Paul, I had to make two new units. I went to my local plastics supplier and got 3' of nylon 66 in 1" dia. and refigured the length I needed. Replaced the factory units and all is well. Jim Nelson = =
Hi John Lawton..... Wow, that is nice test gear. It will be very nice of you to test our antenna's. I used Bob Kuckols SWR meter he "rents" out. I use the Europa vertical dipole in the fin.. Accordin
Paul, In addition to tieing the tail wheel down, I also ran a piece of room up forward around the main wheel and back to the same tie down. I used a convenient tie down ring at the airport which happ
Dave, Its the fun of living in the wide open spaces of the USA and Canada. Lots of room and it doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Not living upon your neighbor has its advantages. When I can look into m
Ferg, Actually I think he is talking about a 2 x 4 across the fuselage (side to side). I did the same but used a 1 x 4 on each side. Then a 1 x 12 as the belly board to slide in and out. Yes I had to
Hi Paul, I believe one is plastic and the other is aluminum. Bought them both and never installed the plastic ones. I used the Van's NACA ramp to feed the 1" eye ball and it provides lots of air. Jim
Tony, Where are you trying to change the direction of the rudder cables to that degree?? Anything beyond 10 degrees should use a pulley and the larger the better. The arc radius is important for the
HI Guys, I highly recommend the instillation of the carburetor heat blocks. That should eliminate any possibility of carb ice :-)))) Jim Nelson N15JN writes: = = =
Paul, I bought Aero Electric's volt / load meter which comes with a shunt. You should, if possible, keep the "big" stuff outside in the engine compartment. Remember ACS has just "people" working ther
Duncan, When I flooded my 912S last time, I shut off the main fuel (valve) and opened the throttle about half way. Then I cranked the engine and it cleared and started. The moment it started, I turne
Ron, I sell bearings as I run a bearing shop. The bearing you want is a "499502H" by part number, I replaced mine a year ago and it makes a big difference. They sell for about $5 each across the coun
Hi Troy, Safety first then what ever, Having it behind my seat gives me control without having anyone forward of the wings exposed to the propeller. Plus, when its disconnected, I close the door and
Chuck, Are you looking for a completed Europa? I just have one with trailer for sale. :-(((( I am in need for a larger aircraft and my wife wants to fly with me to greater distances with (more luggag
Hi Chuck, Yes I'll send you some details, do you have a fax number? My detail sheet is full and to retype it is a pain. I'm asking $66K with all my extras. Let me know. Jim writes: = = = =
Hi Paul, I did the smoothing out of the inlet all the way to the radiator. I also included a cooling flap at the outlet of the duct. If you are doing the factory thing, make sure that NO air get arou
Tony, Hooker Harness uses automotive inertial reels for their systems. I have on in my Europa. They work real nice. Be sure that they are sewed correctly for maximum strength. Jim Nelson N15JN = = =
Karl, Do you have a Mono-wheel? That model seems to have the most problems with high temps on the ground. If you have a Tri-Gear, It doesn't have cooling problems at all. In fact it runs too cool. I
Karl, The design of the Mono-wheel landing gear produces much stuff where the air leaves the cowling. This restriction causes the engine compartment to over heat when on the ground for any length of
