Yes, but the mini troll that I hire to stay inside the fuselage while the clecos are being inserted in the fuse-join procedure would be really happy for the extra hazard pay for the bumps, blood spla
Mike, It is possible that the tank will shrink a bit if the fuel is offloaded, possibly causing the outlet rubber hose to move up slightly, and contact the torque tube. This happened to me, anyway. I
Mike, IMHO, It would be good to understand how the clearance issue happened, before committing a solution..or even whether you need one. Determining whether it was tank shrinkage rather than slippage
According to the forum, the cutoff date for the old non-fluorinated tank seems to have been sometime around or before 2000, but it is hard to tell for sure. Greg _____ Greg, Thanks for the info. What
The servo that comes with our Europa has a 10-position LED light which will report the position of the flap. If you have electric flaps, then you already have it, since it comes with the kit. If not,

Europhiles, For those that have a hydraulic governor such as jihostroj, commonly used on 914 constant speed applications, what did you use for the control cable / where did you get it? I cannot seem
Hi John, Yes, by all means send me some pics. My setup is for the whirlwind as well. I especially want to know what kind of bracket you used to hold the cable (near the governor) and how long the sha

Rowland, I can comment on (1) below. If you position the cooling bottle on either footwell, close to the cooling slits on the sides of the upper cowling, the coolant bottle can be seen through the sl
Hello Fred, If the mylar is conductive, then it likely will change the transmission qualities of your antenna. How much depends on the amount of coverage. It's possible that there's a non-conductive
