Mv727cap@aol.com, jas56d@msn.com Well, here is my take on this -- if there is a problem with a plugged filtration system -- either a gascolator or a filter, it does not necessarily have to be a sudde
My original idea was to run a short length of flexible line and then transition into solid line -- for the reasons you mention. I believe I will revisit that issue. Once I start the installation, the
Hi, I have installed my doors and am now attempting to install the door gas struts. The instructions refer to drilling a 4.2mm hole and then a 5mm tap to accept the ball fitting. I usually answer my
Jim, I guess I don't quite understand the problem you are referring to. The door seems to function quite well. IS there a long term problem with the factory installation? Dave Dave, Did you read the
I will try the carbon fiber trick I think. I did that on some wheel fairings on a Cherokee many years ago and it worked quite well. Right now everything fit well -- I hope it stays that way. I am usi
Thanks - this is good info. I just received my kit in October and will check with the Europa folks and see if there have been any changes to my door. Happy Holidays, Dave
Pete, I like this idea-it sounds to me like it just might work. If I have the problem described by many, I will look into it. As long as it doesn't cause an operational problem getting the door open
Hi, I am installing the fuel filler today and have some questions. When you fuel a Europa, do you fill it up to the top - above the top of the tank and fill the filler tube? I have a quite loose fit
Just for the record, I am currently designing my electrical system for the airplane with a rotax 914. I tend to design more like what I was used to in airline flying, but I am going to have the follo
Depending on your engine, you can put either a 40 amp belt driven or a 20 amp vacuum pad driven alternator. The more amps the better as far as I am concerned, but the 914 will not take the 40 amp alt
Question, There isn't a 28 volt option on the Rotax engine, is there? I assumed this, but 28 volts would allow much more equipment and I see the B&C alternator is available in 28 volts. Probably too
It is my impression that the advantage of the alternator is good output at lower RPM. I have a PA30 with generator and they will not produce power at idle, where an alternator at the same RPM will --
That is a significant piece of news! Do you happen to have a picture of the airplane with the installed alternator (40amp)? What did you end up doing to the cowl and how did it turn out? This would b
Hi, I am looking at EFIS myself, but have ruled out EFIS one due to the single point failure of the display. Should it quit - all the information about flight and engine are gone. I like it, but....
does not include heading information -- as far as I know. They designed it to be a backup display. If they included the 6 basic flight parameters, I would buy one myself. Dave Anderson
Hello, Electrical wiring now in process. Does anybody out there know how much power the 914 electric pump draw? I am trying to decide the size of wire to use for those pumps. Thanks, Dave Anderson mo
Yes sir, you are right in all counts. I am thinking that the future just isn't quite here yet. The reliability of the EFIS displays should be good and any system needs a backup -- no matter what it i
Does anybody know anything about this option -- the Digifly EFIS display? http://www.integrityonline15.com/wwerner/Composite_Design_Homepage.htm I am about to order the engine instrumentation IK2000
