As long as your earth wiring is robust there will be no problem. However if you want to cater for the worst case wire the earth to the regulator earth connection. Any loss of earth wiring elsewhere i
I have fitted 2 sets of cables now having recently changed the front end of my Europa to XS specification. In both cases I took care to ensure the smoothest of routing for the cables and cut them to
Hi Cliff I did not submit the photo with my article. As I was unable to supply any photos I think Peter our editor inserted the photo to add a bit of visual interest. Sorry if it caused any embarrass
I have a very simple idea from my inspector who works on gliders. Buy a sheet of white self adhesive circular discs about 50mm diameter. As well as the tail plane pip pins these can be used to cover
My inspector directed me to a small company dealing in stationery. I have since run out and must get some more. It would be good if someone found a mailorder company selling them because it would tak
If it is difficult to find these discs ready cut to shape it should be possible to buy sheets of white sticky back plastic from a hardware store but then you have the tedious business of cutting circ
It helps to mark the orientation of the hole on the head of the pip pin because it is not easy to see when the pin is installed. I found that the small long nosed pliers I carry in my travelling tool
This is the first I have heard of such a significant overlap. To avoid a potential major error take time to check your cowl fitting thoroughly. The limitation of the fore-aft position of the cowl is
good match for the Europa, indeed. But, to me, "real engines don't have sparkplugs". I'll put a diesel wherever I can.< If you are set on having a diesel you might be better considering the Wilksch
I drilled a pair of holes as close to the edge of the door as practical to retain rigidity. These holes were for nutserts(available from Wicks)allowing blind fixing of door pulls. These have been in

The builder who carried out this mod is Peter Kember. He was the first customer to complete a Europa and has since built another one but I am not sure whether he carried out this mod second time arou
I might be available to go to Brimpton. I have already used my Enstone voucher. When we went to Enstone about a week ago they were very helpful and friendly but it was more a case of tea/coffee and c
I assume we are talking about a Rotax engine? The first check is to confirm it is not an indication problem. If the voltage at the regulator output is less than 13 volts at say 3000rpm the generator

Hi Steve It was good to catch up with you again at Popham. It would be good if you get your permit in time. Even if it is a close call let me know. I don't mind going one or two over my self imposed
I also know of a situation where the trigear was at a disadvantage. A visiting trigear once landed at a grass strip where the surface was soft. Although the resident monowheel was operating in and ou
I agree that on the ground the monowheel looks a bit strange. However when it is in the air with the gear retracted I think it looks the part more than the trigear. With regards to a conventional tai
