Nigel In respect of the positioning of the banjos on a factory fresh engine. I went to see another builder yesterday, Peter Field in Windlesham. He has just hung his 912S. I took the opportunity to l
Nigel Europa wanted insulation around the fuel hose. The fuel hose supplied was stainless steel covered. It would not have been possible to bend the hose as tightly as in your photos. Sorry. This is
Team I have just bought this kit - it was described as the Mark III version. Would anyone who bought this kit last year, or before, let me know : Whether there was a temperature probe and gauge inclu
The rider here is that if you have a 912S then you need the HD starter motor because within a few hours you will screw up your sprag clutch if you don't ! Mine starts beautifully now - absolutely on
OK - I contacted him at 10.40 pm and he is picking mine up tomorrow. Another unused bit removed from the shelf in my garage ! Richard Richard F.W. Holder 01279 842804 (POTS) Bell House, Bell Lane, 0
Brian I just bought it too. I checked with the PFA and they say it is a "standard option" on the 912S and does not require "PFA modification action". I could forward their email if you wish. On the o
To be fair this doesn't sound like a problem with the carb heater but with the installation of the same. There are a total of 10 additional jubilee clips to be used, and they have all got to be tigh
Duncan, I would disagree with this. An engine runs at cruise power almost all the time. So the speed at which you want the best balance is cruise speed - 5000 rpm. With a car it is possible to balan
I think it depends on more than that. The original twin conical airfilters lived under the cowling and picked up hot air from inside the cowling, the later one piece air filter takes its air from ou
I came to the same conclusion as the carbs were definitely not round enough to even hold the heater on a thou or two while being put into the vice. In the end, rather than risk a 400 or more carb (o
Hi, just received the Dec 2004 issue of the Europa Flyer. I am very interested to see that Brian Allsop managed to get his Kremen CS/VP prop approved without a manifold pressure gauge. When I put my
In very hot weather the carb will be left hot at the end of a flight. If you are planning to start again in (say) the next 30 minutes - when the engine is still hot - then you need to turn off the t
The top takeoff point is between the top collector where the pressure cap sits, and the #2 cylinder head (left front cylinder). A t piece goes in there and a pipe goes to the left hand heater. Then
Hi I do agree (and said so) that the MAP does allow that measure. However there is NO requirement by Rotax or Airmaster for any restriction in the combination of rpm and MAP. None whatsoever, certai
Hi teams, (UK only ! others can ignore). I am negotiating with insurers for renewal of my insurance. All the quotes are for 1,000,000 Liability. I believe there is some suggestion that Europe (the dr
I bought mine from Europa - a 2 1/4 inch gauge - around 75 GBP plus VAT :-( Also available from Aircraft Spruce for rather less money, but I was desperate :-( Richard said that they do not sell them,
Actually the MAP gauge (reading 0 - 50 Inches) is supplied with the 914 engine as MAP is vital with a turbocharged engine. It is not supplied with the 912S. ACS also sell a cheaper gauge for $42.80 (
I suspect that no non-Europa PFA person saw it at all and that all the mods on it are factory experiments, "tests of future factory mods" under some type of "factory exemption". G-KITZ flew from day
I looked at www.att.com and went for directory assistance, put in Miller John Newark DE and it came up with 6 hits. So that is the way to go. I have only picked this up out of interest as Newark DE
