Klaus,
I have too just finished my installation in my motor glider G-CBHI
but with the operating lever on the control column. Still waiting for the UK
modification approval from the LAA.
Regards
Ian Cook

Subject: Europa-List: Beringer wheel/brake for Mono wheel
Just finished the installation of the Beringer wheel/brake kit into my
Europa mono wheel, OE-CKD:
I use Beringer's hand operated master brake cylinder (MP-004.3) with remote
mounted brake fluid reservoir, mounted on the centre console (same position
as the original);
no modifications to the slot and holes for the fixing screws on the centre
console are needed!
(some minor modifications on the master brake cylinder are needed to fit
into the centre console)
The Beringer kit came within one week after ordering, is superbly made,
works perfectly and telephone Support from Beringer is excellent!
They use the AirTrac 7-6:00 tire (without tube), which comes already mounted
on the wheel together with the brake.
Total weight saving: 2,5kg - I weighted all Europa parts: 11,8kg - all
Beringer parts: 9,3kg; both with AirTrac tire
It took me about 6 hours to install the kit.
