degrees flaps. It seems to me that you don't deliberately design for 27 degrees, but choose a
Glass neither paint will hinder the performance. In the worst case you have to retune the antenna, but this is not likely. It is best to leave the aerial tuned to the lower part of the band until the
I received this AD as well for my Filser equipped Cessna, and it just means that I'm grounded as transponders are mandatory here (unless you stay in class G, below 1200ft.) According to the maintenan
Hi Raimo, I also decided to use a Trio Avionic's EZ Pilot. I've built it in, but I'm not flying yet. Their customer support is great indeed! Installation is pretty straightforward, I linked the servo
Did I miss something, or is there indeed a silence about this subject? I'm about to install a Woodcomp propellor, but I'm holding this off until I have some more insight about the reliability of this
Hi Jos and all, Ok, I understand that. It is just that a few days ago you wrote that you were going to post more detailed information the next day, but I never saw it, so I wondered what happened. Gl
A CS prop keeps the rotation speed constant (hence the name Constant Speed prop). The RMP gauge doesn't tell you the engine power anymore, it shows just the prop setting. If you fly with a certain rp
I'm following this subject with interest. I thought that the general consensus is that we try to avoid putting unneccesary weight in our little aircrafts. How usefull is a fire extinguisher actually?
Hello Raimo, If it is for on the ground, CO2 would be fine. I don't think so. Your main objective is getting down, as fast as possible. Fruitless attempts to extinguish the fire and partly choking yo
Hi Jos, I search to minimise the risk. Not eliminate, but minimize. So I will still fly, but without non closeable fuel sight leaking sources around me, and with no other fuel paths (and potential le
I'm building a tri-gear, and cut out the bottom of the fuselage for the nose gear per instructions. Apparently, the idea in the manual is to leave it as is. What are the aerodynamic properties of thi
[quote:6d7c3b23c0="josok"]Frans, and all, Airplanes are full of compromises. However you put it, there will always a risk factor. It may sound funny, but the best way to stay out of fires is not to c

This was established with a lot of testing needed for the new High top (Mod 64b).[/quote:27bb034c16] What is the effect of this hi top mod on max speed and cruise speed? Frans Visit - www.EuropaOwner
Hi Ian, You might be interested to know that we have incorporated a modified mod64b, that is, we have lowered the forward section only by 3,5 cm (about halfway), and made it parallel with the lower f
