Hi! Tony,

MARK II relay deck was produced by the Menzimer organisation to 
eliminate a switching reversal problem in the MARK I  ...... as I have 
said in the other message if your panel switch alone in happy using full 
power it is probable that it doesn=99t require a relay to protect 
it. 

I would expect that Menzimers no longer produce the MARK I so no chance 
of mixing them if you order one.   However ensure that your switch is 
happy handling full power in regular use.

Loads......


Hi Bob, 

What is the Mk II model no please? Do you know how it is different, 
other than shape which is a real bitch.

Peter.....it is more than you would want for much more than 10 minutes. 
Please note I have not been talking about a runaway situation. Just a 
rogue relay deck not reversing until reaching the end of the travel.  
That has now been rectified by fitting the MARK II relay from Ford Allan 
/Menzimer organisation.

approx how many pounds of push/pull stick force is it at cruise with a 
runaway trim (with a stock length stick)?

cheers & thx,
Pete

................Just don=99t shorten the control stick ......use 
the bent one and fix it by rotating it to best position.

Answer:- NO SHORTER WHATEVER.  TO LAND FULLY NOSE UP TRIM IT WOULD BE 
Extremely difficult on your own ! but power assisted by the passenger 
probably ! But the extreme loads are a question over the mechanical 
strengths of the linkages !  When I had to go to fully trimmed up to get 
the damn relay deck to reverse it was easier to let it go fully nose up 
trim and pray the deck would let itself reverse when it got to the end 
of travel. Been there done that when Menzimer was insisting my problem 
was wiring when in actual fact they eventually discovered that the end 
of the travel by the relay masked the actual problem in the relay . 
Since I fitted the MARK II relay deck never a problem !!!!!

Question for those who have test flown their Europa.

How far can you shorten the control stick and still comfortably land the 
aircraft with the stabilizer stuck at full travel in either direction , 
without being Superman?
