Hi everyone, As some of you know I have drastically changed the cooling system of my 914 powererd Europa and achieved perfect cooling without having to resort to more and larger openings in the cowli
Hi Bud, Then that trigear was suffering from micro-boiling with the previour coolant, otherwise it is quite impossible. The heat transfer rate of Evans is lower than that of water based glycol, no wa
In most cases 50/50 is the best solution. I wanted to try Evans because I have cooling overcapacity so the reduced heat transfer is no issue, and the idea of running at zero pressure is interesting i
???? Please keep it in Enlish, like we Duchmen and Germans do in this forum. If you fancy the privacy of your own tongue, you'd better use private email. Be careful with vortex generators and winglet
This temperature difference would remain constant. If I close the cowl flap to raise the temperature, I'm raising the temperature of the coolant. Since the temp difference between the coolant and cyl
Hi everyone, I guess I'm not the only one having this problem. The main problem here is that I don't understand why it is happening. If I arrive at an airfield in hot weather, I can restart either ri
Thanks a lot! You, and of course everyone else who answered. Good to hear I'm not the only one having this problem and good to hear there is consencus about the work around to get the thing started.
The 912S has a much higher compression than the 914 (and 912). Although never owned a 912S it was my understanding that the starting issues have to do with this higher compression, which makes cranki
Yes, I have been away yesterday and the day before. Now I first have to get a pile of work done, I guess we can call later (when it is evening here). Frans
Same here. It has always done that. And with only 150 hours on the clock I think the carbs are still pretty new. Great, I'm working on plans to do the same. You are also using the carbs as throttle b
I think with proper fairings on the wheels the difference in drag between a tri-gear and a mono wouldn't be that much. This year I plan to replace the mickey mouse fairings by properly shaped fairing
That is a smart idea! I like this one. It should solve the problem, and it also causes less residu to be built up in the carbs. (If fuel vaporizes some residues from the various additions remain, if
Hi Neville, Nope, don't have that data. But I plan to do some measurements this summer. I bet it is much lower than it was before. The air leaving the radiator blows right between the exhaust tubes a
I rig and derig the airplane for every flight and I follow the very same procedure as described by Roddy. It is no problem at all. I always rig the tailplanes without any help (my wife has another ta
There are plenty reasons why not to trust google. Most of them have to do with privacy. Google records your search words, may have your email (if you use gmail), may have your agenda (if you use thei
I'm sure your friend isn't a security expert. The danger isn't in the isolated pieces of data. I don't care if a picture of my house is on some pal's cell phone camera while he was photographing a ra
Depends on the stall speed/features of your ship. I have seen Europa's that have a 10 knot higher stall speed than some others. I wouldn't recommend my landing speed to them! This might be due to you
A little bit of extra speed has a very markable influence on the flare. Try a bit lower speed. If the stall characteristics of your ship are benign, there is nothing to worry about to get over the fe
I have it and I'm satisfied with it. I use two float type senders, one swiveling into the main tank and the other in the reserve. I have set up the two systems as two independant tanks, and of course
You can connect multiple items to one NMEA output. Of course there is some limit, but it depends on the load each single item poses on the bus. On my ship I have the NMEA output of the GPS linked to
