I had a look at this and decided that it was probably not practical. The
re ason is because the tension on the bungee cord is relatively constant
---From the gear being fully up to fully down. This would be difficult to
achieve w ith the limited length and extension of a conventional spring.
The only way I could see it working is if the geometry was arranged so
that the moment arm increased as the gear was raised. Space is quite
limiting in this area so I gave up at this point

If you built the mass balance arm properly and didn't bugger up the
holes o r have a tail wheel type, the original mass balance arm seems to
be holding up. But over time, side play will wallow out the 3/16 holes
and that is w hat we were concerned about.
I hope you have a good sized access hole. If you do, it takes 2-4
hours d epending on turnbuckles, cables, your tower width, etc. Pretty

The new part is properly made and will serve many years without fail.
If y ou install the TP18 butterfly attachment for the cables it takes 4

So cut the old cables, pull out the arm with weights. Assemble the new

Just to make the point clear. The bungee on the mono is nothing to do

Subject: Was RE: Europa-List: Mod 70.... Now my ramblings on my trike
nose wheel set up.
Karl and all,
IMHO the steel springs or the bungee on a trike nose gear are all meant
to purely accommodate severe shock on a bad landing which otherwise
would have a drastic effect on the nose leg, that is it permits the leg
to move upon receiving a sudden load which otherwise would take it in to
yield stress regions. The so called suspension of the nose wheel depends
entirely on the leg itself flexing. ( That's not to say I like the idea
so don't shoot the messenger!) In any case too much suspension you need
a new propeller ! I had a bad experience with the bungee ( well one or
two really !) when the bump stop had passed through the lays of reeved
bungee cutting through the bungee letting the nose leg extend to the
wire safety strap. Francis Donaldson gave me dispensation to put the
bump stop the other way up fixed to the upper tube and bumping on the
leg between the lays of bungee. This worked OK and so it didn't need to
pass between any bungee reeving. ( I also managed on a wheel barrow
landing to bend the leg downwards prompting Neville Eyre to quip "had I
landed wrong way up ?" Andy Draper was present and so realized there and
then that due to the geometry of the castering pivot any load from
forward of the wheel centre line actually will result in the leg being
bent downwards!
Since my nose wheel departed on a "greaser" landing event (now with the
leg replaced and springs employed) I have an extended pivot spindle with
two roll pins as keepers in place of the single one all has been well.

My own experience confirms this. A spring suspension on the mono would
cause some very interesting landings. It's bad enough on a trike. Very
similar to : removing the shock absorbers from the front suspension of
your car, and driving it at 80 90 km/h along a bumpy grass field.

Karl.
I may be wrong on this as I am working from my memory which can be very
suspect.
My understanding of the Mono undercarriage is that the rubber bungee's
are there to assist with lifting the wheel assembly to the retracted
position. The suspension is managed by the "rubber" block between the
reaction plates. any damping is due to the "thwack" effect mentioned by
Graham, or by the optional , at least it was optional on the Classic,
twin shock absorbers fitted through the middle of the elastomer block.

Michigan landing rights airports (you have to call for customs an hour

Kalamazoo, Pontiac, Saginaw and Sault Ste Marie.
We'd be happy to meet you at Kalamazoo any time! Great restaurant just

I am not pro and should be more carefull but I am sure you are right.
Mono bungee has nothing to do with landing /suspension, damping or
bouncing.
It is only to help pilot to retract.
Manual page 29-5: "To assist pilot in retracting the LG into the centre
tunnel a bungee cord is used".
So, if you loose it, no worries.
I think mono is still retractable w/o bungee and if not - so what?
Coming back to my original question:
I cannot see any obvious problem if changing bungee to spring.
Spring could be more permanent solution, easier to adjust and optimize
and no time period.
Probably spring is heavier than bungee anyway and more expensive
solution also.
For example I would like to have my bungee more powerful.
It is quite easy to retract but that exercise is not sophisticated
enough (!).
Definetely I am not going to tighten it up because of hard labor.
Too taut bungee is probaly giving upp earlier.
So professors - how is a spring???

