Tony and others, The original Rotax installation documentation for the 914 does have a parallel setup, Ref: Rotax installation manual dated 1996 05 10. Europa did not come up with this... As seems us
Rich, I'll run mine or Bakers tomorrow, weather permitting, and see what my fuel pressure does. If memory serves, I start at 4 psi at idle and at full throttle still see about 4 in line, and about 10
Rich, Like I said, just a tad high. I'm going to the airport tomorrow again. Rained out today and had to clean up the shop for the UCF senior design team coming in and pushing to get another plane fi
Rich, Call on the cell as I'm all over the place this week. My runup on Saturday was on Baker's 914 The FP was 4 psi solid until boost started to kick in. 4 PSI until passing 30 inches. Max continuou
Sorry for taking so long to comment. I was out. Flew a Motor Glider --From Tampa To Kansas City. Great trip. 127 TAS at 4.8 gph at 8500ft. A lot of weather, but not bad. On to windows... Richard, The

Ferg, No it just takes keeping up with the manuals. Not that you have a life beyond building the Europa. Check the new on line rotax site and get the latest manual. I prefer a momentary mini toggle s
Perhaps someone can help out there. I am far from home base and my normal Europa jack, and need to lift my Europa classic monowheel to test undercarriage retraction. I once read (on the Europa websit
Go ahead, Lift on the engine frame on the mounts is OK. Just don't ask a lot of guys to jump on the plane while doing it. Perhaps someone can help out there. I am far from home base and my normal Eur
By all means block the air below the oil cooler, not the radiator... You will be well served to lower the oil cooler as far as possible (2 inches is normal, but each cowl is different) to get best co

Jeff, Glad to hear the cooling issues are relieved. Well done and thanks for passing it on. For consumption by others and for feedback, I'd like to hear other fliers comments also. Evans replaced by
You're OK. Most instruments (VDO/Mitchell) read zero (or high ohms) open and pegged (low ohms) or shorted to ground. Depends on the sender. Most engine instruments use a resister that sends 5 volts t

Bob, Sorry to hear about your engine woes. Check that there is not 912S restrictor in your return line for the 914. The restrictor is necessary in the 912S but Rotax forbids it in the 914. Make sure
Paul, I'll snap some photo's of what we've done and drag down some numbers. For cooling air I am talking about the actual air intakes not the oil/glycol cooler openings. That is a different set of ca
Jeff, Thanks but have secured a room with Dave Conrad. His wife can't come either...What's with the gals, I promised I wouldn't be really obnoxious. Anyway, what beer do we want. I have a truck and w
The Weather Saga Continues. Homer Baker and I were looking to fly in, but that was dashed earlier by the weather and our VFR planes. My driving plans are now significantly impacted as continued rain
Interesting to note: Tire pressure is the key. The lower the pressure the more wear on the side wall. I see the older mono's with cracks in the sidewalls running 12-14 lbs of pressure on the 7 inch t
