Does anybody have a good source for a replacement of the small vacuum hoses on the fuel pressure regulator on the 914 engine? I had a problem with one of those and have doubts about the quality of th
I have done absolutely nothing to my doors and find that they work quite well per the stock installation. I did place a block between the head rest and the lower sill to bulge it out slightly, but I
but As Check your little hoses that run around the carburetor area. I have a 914, so I don't know if the system is the same, but I had a very similar problem and it turned out to be a split in one of
What I have done is to check the oil at the end of every flight. Since I am the only one flying it, I can check the airplane the next time I fly. If no oil is leaking, then the oil level should be OK
--From what I have seen, I think that 20:1 is not realistic for the short wing. At sea level, that would be a sink rate at 60 knots of 304 fpm. I suspect the glide ratio of the short wing is more in
I really haven't nailed it down yet. Finding a smooth enough day is hard to come by here. I do know that it is in the vicinity of 25. I have done several scenarios of engine failure including all the
The big question here is what was the wind aloft. I have seen many times in my flying career where the wind aloft is way different from the wind on the ground. The way to get the glide ratio is to ti
in to One simple comment from me, as a pilot by profession and a former aeronautical engineer: The Europa is an excellent design that has gone through a thorough certification process. You must consi
My input is to avoid breathing the fumes like the plague as well. I have to wear a space suit now to work with the stuff - did so today with a mod I am working on. I cannot be around the fumes at all
Hello to the group, Just a brief report of the performance of the long wing Europa. I have been asked several times about how well the airplane performs as a glider and after today I can provide some
At the risk of starting another chain of email postings, here goes: I have the second alternator installed now and that allows me to start the job of equipping for night flight. The first idea is lad
I did mine on Excel, with the times being totaled. I embedded pictures as I went along. The FAA never even looked at it once. I was ready, though!! Dave A227 Mini U2
I plan on it myself - the airbox temp can limit your power by the automatic waste gate control. I am hoping that is why I can only get about 25 inches at 17,500 in the warm weather. I used to do bett
Hi, I am now in the process of installing nav lights for night flight. Whelen sells nav lights for external mounting for a mere $90 each! I saw that aeroflash has nav lights for about $50, but I'll b
Does anyone out there in computer land know of a convenient way of mounting a tail nav light on a Europa other than the wing tip? I can imagine a simple fairing that could be bonded to the rudder as
Hello Group! I am now getting dangerously close to purchasing the Dynon EFIS system. Due to a lack of vacuum, I am now committed to an electrical attitude system. The Dynon will fit right in and allo
I have one in my twin comanche purchased new. It has worked perfectly for years - no problems whatsoever. I think you have an issue with the overhaul facility. There is no reason it should be behavin
