Didn't someone suggest leaving the pins in the freezer overnight to shrink them enough to make insertion in the mounting frame easier? Martin Tuck Europa N152MT Wichita, Kansas
Hi Folks, Has anyone replaced their older Rotax 912UL starter with a Sky-Tec starter? This one claims to crank 10% faster and lower current draw compared to the old Rotax starter. I believe the newer
Hi Folks, I have had my Grand Rapids EIS (Model 4000) installed for a year now and it really performs well - ah, until recently. While I was taking a cursory look during one flight I noticed my oil p
Hi Folks, Thanks to all who offered suggestions for the problems I have been having with my EIS. I decided to disconnect each sender in turn to find out which one appeared to causing the fluctuations
Great to see the Europa in the magazines again. For me, I drew a lot of inspiration from the videos - I still have all three, even the original one (in which the girl seen with Ivan turned out not to
Hi Folks, I'm still considering a panel refurb - out with the pneumatic system and in with an EFIS - I really like the Dynon Skyview. Anyone installed autopilot servos? I think I've seen some roll se
Thanks for all the replies - most helpful. I just need to know the prices for the Mods now. I see I would need a new pitch pivot tube. Couldn't just find a local welder to put on the plates? Martin T
Every time I look at the Parts and Accessories page on the Europa Aircraft website it just has 'tba' for the price so I don't see how you can order anything. Martin Tuck Europa N152MT Wichita, Kansas
Great video - what is going on with those wings at around the 4:20 mark? Is that flutter or just a shaky camera. I'd edit that bit out. Regards, Martin Tuck Europa N152MT Wichita, Kansas
Hi Folks, I am forever having trouble keeping the exhaust heat shield located using the 6 inch worm drive band clamps. I tighten hem up as hard as I can but they expand with the heat and vibrate off.
I'm thinking maybe either the sender is indicating low or the instrument is reading low. On initial start I get upwards of 65-70 psi before it settles to around 45 psi once it gets warm. Just my 2c w
Hi Folks, My brake pads are more than 10 years old and I think are probably hard and shiny - anyway, less effective than they used to be so I think it is time I replaced them. Does anyone know the Ai
Hi Folks, I've just replaced the brake pads on my Europa. They seem very thick - compared to the worn ones which were almost down to the rivet heads! I'm sure it will all go back together OK but I ha
When I replaced the brakes recently I thought the red rubber block (that has the vee's cut in it) which forms part of the landing gear suspension was looking a bit tired. I looked at some early photo
Hi Jim, Thanks as always for your response. I would like to see your photos yes. I'm particularly interested in your method of lifting (and keeping) the aircraft up such that you can work on the gear
Thanks for all the responses - it seems the red rubber compression block (which you fashioned yourself to the right shape) was replaced by a pre-molded black rubber version. A new one seems to be aro
Hi Guys, I've just finished up my annual condition inspection. I have the aircraft hangared and the only time I use the trailer is when I do my inspection or otherwise feel the need to take the wings
Hi Folks, I think I asked this question before but I couldn't have kept the responses. Someone recommended a electric powered winch to pull my monowheel onto its trailer. I've read some reviews on Am
