Klaus, Canada and the US have a special setup to allow each's aircraft to easily fly in each other's airspace. But all others have to get a "Special Flight Authorization". Mike Duane A207 Redding, Ca
Hi John, Thanks for the info. My wife has been wondering about the first flight and the test period that follows. She figures that if anything happens, it's most likely to happen then. On the exit st
Jim, How does it attach to the tailwheel? Do you have any pix of this system? I am about to get to this point and if Graham has a better mouse trap I would like to see if it's better for me. Mike Dua
To those in the know, If you can't peak the mixture on these carbs then how do you keep from fouling the plugs? Are the carbs possibly tuned to say 8000 ft and you are just slightly out of proper mix
Graham, Maybe a little off topic but, what would be the procedure for a no flap landing and still be able to see the runway? ............side slip?.............too much speed floats you a long time!
Good Day All, I am putting in the baggage bay and have a couple of quick questions for those that have gone before. 1) Is the baggage bay supposed to be jammed into the bottom of the canoe? Or is it
Good Day All, Do both sides of the horizontal section of the baggage bay also get a BID layup underneath? Also, what kind of electrical load will the electric flap have on the already weak Rotax alte
Tony, The only reply that I have received said that since it is used for only a small amount of the time the electrical load would be insignificant. I guess that's as long as if you have an electrica
Good day All, I am presently looking to mount my Amer-King AK-450 ELT under the port side baggage bay as I have seen others do. One person's website photos showed the ELT antennae mounted horizontall
So I may be able to mount my battery on the passenger side shelf in the engine compartment? That would be nice. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Conventional Gear CM & rudder pedals with cables
Good day all, Does anyone have any pix of a typical electric flap drive setup? Also information of the parts used to do it? I am thinking about going to this, but would like to see the what it entail
To All, On this note, if any Europa happened to have an empty seat and would like to share expenses on the flight to and back with one of those unfortunate enough to not have their aircraft completed
If the Europa wings are already gelcoated, how does this effect the application of the two part urethane paints? What prep work would need to be done to the quick build kits from Europa? Mike Duane A
To All, For my workbench I used an inexpensive hollow core door on top of two sawhorses that I built to a comfortable height (tall). I can put it away and take it out whenever I need it. Mike Duane A
Thanks Cliff, I plan on doing my setup the same way. Some Forum discussion did convince me that easy access to the ELT, with it's portable antennae, might be necessary, so I have changed from screws
Tony, As for the bolt, I replaced the one that was originally called for with a drilled AN-45 Eye bolt (AC Spruce pg 77). I waited until I drilled the 5/16" hole for the tailwheel spring bolt, then m
Good day Andy and Ray, You wouldn't happened to have made the same change to the "full" Instrument module, the one without the shelf on the right side? Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Conventi
Good day All, Question - for those that are flying or are past the wing angle of incidence setup stage.... the two wing spar pins that hold the wings together to the CM......one is a nice smooth PIP
