Hi Ira, Being that RF is my specialty, I would suspect that the folks having trouble with GPS reception with the antenna mounted in the panel are likely caused by the proximity to metal parts to the
Greetings all, Although I have only about an hour with John Hurst in the demo Europa, I would liken it's flight characteristics to that of the Grumman trainer/TR-2, of which I have about 45 hours in.
Has anyone given any thought to using one of those roll around engine stands? It seems like an engine stand that rotates could easily be used to support either wings or the fuselage. Since they rotat
Just returned from Sun-N-Fun where I was able to chat at length with representatives from Blue Mountain and Grand Rapids Technologies. Looking closely at both I saw some obvious pro's and con's. Blue
Richard, I'd like to see your plan for finger brakes as well if you'd like to share as I am considering the same for my bird. Tony, If you want to see a really sweet conventional Europa contact Bob B
Richard, Although it won't help with the water issue, a lot of sailplane guys who use open trailers have made simple aileron locks. It's just two pieces of 1/4" ply about 3" square with a piece of ca
Ron, Because of concern about this issue by an A&P friend with lots of composite experience helping me with my kit I specifically asked this question of John Hurst and he told me that no components r
I definately want cabin lights in my Europa as I anticipate pre-dawn departures and twilight arrivals to be routine flight operations for me when the time comes. Bob Berube has a nice lighting setup
Greetings all, Does anybody know the Cherry Rivet equivalent of the Europa supplied TLPD424BS rivets? I've come up a few short whilst making my pitch push rod. It seems kind of silly to order a handf
Although I have no direct experience with Yaesu, that's the same thing I've heard about them. My next door neighbor has a couple of Yaesu 2 meter handhelds and they've been nothing but trouble for hi
Greetings all, I've been working on my main gear which has spurred thought about the baggage floor board bulkhead and the height at which it's mounted. The manual is vague in this department and I ca
Greetings all, I've noticed in the past couple of weeks that my factory pre-skinned ailerons, stab, rudder, antiservo tabs and flaps have become sticky to the touch. We've been getting a fair amount
Not to throw off on Microair, I have one installed in my sailplane and it's worked flawlessly for over a year now. However, there is another guy at our field who has one installed in his Blanik L-33
I think he used the Schedule 200 stuff because it's lighter. Since it's only being used as a mold for the BID, why add the extra weight of the Schedule 40? An old EAA guy told me once "Son, if you ta
He calls it "Schedule 200 PVC" on his site, but perhaps it is Class 200. I've looked at several building supply companies, i.e., Home Depot, Lowes, etc, but none carry it. Did you get yours from a pl
I think he uses the pipe as a mold to give a nice, uniform semi-round shape to the raceway. It says on his site that he cuts it down to 40% round and then notches it where it meets the door sill. I w
While we're talking about Dennis Vories modifications, does anybody know where he got the plastic domed plugs he uses to cover over the pip pin holes on the stab? I've searched and searched but I can
