Hi! Ferg. IMHO it doesn't need to exit the fuselage bottom at all if situated alongside the flap actuating hinge slots. Also in that position the operation of the flaps will ensure that no "crud" is
Hi! All This is not spam. Kindly take a minute of your time to read down and look at the attached photos. Sorry for posting this off topic item but I think it warrants an exception to the rules. I ha
ALL, Sorry about any inconvenience caused by my forgetting that the forum doesn't accept attachments but in the circumstances no matter what it was important to make the effort. Regards Bob Harrison.
Hi! Andrew. It is accepted practice to use a small hammer and a hollowed head anvil giving back support. They need to be hit flat and expanded to a specific diameter which stops well short of them be
Hi! David. Looks like you have the right perception of the use for the 1mm thick tufnol, except you may need it to be slightly thicker to take up operational slack in the connection. If that's the ca
Hi! Chuck Since you are now testing all the theory that is suggested please test what is claimed to be the correct procedure........ Torque up to full load a lock nut first measuring very accurately
Hi! Richard I find myself a little bemused why the resistance to fitting a Manifold Pressure Gauge, apart from needing room on the panel? If you have a CS installation without the gauge you will have
Hi! Cliff/All. I would suggest that you give consideration to the fact that it is possible to do as much damage holding the a/c down by tie-downs as the supports. In my case I have a large covered tr
Hi! Ron I used an aerofoil type with static and peito integral mounted on a small 3/4" "plinth" under the wing. Works OK but the plan was to ensure the peito pipe never got bent, pity was.... the loc
Hi! Steve. Make sure the Rose Bearings in the flap drive tube ends are well oiled and that the centre bearings are free and central to receive the drive pin on the flaps every time prior to pushing t
Hi! Paul Further to Grahams notes below there is also the option of the "expanded windows" to give a little more head room and shoulder room. Regards Bob Harrison G-PTAG Europa 337 MKI/Jabiru 3300 Pa
Hi! All. I missed the question which must recently have been posed about "access to rear of panel through Fire Wall" At least one of the Europa demonstrators had such facilities .....probably G-KITS.
Hi! Bryan. As you know I was planning my own trip to incorporate Latvia Estonia and possibly Poland between the Barkaby (Stockholm) and Stauning (Denmark) rallies which are on consecutive weekends co
Hi! Jeff. Yes, firstly read the Pilots Handbook and really digest it. Be sure to get your speed controlled and the aircraft trimmed as recommended for full flaps and correct before you turn on BASE.
Hi! Jeff. 6 years is a taxing period for I am Senior !!!! I can't really remember since my PPL was taken in Ormond Beach Florida over 21 days (45 hours total) when the Europa was 3/4 complete after w
Hi! All and Bryan I had declared my intention to try encompass Latvia and Estonia and probably a landing in Poland all to coincide with the week between the Barkaby (Stockholm) Rally on W/E 3rd and 4
Hi! Tony. If you coil the cables correctly they shouldn't overlap and they should stay outboard of the pins especially so long as they are crimped tight on the nylon bush. Lots of chaps have used a p
Hi! To cure the whole aircraft to make it for a special one off job would be expensive BUT I used my closed trailer which is lined with spray on Agricultural Store Building Foam Insulator. However yo
Hi! John The use of spiral cable wrap is also less likely to catch any water but I think the water and freezing is a long shot anyway, I still have dust in there where I couldn't vacuum out. You don'
Hi! Peter. I thinned mine down some for the same reason. However if I recall correctly the nut is a "nylock" type with a nylon self locking insert, and to grind it down will likely cook the nylon so
