My original plan was to replace both TP5 and TP6 with a single tube. After removing the TP5 I realized that there was no point at all in removing the TP6. It is only necessary to ensure that it canno
Hi Bill and Sue, Some builders pointed out a potential corrosion problem with my choice of aluminum. There are other choices. George Powell obtained a steel tube from a builder in Germany, and whoeve
Rob, You seem to know a lot about this. But would it be possible to apply to an installed torque tube, i.e. would the platers be able to work with my fuselage on a trailer ? Regards, Karl ___________
Now you tell us. I have been trying to think of a pulling tool but couldn't come up with a solution. Anyway, the final outcome was the same. Karl _____________________________________________________
Hi Ian, Exactly where should we look. I looked at Europa-aircraft.co.uk, europaclub.org.uk, pfa.org.uk, and caa.co.uk/docs/536/MPD%202007005%20REV%201.pdf All I could find is a note under Latest News
Thank you, Richard. I must have been looking at that page without seeing it. I think my brain was locked into a reference to mod 75. _________________________________________________________________
Is there an engineer and Europa owner available anywhere and willing to do some calculations (for a fee of course) and specifications for a simple re-enforcement of the fuselage. For a long time now
I mounted my mini gascolator on the starboard wall in the open space next t o the nosegear suspension. It is mounted low for easy access and cooling. Fuel pump is mounted above t hat on the same wall
Fred, This is a really well designed mod. I like the simplicity and the fact that it is not taking away any usable space. I would hope that the Europa Club mods people will take this on as a standard
Fred, I and others have done same. Tube is attached to tunnel sides with P-clips. Have not had any problems and wouldn't expect any. Karl ________________________________ Fred, I used Nyloflow tubing
Kevin, I have been using a portable 25 liter heavy duty marine tank, firmly strapp ed into the passenger seat (I added an eyebolt at the bottom front wall of the seat for an extra strap), with quickf
Michel, The tanks are high strength blow molded construction using molecular weight (whatever that means) polyethylene, colour is red. Size is 25 liter, measuring 48 x 32 x 28 cm. According to my not
Fred, I agree, and the installation of almost any auxiliary tank is a dodgy acces sory. Also the main tank is not exactly great, is it ? Some of them have de veloped cracks for no apparent reason, an
It might be worth mentioning that the same type of mod was done to G-IRON, picture is in the EF. Karl<html><div></div>> Date: Sat, 5 Jan 2008 09:53:23 +0000> From: g rahamsingleton@btinternet.com> To
Hi, Can you guys enlighten us please as to why you switched back to regular coo lant, especially as you didn't have any coolant problems apparently ? Karl <html><div></div>> To: europa-list@matronics
Craig, I did much the same. It is a perfect way to keep the cable safe and away fr om other things like wiring. I used p-clips. Pardon my ignorence, Jos, but what extreme situation would freeze up th
Hi Jos, I understand. That snowmobile incident must have been interesting. I forgot about the mono. I don't have that open belly, full of mud and grass (and s now?). But the tubing could be taken rig
No, everything except some wiring is along the inside walls of the tunnel. I have a removable cover on the tunnel and a window in the bottom and front of the tunnel. Even though I have the finger bra
Paul, I wouldn't know the answers to those questions. Most 912S's have that shrou d. I once checked the temperature under the shroud and found it only to be about 45C above oat. I was hoping to tap i
