All This past summer, Betty and I came home from Oshkosh with lots of extra load (120 lb over). The plane flew very normally and had no trouble climbing and flying to 10000 ft. In fact I had to slow
Fred , All I guess I should have been more explicit. I was shown by Andy replacement molded parts for the "glass over foam" parts. They had a fuselage and other parts setting there getting ready for
Trigear pilot (Garry) Someone told me a long time ago "You can not justify owning an experimental airplane" If that is true, then how can you justify having a practical one? People chose the Europa i
Fred question #1 I think we all get our Phase II at the first inspection. I did. My plane had nav-lights and panel lighting installed and the inspector looked at them. I have not restriction. I bough
All I worked a little in the hanger for John Hurst in August of 03. One of the things he had be do was to install an Aux-tank in the factory tri-gear demonstrator. He told me that the company was dev
Patrick I have flown my Europa both ways. I converted to a tri-gear about 22 hours of flight. I had installed fairing around the large main wheel. I had wheel pant on the tail wheel and on the outrig
Dave Kim Prout put me on to a slick way to add weight to the Europa tail. He showed me a short section of pipe of brass rod that was sized just right. He pulled off his TPs and slipped this weighted
Fred I found help looking at pages like this. http://www.wingsandwheels.com/textindex.htm After building as careful as I could, I decided that gap seals on the ailerons would not be of much help. My
Terry I sometimes don't agree with you Terry, but on this cowling thing, I second your guess. Maybe that is what I will work on next ?! :) Cliff Shaw 1041 Euclid ave. Edmonds, WA 98020 425 776 5555 h
Those interested in TG fairings I flew my TG with and without the fairings in different combinations. I am sure that the fairings on the landing gear struts are by fare the most beneficial. I think t

Patrick I don't know what it is about your posting, but I think I have been "moved" to reply to you more that any one else. This fuel gauge thing is a thing with many answers. You hit my button by as
Sven When this happens in flight, you will hear or feel a slight "popping" noise, Maybe a small burp in the otherwise smooth running Rotax. It is a Back Fire ! It is caused by the introduction of add
Sven I have one at the hanger. I have not seen it built into any ones cowling. I don't think it is the best answer to the cooling problems. Again, I took another solution and my web pictures show wha
Glenn Your gauge reading 2 low is the same on my installation. I found the reading returned to correct when I switch the fuel selector to the reserve side of the tank. I reasoned that the fuel flow t
I have wired up two Europe's,and use that switch on both of them. The Rotax alternator does not have a wire to disconnect it. The switch has been carrying the buss load just fine. Remember this is a
