Jeroen, I had it too (and I have the hitop as well). I heard from others that this was normal, and I have accepted this. I filled up the gap with flox, and added two layers of bid on the outside (in
If you have a tri-gear, and the other master cylinder brand than Matco (forgot the name but I think it started with a "J"), toss it away and install Matco brake cylinders instead. I spent a whole fru
Hi, Does anyone know how many liters per minute of oil flows through the oil cooler in a Rotax 912 or 914? I could not find it anywhere in the Rotax documentation. A precise number is not necessary,
I used 2mm too. Keep in mind that my panel is much larger than the standard Europa panel; if it works for me it should work for you too. It is true that after the holes are cut the panel appears weak
I just finished the bathroom, and progressing to the living room. Hope to have it finished before x-mas. Now the PH-DIY is in a flyable state, I have finally time to work through my house that has se
I had the Artex 406 ELT fitted in my aircraft (until an adaption of the regulation made the use of a certain PLB possible, and I replaced the Artex by a PLB). The Artex was working fine though. I had
When we built the PH-DIY the aileron system was tight. But after 91 hours of flying and repeated (de)rigging, everything settled in, and some play developed at the quick connect system. There is no p
Ah, good to know. Ok, but during rigging it is I think quite impossible to line up the stick and the aileron so they mate evenly and don't push away the redux before the rigging is completed. I usual
I got more replies than I hoped for. Everything makes sense. As far as I remember the alignment of the bolts was ok. I see some scuffing marks on the surfaces, but there is no measurable wear. So far
Hi everyone, Can anyone enlighten me what the supposed function of the OR6 is (the plastic spreader between the outer flap supports)? One end of the flap supports is held apart by the wing and the ot
Just another question: (Yep, the end of the winter is near, I'm thinking again about flying). For my annual I need to take the main wheels of the ground, one at a time. What is the best way of doing
The ferrite rings are not for impedance matching but to convert the asymmetric signal (one center wire against an outer sleeve) in a symmetrical one (the two legs of the dipole antenna). Without such
Stefan Ingemarsson, also a member of the Europa community, sells silicone hoses for both the XS and the classic Europa. His email is ingemarsson.s at telia.com I just received a set of silicone hoses
Have you thought about installing a mocal oil to water heat exchanger? The Finnish guys are flying with these and use them for heating up the oil as well as for cooling. (also when they make trips to
Just remember that the strength comes from the glass, not the wood. The wood is there just to keep the glass layers on the bottom and top of the spar separated, so that all spar bending forces are co
See http://www.thinkauto.com/laminova.htm These things are mainly sold in Europe under the name Laminova and in the US under the name Mocal. I'm using a C43-90 (plus a small radiator). Raimo Toivio (
I believe the "problem" with the Rotax is of a different nature. There are two carbs, and the inlet pulses are not equally distributed. Each carb will see two inlet pulses in sequence, then followed
comparing Apples and Oranges. Both taste good. Has the Jab a turbo? $5.00 more an hour to operate. Make it two gallon per hour. That's 10 dollar per hour. And not to mention that with a turbo you wil
You bet it is. (For this reason alone I would never invest in an engine designed to run on AvGas.) Skip this step; go straight to Diesel or propane. Talking about "higher compression". In Europe octa
