Kevin, In the US the tube can be found inexpensively at any lawnmower shop as many of the riding lawnmowers share the same size tire/tube combination. As to fitting the tube, place the tube inside th
In my trigear, I have experienced a tire blow out on both the nosewheel, and one of the maingear wheels. The nosewheel blow out was quite severe with a violent shimmy that I thought would shake the p
Ok, the blow outs were my fault! I have my main gear wheels very tightly cowled such that you can't readily inspect the condition of the tires without removing the wheel pants. I had let one of the t
Just recently, after 220 hours of operation, my Rotax 914 began "dieseling" after shut down. Never happened before, but now does it every time. I know that dieseling is caused by a "hot spot" somewhe
Peter, I have been flying my tri gear for 250 hours and can assure folks that I have not experienced any "bouncy nose wheel" characteristics. Of course, you don't want to land nose wheel first. You l
I've heard rumors of an altitude hold device, but haven't been able to track it down. If anyone knows about this, please post it for all us. Thanks. Garry V. Stout District Manager, AT&T Business Ser

Winter has finally settled in and air temperatures are often in the low 50's (F) in the morning. I am finding that it is impossible to start my Rotax 914 when the temperature is below 65 (F). I've tr
Thanks Andy, I hadn't tried the fully closed throttle position yet. I'll try that soon. With respect to the battery, it's good and strong, and turns the engine over as quickly as if the temperature w
Thanks to all who have responded to my "cold starting" problem. In my case the solution was simply following everyone's advise........to insure that the throttle is FULLY CLOSED and the choke full on
Jim, You have to be the only Europa pilot in Florida who's problem is not getting the engine warm enough! Garry V. Stout Terry, I just installed a oil temp control valve that I got from Lockwood Avia
Dave, Can you share with the list the part number of the mounts, and where / how you purchased them? Also, how big of a job was it to swap them out? Regards, Garry V. Stout District Manager, Finance,
In cruise configuration at 75% power, at sea level altitude the Europa is a 130-135 knot airplane. Doesn't matter whether you have a turbo engine, a CS prop, Trigear or mono, speed kit or not, light
It's unlikely that Dennis was "cruising" at 174 knots, if indeed that is an accurate speed. Regards, Garry V. Stout I recall reading results from the most recent Copperstate Flyin race, showing Denni
Just curious what others do. In the 4 years I've been flying my Europa, I have never touched my fuel selector valve. It stays in the "both" position at all times. Do others turn their's to "off" afte
All replies appear to be valid approaches in a "new construction" environment. As the proud owner of a 4 year old Europa, I now find that the top rear corner of my doors has grown to a 1/2 inch gap (
I haven't heard much about what is planned for the 100th Anniversary. Will there be a fly in? Is there adequate tiedown space? Camping availability? I'd be interested in going if there were more deta
