I have the Europa stall-warner as well as Mark's Smartass and I believe they both provide a different service. The stall-warner provides me with an alarm at about 5 kts above the stall, so I can inst
Ron and All, I can appreciate what happens in an uncoordinated turns when the A/C is "skidding", i.e. bottom rudder, but I have always been led to believe (and --From my personal experience), that a
Tony, I know of five monos that have landed wheel up and two of those pilots had over 1000 hours in their Europas when it happened, so I recommend an "undercarriage not down" warning for peace of min
William You probably would be safe if the nose was kept low, but to maximise the sink rate in a sideslip or slipping turn, the nose needs to be raised above the horizon. In a glider I suspect the win

Svein, I have the flow control valve installed in my Skydrive system which I find very useful. Throughout the summer months it is generally off, because, unless it is very humid, or I am passing thro
Remi, I am not offering any suggestions, but I am intrigued as to your description of the control surfaces looking normal. When you looked at the control surfaces with the flaps up and with the heavy
The other way is to clean the drive sleeve and torque tube surfaces with acetone and a jet of compressed air, then use a wicking grade Loctite to bond them together after lining up the tailplane trai
Many congratulations, Steve. Hope it is not too long before you can sit in the left seat and join in with the DOTHs! Best wishes, William -- Original Message -- From: Steven Pitt To: europa-list@matr
Nico, I use a domestic 12 volt 50 watt Halogen lamp mounted in my monowheel fairing, which is light (in weight) and is very visible on approach, but does not give a narrow beam for landing at night.
Karl, I agree with you, but the standard Skydrive mechanical valve works very well without trouble and can be operated by a standard wire choke cable available --From any motor factor. Hope that help
Someone asked me for a piece of 5/16" out-rigger tube, but I have lost his name and email address. It has just arrived, so If it is you, please email me off forum with your postal address and I will
Jos and Glenn, I have had the sight tube between the seats of my mono for about 800 hours of flying now and it is totally reliable as a backup for the fuel computer if certain measures are taken to k
Glenn, I was referring to the forward facing vent you have behind the flap drive (that, presumably, is connected to the filler neck) but if you have drilled the little holes, then it cannot pressuris
Paddy and I are intending to meet at Wolverhampton EGBO tomorrow Thursday 12th October at about 12.00 BST. Free landing voucher in Flyer. There is a good restaurant for lunch. Best wishes, William
Alan, Mine is aluminium coloured (not gold anodised); perhaps they come in different shades. Richard is right, it is on the port side at the front near to the oil filter. 1/2" dia flat disc about 3/3
Does the rough running go away when you move the throttle lever back to full throttle? That should test Richard's suggestion. Regards, William -- Original Message -- From: Richard Iddon To: europa-li
Terry, Have you got the 912S shroud fitted to your engine, which takes cold air from behind the prop and forces it down through the cylinder fins? Assuming you have, does your ali baffle across the f
Thanks for the reply, Terry. I intend to purchase a thermocouple or two so that I can monitor the temperature in the vicinity of the regulator with the gills open and then with them taped over, on th
