Hi Frans, Just for interest - the UK LAA's website contains some useful info on Mogas and the LAA requirements. It's under the tab "LAA aircraft" and sub tab "Mogas". There's general requirements for
Hi, I'm suffering from exhaust cracks - specifically in both of the rear cylinder downpipes on the inside of the tight bend. The cracks form around the circumference of the bend and when first discov
Hi Pete, thanks for your reply. I should have said that mine already is an XS version, stainless steel by CKT. On mine its both the rear pipes that keep cracking (twice for both of them). The front o
Hi Pete, thanks again for your reply, interesting to hear about your problems too. Thank You also for the CKT contact details if I come to need it. I think I've been supplied with a duff one. Waiting
Hi Bud, Many thanks for your input on this. Interesting to hear about the problems you've had too. Just to give you some data from me, my problem has been both the rear pipes cracking, ie cyls 3 and
Hi, I'm sure everyone has their own method but I rig from my open trailer every time I fly and this seems to work for me: Always put the port wing on first. Slide it right home ensuring the front and
Hi! I know nothing about Northolt, but it does indeed say in Pooleys that it's not available to civilian single engine aircraft so I guess that (unless you know someone to slip a few quid to!) then s
Just wondering if anyone might have a spare seat harness (the standard Europa supplied black one) in good condition that they don't need anymore? I know that some people have modified their cockpits

I used an empty plastic washing up liquid bottle filled with brake fluid, connected with plastic hose. The nozzle of the bottle is similar size to that of the bleed nipple. I wire locked the hose on
Hi, a friend of mine is buying a classic mono and is looking for an open trailer to buy. If anyone in the UK has one available to sell I could pass your details on to him. Cheers, Jon -- G-TERN Class

I was slightly sad to read that some people would "rather not use the Europa company if at all possible". Like everyone I will always try to source cheaper second hand parts but if that is not possib
Unfortunately this has happened a fair few times, indeed to a mate of mine just last year. What happens is that the (rear mounted) gas strut twists the door frame a little when it is open. Thus when
Hi, just to clarify and expand on my previous comments and noting the very valid comments by John Wighton and others, the doors, even when closed can be semi permanently deformed by the continuous ac
The "Rolls Royce" of folding bikes I think is the Brompton. www.brompton.com (Other makes undoubtably may or may not exist which may or may not be better...!) They are expensive though - I would love
I guess you will have "x" hundred pilots and "x" hundred views on this! My feeling is that I welcome the possibility that we may one day be given the privilege to be able to consider extending our op
I'm with you on his one Bob. IMHO there is nothing wrong with the door design, in fact it is very good. But during our type conversions we need to learn how it works and thereafter religiously includ
