Phil The point you raised are applicable to Mod 64 rather than Mod 64B. Unfortunately when I wrote the changes/additions for 64B I did not revise the basic instructions for fitting the high top. I ho

Roland We operate G-IANI from her trailer. This normally remains parked at the airfield but we could just as well drive it home. It really does only take 5 minutes to derig the aircraft and close up
Paul Obviously everyone is interested in the cowl drawings. Do you know if Andy is going to send paper or a CAD drawing? If its paper, I will on behalf of the Club, be happy to digitise it and make a
revising the cowl is one item on his agenda of possible Europa improvements. I do not know if he has had the information as to what has already been done by Andy. David does monitor this forum but,
Frans Did you think about the TruTrak Pilot 1 (or 2). This would do what you want and of course you could have autopilot if you want to spend the additional $1000 per servo. Mine has been reliable. I
Both the Factory and the Europa Club have available copies of the 914 throttle setting software. The software is small and I can e-mail it to you. There are three versions and, depending on age of en
Fred I do not think the adjustment is very critical. I did mine up tight at first and the result was that it juddered. That is the friction stopped it moving at all until the forces were quite high.

Out of interest you may like to know that the main gear legs are the same as used on the RV family. On the other hand, the nose wheel (and Mono) are made by a wheel chair manufacturer. Just a thought

Marcel I do not see any problems with the principals of your fuel layout. In practice the problem will be to get a good location for the transducer in the engine bay. As the compiler of the mod I am
All With G-IANI we operate the check list routine. Switch to RESERVE before starting the engine, and keep it there during warm-up and taxi. Before run-up, switch to MAIN. Check MAIN before take-off.
Ron What Craig has described is set out as LAA Standard Mod 10402. This is available on the Club site. I have "guide rails" on which the panel slides as you install it. This was achieved by having th
I have removed a windscreen (when doing the High top - low cowl mod). By the careful application of a heat gun to the edge of the screen the 420 can be convinced to let go. You can then slide a putty
Shortening the throttle cables is well worth doing. I used Teflon lined cycle cable for the control valve on my heater. The temperature at the lower end (just above the aft end of the oil cooler duct

Gary As far as I can see, you are right. Black and blue have been switched in the diagram. The gauge unit is a variable resistance so it does not matter which side is which. Just match the diagram. I
Phil The instructions on Mod 70 page 2 are "Using the bolt, washer and nut from the old assembly, bolt the TP18B to the arm assembly". The original build manual specifies that bolt as a AN3-7A (Page
