Steve I have looked and looked through my papers for the notes I got from Rocky Mountain about the Rotax Tach wiring. My wiring book showed that I wired the Bu/Y to ground and the W/Y to uM #C. I rem
All I have been helping a friend get familiar with an Europa he is handling for an estate. It is a mono and he is thinking it would sell better here in the US as a tri-gear. Question: Is there a tri-
Paul I have installed the Rocky uMicro Monitor in both Bob's and my Europas. In both the Rotax tach leads were used. I attached one lead to ground reference and the other to pin #C . If it does not w
Steve Might that instruction regarding 4 ply be intended for the classic build? I don't remember dong a glass lay-up on the inside and defiantly did not do one on the outside. Cliff Shaw 1041 Euclid
Patrick I saw the same symptom on the plane Russ has. The blinking orange light went away when he switched on the switch for the waste gate servo. I think it was labeled TCU on his plane. It should b
Patrick It sounds to me that your problem is the throttle boden cables not being in sink. The amount they are out of sink will be very small. I checked mine by measuring the air gap on the carb stop
Very interesting reading. Thanks ! I wish I knew enough to design and build a new lower cowling for my XS. What I did is better than stock, but people tell me the cowling could be better. Cliff Shaw
Richard and All I have the SkyDrive Carb Heater and think they work very well. One thing you said is not the way I installed mine. I followed the instruction that came with my kit (I believe) and ins
I did both. (oil and stronger springs) Mine really did not need the springs. Did you cut the cable to length? I cut mine and reassembled the ends. Cliff Shaw 1041 Euclid ave. Edmonds, WA 98020 425 77
Patrick and Ferg I cut the cables to the throttle and chock on advice from Florida. On both my plane and on Bob's , I roughed the cables smoothly left and right with the best possible smoothest bends
Patrick Your problem could be a poor connection on any of several wires going to the Rectifier Regulator unit. Or the unit its self #965347 in the Lockwood catalog on page "69" . good luck Cliff Shaw
Bruce I mounted my dual cylinder finger brakes up-side down too. As Karl said, it is easy that way. The handles will want to be as long as you can stand. That way you have a much softer pull with the

Karl You have built a very interesting "Tunnel" I remember looking at it and thinking "why did I not think of doing that " I wish I had. The dream I have now is to make doors on the belly of my tryge
Will Thanks for asking. The panel in "Wile E. Coyote" , N229WC, was made using the "lost foam" lay-up method. The curved lower edge is necessary because the panel is 12" deep ( closer to my eyes). Th
Marty That is a "Bummer" I had to look it up in my manual to figure out what stops you were talking about. The new version of the manual has it clearly illustrated on pages 12M-3 and 12T-3. For all y
All I took some pictures of "Wile E Coyote" (N229WC) today. The weather was not very nice, but at least it was not raining. Look in the Tri-Gear album at the WEC album at the link in my signature. Cl
Jeff Look on page 4 of my EruopaOwners web page (link below) to see what I did. I put the ELT under the baggage bay and accusable through the port hatch. It is not as convenient as I might want, but
Ferg I worried about that same thin. I found in the Rotax reference pages the suggestion to use a strap under the intake manifolds. I have been doing it that way and have had no concerns of safety or
Mike Yes Yes Yes You can fly the plane as you see fit. I usually use half flaps on take off. That is recommended in the Europa POH. I have made no flap take-offs, too. They require a higher speed for
