Bruno, I am not sure what engine you have and which Piersburg pump you are using. For the 914: I was content with the parallel pumps for years. The Piersburg pumps operate pretty well either together
Ken and Graham, I've attached my modifications and techniques briefing used for Europa Cooling with the XS cowl which written up in the Europa Flyer . If I do say so myself, I never have cooling issu
Jaques, I had to remove the 914 manual from this attachment. You probably already downloaded the 914 repair manual. Regards, Bud -- Original Message -- From: Bud Yerly<mailto:budyerly@msn.com> Sent:
Guys, Tyre Pressure has always been in section 7 of the operators handbook and section 29T page 7 of the build manual. I know, who reads that! 2 bar or 30 PSI. I use 35 personally based on tire manuf
Nigel, Where do you find the time. Don't you just hate paying that much for carbon? Disgusting, isn't it. It is great stuff. I assisted our local engineering college at the University of Central Flor
Lovely design... However=2C my comments are based on an installation that is stock. Takes 4 0 hours from openning the box to engine fully installed and ready for start and is reapeatable with only th
To all, vibration/noise. I do not intend to comment on the different brands, only the differences between a three and two blade prop both designed for and tested on the Europa.. A two blade AP420 wit
Paul, For all the Europa needs here in the US, Aircraft Spruce carries what is necessary. Firewall: For the Trigear or mono I use the .016 thickness stainless steel and a Whitney punch to make the ho
David, A sticky subject to say the least. I whole heartedly agree with your points...Warning systems are great, but practice makes perfect. Train like you fly, fly like you train is the pilot motto w
Paul, Aircraft Spruce carries it. PER FT FIREWALL 2000 24" WIDTH 05-00948 They also have the kit with the gray fireproof adhesive. Great stuff, easy to install but pricey. I cut a cardboard template
Alan, I have been towing Europa trigears for about 10 years now. We have recovered aircraft out of fields, garages and airports. Some damaged and and in pieces. My trailer is a 22 foot car hauler wit
About that Jab cooling. Europa does not have a firewall forward so I have been bad and not commented on cooling this engine. I have found that putting a dam above the cylinder tends to work for the c
Alan, All flying tails are powerful, easy to trim, simple to construct and give excellent pilot feedback and can increase the CG range. But not intuitively obvious as to their design. Barn door hinge
Frans, I'll look for some pictures. I don't have them at the home office today. I've been too busy to finish the testing and market them. Sorry, there will be no plans as this is an across the board
Rowland, Just a quick thought over about 10 panel installations: I use a perihelion design OVP which is a fancy resettable crowbar (see periheliondesign.com) It kills the control circuit (C terminal)
Alan, Please don't compare our stab to the Tramahawk! Our tail plane will operate throughout our trim and flap setting range allowing trim and power to land only. I occasionally practice power and tr
Alan, It was to me, as I am the opinionated lightning rod. Sounds like we both started our aviation careers the same way. Modeling is not just fun, it was a dream. Hopefully 76 years is the start of
Marcel, You are on the right track. I'm putting together a bit of info at the shop here in Florida and will email direct to you a FACTORY suggested inspection sequence for the structures, what you sh
Jon and Pete, I have the same problem on two 912S engines on #3 and #1 cylinder. One is clearly a tune problem which causes excessive vibration of the muffler and clear engine shake... The other was
Jacques, I have just been able to see your photos of your cracks. As others and you suspect, the crack was the result of the gear up landing and the main wheel and arm impacting the top of the gear w
