and while we are at it (I mean the Europa list topics), please let us stop copying into replies the well written but copious comments from Mike. I don't need to reread then 10 or 15 times. Ira -- Ira
Hi Peter, The 914 is a different kettle of fish when it comes to airstart because it is a low compression engine (8.5:1 if I recall correctly) versus the 912S which is 10.5:1. The required force to s
Hi Ron, I have not tried powering down my engine as I don't see any point until such time as I have my long wings. The data on inability to airstart is direct from the factory. No real point in perse
Hi John! Frankly, I never knew where JH got his info. You and I well remember the constant friction in the office back in the day! I do know that John had no personal experience with inflight restart

before chucking the expensive regulator , you might check to see that alternator is putting out the appropriate 16 or so Vac, although odds are on the regulator. -- Ira N224XS Read this topic online
Realistically, I think you are asking too much from available hardware. A rotax tri-gear Europa has a range of about 300 nm with the factory tank at reasonable cruise. There is no standard long range
max gross wt has little to do with engine output for experimental a/c and a lot to do with structural limits. Homebuilts do not need to certify to part 23 performance stds. No tip tanks for Europas w
Yes Ron, the CRP of the panel is transparent to GPS unless you re-did your panel in carbon fiber. The plexi windshield is also transparent to GPS. Unless you metalized your firewall, it too is essent
After trying several locations on the cowl of my 912s, I can definitively say that the cowl is simply the wrong place if accuracy matters. My first location was through the most foward duct plate und
I am not certain I understand what you are looking for. In my more or less standard factory design installation of my 912s there is only the aluminum dust from the lower cowl large entrance. In my ca
Hi All, I found this recent document on the US NTSB website. It seems Liberty has had a few (6) A/C lose doors in flight, just like the early Europas (at least I have not heard of a door flying off i

Its one thing to have a Cessna door or window pop - nothing happens to the aircraft, pilots undergarments excepted. When a door open on a Europa or a Liberty, there is an excellent chance that the do
Hi Bob, Did you check the compatibility of the nylon formulation with gasoline and or alcohols? Other than that, the nylon requires compression fittings which are not what was supplied with the kit.
Triboelectric pinholes (static discharges) happen in thin teflon, which is why the aerospace grade of Aeroquip 666 (the premiere fuel hose IMHO) has an embedded carbon strip through the length of the

Ah! A perfect example of how a common language divides the UK and the US!!! If even Englishmen in the UK can't understand it, what are those Brussellonians up to? "Approval Under a Derogation Authori
The full width panels, like the one I use, were made for FlightCrafters in Zephyrhills, FL. Try calling Russ Lepre to see if he can still have them made, or you can try one your self. It basically ju
