Hi, Has anyone in Europa had succes in obtaining the two hoses to connect the intercooler? Nobody seems to have them, and all internet sites that have them don't deliver outside the USA. I noticed th
Ah, thanks for the valuable info. I meant with "not critical" that if they were to blow or leak, I would just lose the boost pressure and be able to continue flight with natural aspiration. I didn't
I just looked at it, and it appears to me that there are two types, one with inner fabric and one without inner fabric. I guess the mentioned problems only apply to the versions with inner fabric? Bo
Yes, I'm thinking about forgetting the Gates and Goodyear part numbers, and just go for "any suitable hose with 90 degrees elbow and the right diameter". I still do not rule out the SCAT/SCEET hose,
In my Europa, I would like to have an attitude indicator. Not for instrument flying, but just "in case". As I don't have a vacuum system, but dual alternators instead, the attitude indicator had to b
We did, for a long time. But we rejected it finally because it is not a real gyro (if I remember correctly it would show wings level while you are not flying coordinated and with one wing low, and it
That's what I intend to do anyway (if I can find a company still having the parts and experience to do it properly). If the last owner has dropped it, it is well possible that the instrument still wo
As far as I know it is not a compass but a GPS heading indicator. I alread have a GPS, a compass is these days meant as a backup for the GPS (in case of satellite failure). A "compass" based on GPS i
This is one of the reasons why I choosed a transponder where the actual transmitter and the panel part are separate. There is just a very thin and light weight data cable in between; I will mount the
Have a look at http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/garrechttransponder.php They are somewhat more costly than "standard" transponders, but if mode S becomes mandatory (like it is in Europe
I have not yet flown with it, but mounted my TE probe in the fertical fin (in the "cap" actually), level with the port sill, with the tip pointing down. The tail strobe is just behind/above it, provi
If I read this correctly: You recommend this powerplant because you bought one yourself. That alone should be enough reason for us to buy one ourselves too? How about giving some more substantial rea
It would be extremely helpful if you describe what exactly happened. I red already on the Woodcomp site about the mechanical endstops before your accident. Maybe they changed something after you purc
If you modify the cam profile, you are not just eliminating friction. You take advantage of the lessened friction to introduce a more aggresive cam profile, so the engine can digest more air and fuel
Jos, Since I intent to order a Woodcomp propellor soon, I'm very interested in the cause of the accident. I'm however still puzzled by your claim that a mechanical failure of the Woodcomp propellor w
Thanks for the information, but it still doesn't explain why the prop went into super fine pitch in the first place. Was it commanded by the prop controller? I don't have a Woodcomp propellor yet, bu
You are right. My slip up. So, let's assume for the moment I'm technically handicapped, and let me ask just to be sure I don't misunderstand you: If you throttle back from take-off power to cruise cl
Well, actually I don't know for sure. I still own a Cessna, using it for international flights, and the maintenance guys told me that I don't need an ELT yet, there is still no enforcement of the rul
I'm based at EHHO, just like Marcel. I'm not sure why you want to stay in Lelystad. I will never go there, except in an emergency. It is a boring place to my opinion. There are better places in the N
