For security and stability of the fuselage when on the trailer it is essential that there is adequate overlap of the trailer channel sides over the undercarriage arm. This usually involves significan

Having just flown for four legs totalling 7 hrs 25 min the following may be of interest The data applies to the 912 Europa. Only the sight gauge is fitted, carefully calibrated by pumping out 5 ltrs

Say goodbye to your friends, invite them to film you as you scream off into the blue yonder - 20 minutes later , no appearance - engine won't start ?, fire on the parking line ?, electrical fault ? n
I am trying to calculate the capacity of the fuel tank at various levels to compare with the sight gauge readings. But it is very difficult to get good dimensions when it is buried in the aeroplane.
That's odd, Tony- your first message didn't get to me - and the dxf has appeared tagged onto my return copy of the message itself instead of wairing for a download. Fax is on its way. Tks Graham C.

<<This is a standard differential compression test: set 80 psi on the first (helps to have a regulator) and the second gives you an indication of leaks in the system at TDC: rule of thumb is that 60/

I have been investigating the possibility of making use of one of the unique capabilities of the Europa, namely its trailerability, to operate from my nearest airfield, which happens to be a major on
I would be interested to know the insertion forces of the main spar pins in the current flying Europas. On mine it is essential that the wings are supported and wiggled at the tips before the pins ca
