That makes sense, but I wondering if there's significant effect in the fact that there's less time, 6 cyl. vs. four, for the starter to spin up between compression strokes. So you get less of an iner

Since you say "cable tensioners," note that they will also adjust pedal position fore/aft. Mostly aft, since you can't remove much spring tension else they won't work too well. If that's what you wan

Right you are about staying well clear, VFR. The problem for builders who can obtain IFR certification is being inside of cloud that unforcastedly (new word) goes electric. Some years ago, I was stru

The Lancair Columbia I hear includes, in the fiberglass sandwich, a layup of metal mesh, interconnected by some means. Where one gets this stuff, who knows. For the quickbuild Europa, this isn't an o

As long as you have a vacuum in the venturi relative to ambient pressure, that won't occur. So I guess more boost = more power = more velocity past venturi, and thus more venturi vacuum. They have a

One disadvantage (suggested by Europa @ Lakeland) is crashworthiness. In production aircraft, I've seen bends and half-loops in the layout that appear to be solely for this purpose. Similarly, they c

NTSB reports do seem to suggest also that fuel just spills more often than it spills & ignites. With the Europa, I have a theory that the fuselage is more crash-survivable than many others, and furth

For tri-gear aficionados, note that the Europa drain kit calls for the drains aft of the baggage area, and that may be a bit above the lowest part of the tank on the tri-gear. Worse methinks for a ga

Theories: In the old days, people in winter climates often added "drygas." But maybe the prime source of water then was leaking underground storage tanks, all now replaced in the U.S. Auto fuel tanks

If a small box, rather than just a pot as I understood the original post, then I'll bet it's a simple series regulator. That is a better solution than just a voltage-dropping diode. Regards, Fred F.,
