Hi All,
This year we will have lots of events planned at Oshkosh, so we will need
extra volunteers to help the builders. I have 8 free weekly admissions for
volunteers. We also provide beds / floor space at our house (it will be
larger this year). Priority will be given to those who volunteered in the
past, and also for those who will be both flying there plane in, and
volunteering.
To be eligible to volunteer, you will need to be there for set-up day on the
26'th, and tear down on the 2'nd. Volunteers also must be available to man
the stand, and help park aircraft during the show.
Please contact me at the Lakeland office via telephone at 863-647-5355 if
you wish to volunteer.
Don't forget to fly your Europa in. We have paid for a large area in the
main display area for the Europa's to park. There will be extra security
there, assistance flying your plane in, going out to eat, getting a place to
stay etc... We will also be providing a nice gift for all those who fly in.
If you are flying your Europa, this is one event that you don't want to
miss. People are even shipping there planes overseas to be there!
Bob Jacobsen & The Europa Owners Club in the US is helping to organize the
event. For more details see there website at:

Happy Flying!

Subject: RE: Europa-List: Hot Running 914
Hi All!
I have been testing a 914UL tri-gear here in Lakeland, FL. This one
actually runs too cold, even on the ground it is hard to get the temps up,
so we are moving the oil cooler back up, & blocking off some of the
radiator, in the Florida HEAT!
This tri-gear has the firewall moved aft in the center tunnel to allow more
outlet area. That is the only deviation from plans that I see, other than a
smoother inlet.
I am not suggesting making mods without consulting Andy or Neville first, I
just wanted to point out that the 914UL doesn't always run hot.
Happy Building!

It would appear from some of the posting to the forum that we all have
addressed the subject of the 914 ground heating problem in about the same
way. That is what makes this forum so educational about a lot of subjects.
I will assume that your statement "I don't blast around the sky at 115% all
the
time", was directed at me as I had given some typical cruise setting I use
in
my a/c. My answer to this is "Neither Do I"
In the maintenance manual that came with my 914 dated 02-01-1997 on page 26
It
lists that Take Off Performance is 5800 RPM and 40 inches MP for max. 5
MINUTES. It also approves Max. Continuous Power at 5500 RPM and 35 inches
MP
which Rotax considers this to be 100% power according to their engine
performance box on page 54. Since I cruise at 5300 RPM and 33 inches MP I am
operating my engine within the parameters set forth by Rotax....and
certainly
this is not 115%.
My original reason for sharing engine speed and MP pressure was so that
others
would have a baseline for temperatures on their own engines
