We won't stay with the Europa in the Netherlands. Quite a substantial amount of flying will be done in the French Alps, as my wifes parents live close to Barcelonnette, and we love to fly over there
[quote:0fd8912cfa="air.guerner at orange.fr"] The higher the fuel flow, the higher the pressure loss across the filter. On the 914, when the engine is not running, there is of course no boost pressur
[quote:6ba7d7472f="air.guerner at orange.fr"]Frans, Let's take this example: You are flying at full power at 16000 feet, ISA conditions. According to the Rotax Manuals, the air box pressure (absolute
I think you are right, I recommend the Andair GAS 375, stops water and anything bigger than 70micron Graham[/quote:4e544db179] I'm using an Andair GAS 375 for the main fuel pump. For the backup pump
The aileron setup procedure is driving me nuts. The right aileron has way too much down movement. If I shorten the link rod (as recommended by the manual), the down movement gets less, almost correct
Thanks for all the advice. I will try again, but the desciptions look like what I have been doing so far. The points is, if I start with the QD's vertical, the link rods adjusted to the upper limit,
The wheather was cooperating, so I started all over, exactly following Bud's guidlines. When I rigged the wings, the result was indeed promising, with both ailerons nearly centered and throw within t
[quote:08514aa99f="air.guerner at orange.fr"]Frans, Sorry to confirm you are wrong! The fuel pump is unable to supply 120 liters per hour and 15 PSI at the same time. The pump performance curve supli
But how to adjust the port one? If I allow more up movement there, the starboard aileron will get more down movement, and exceed the maximum allowable down movement. Somehow I just can't get both ail
Frans, Could this be the answer you are seeking? I believe it was Graham who discussed the importance of aileron drive pin alignment. If alignment is not within a tight tolerance, adjustment of ailer

Hi! Frans. Just occurred to me .....are the bellcranks of equal leg, because if not you may have one incorrect way round giving you unequal movements? Regards Bob Harrison G-PTAG --[/quote:04b201de89

You may want to look for "Molex" connectors. They are very lightweight and easy to assemble. They are available in all sorts of different amount of pins. Best known are the 4-pin ones that are used i

These are the molex connectors I wrote about. I would use the 6-pin versions for this purpose. 3 pins for the strobe, one for the shield, and the two others for the nav lights. You could of course co
Hi! Frans I wouldn't be happy having rain entering the upper cowl when parked outside for long periods. --[/quote:66cffc2d56] The cowling has a slope upwards, so I don't think rain will enter it easi
Is it possible to have a NACA on the top of the cowl that would have some type of drain system that could handle rain when parked, or in flight ? [/quote:4340d7261f] The standard air inlet is far fro
