Nigel, When I looked at this I talked to Tim at B&C. Their advice was to just use two small 12V batteries in series. The cell to cell resistance is about the same as the jumper will be. In fact their
We also received some parts from E2004 from this container. The entire process went very smoothly. In our case, the freight forwarder arranged to have our package sent via FedEx with the charges put
Our stbd tailplane is difficult to fit. It goes on the torque tube OK but it difficult to get over the TP12 dirve pins. We refit the TP5 bushing which helped a little. At one point Andy suggested we
Does anyone know where to purchase rebuild parts for the Kart Components master cylinder for a monowheel? Ours are all gummed up. Also, is Dot 3 or Dot 4 brake fluid OK to use? I think the messages w
Mike, Ours is about 18" from center of rod end to center of rod end. It all depends on where the CS29 bracket ended up. BTW, there's been alot of comments on this forum about the tailwheel in general

We used the Expancel from Europa with the AeroPoxy also from Europa and ACS. We test sanded after a couple of days but usually ended up letting our filler cure for nearly a week prior to sanding sinc
Our glider wings are in the container that's about to arrive in NC. We assume there is a manual inside too! Dave Anderson helped Neville develop the manual and should be able to assist. We also have
Brian, We used six coats because that is Poly Fiber's recommendation. It is to protect the fiberglass from UV as well as to fill pinholes and provide a hard smooth surface for subsequent paint. The h
Does anyone have a decent photo of the factory trailer showing the wing support at the spar end? I'm trying to determine if the spar pin hole is used to keep the wing from sliding forward and backwar
In wiring the battery to our 914, I found the only threaded holes in the crankcase are quite far forward making the ground cable longer than I wish. Has anyone connected the ground cable under the so
I believe John Hurst installed an oil thermostat in the 914 demonstrator. He found it necessary when gliding. Perhaps Dave Anderson would comment as I think he did the same. Lockwood shows an oil the
Jeff, There was no Conti hose in our FWF either. We used braided teflon lined hose for the run from the bottom of the engine to the oil tank, past the exhaust. Purchased it from McMaster p/n 52515K29
I have scheduled a Europa Builders Owners Forum at Oshkosh. EAA has assigned us Tuesday, July 26 from 4:00 pm to 5:15 pm in Plaza 02. There is no particular program, just a chance for questions and