Tim and Nigel=2C
Thanks for putting me straight. I just assumed that the mono bungee had
the
same function.
On the trigear question I don't see how the bungee or springs only come
int
o play on a hard landing. I think it is exactly the other way round. The
bu
ngee is constantly stretching and contracting on every little bump. I
can a
ctually observe that through my bulkhead window. Only when the
bungee/sprin
g have reached their maximum stretch does the leg take over.
Tim mentions shock absorbers. Now that would have been ideal also for
the t
rigear=2C especially to lessen the slingshot effect of the springs.

I would normally agree with your statement related to the damping effect
of a bungee, however, in the application of the undercarriage (mono) th
e bungee is to assist with the retraction of the landing gear not to pro
vide dampening. Dampening is performed with the rubber block and shock

Subject: Europa-List: Trim Damper Assembly
All,
Before bonding on the top, I want to be certain that the Trim Damper
Assembly is properly adjusted, particularly w/ respect to the amount
of friction when it moves in the slot in TS01. As far as I can tell,
the Build Manual does not address this question, yet it would appear
to be key to having the pitch control system function properly without
burning up the pitch trim motor. I can't seem to get my mind around
the function of this seemingly elaborate confusion of spring, tube,
thru bolt, and nuts of various sizes...it's complexity suggests that,
when properly adjusted, it performs a critical function.
I reference Fig. 2, p. 19-2, and Step 4 & Fig. 6 on p. 19-4.
Can anyone please enlighten me on what proper adjustment would be?
Thanks in advance,
Fred

Hi! Jeff
IMHO the Jabiru 3300 can not be accommodated in the existing Classic
Cowling without massive changes to the cowling . From memory the
crank/propeller shaft is about 2" higher and the installation is about
2" longer than the Rotax Cowl. I believe that the Jabiru people now
produce a cowl to fit the Europa . Just save yourself some severe head
ache, bite the bullet and get one.

Bob Harrison G-PTAG ex 3300 Now 914 Rotax

Dear Europa Listers,
I am looking for any detailed pictures of anyone out in Europaland who
has sucessfully integrated a Jabiru 3300 into an original Europa/Rotax
cowling. From my current research it look as if a Europa/JAbiru cowling
is not available in the US. Bud Yerly of Custom Flight Creations has
responded that they have done such a modification, however, it's going
to take him some time to find the photos.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Jeffrey,
I think I still have the contact that made the Jab 3300 cowling for the
Europa. If your interested I will try and dig up the info. I do have a
JAB3300 cowling for the Europa in the shop but it belongs to a customer.
If your coming to the Sun n Fun show, you could take some measurements
vs the Rotax cowling if that would help. Let me know..

Bob Berube

Bob-
The other option would be to use mine as a mold and make one.=C2- It
woul
d be a lot of work but probably less than adapting a rotax cowl.=C2-
That
might be ap "Plan B"=C2-if he can't get one made. =C2-

Jeff,
I also have the Jabaru 3300 cowling for my Europa under construction.
Where are
you located? I am in SoCal. I will be at Sun n Fun. If it comes to
it, a
mold can be made from my cowling. It does take some time but very
doable. And
I agree with Tom, I think it is a good looking cowling.

It appears to me that the function is to take sudden load applications,
i.e. flutter, and to cancel out any slack in the system behind it,
particularly from the gears in the trim motor assembly. Any slack here
would induce flutter, and the trim damper assembly will make this slack
"invisble".
These trim motors are awfully strong, so I doubt you could adjust the
friction so much that the motor would not be able to move it anymore
and/or burn up.
Also, I believe that, despite the suggestion of "adjustable" components,
that the adjustable range is neglectible. If bolted together properly,
it is performing its intended job (whatever that may be).
> Can anyone please enlighten me on what proper adjustment would be?
I guess everyone has another perception of that the proper adjustment
would be. As of so far no Europa's have come down due to inproper
adjustment, it appears that in reality the adjustment is not critical.
The ommission about this adjustment in the manual is a further
indication that it is not critical. ;-)
I would suggest to set it halfway the available range. I can't recall
how I adjusted it, but most likely I set it halfway the available range
as well.
