Hi, I have built a mono Europa from scratch and then flew it for some 1,800 hrs. I had previously flown many types of gliders and light aircraft, amassing about 700 hrs power and 1,500 hrs gliding. I was a fully categorised gliding instructor and have spent 10 yrs as a class rated power instructor for the Light Aero Association in the UK. I only mention the above so that you have some idea of the validity of what I am about to say. The Mono Europa is not an easy aircraft to land or take off safely. In the hands of an 'above average experience' pilot with tail dragger hours the Mono is a delight to fly but challenging. The Mono is definitely not suitable for early training. Be careful also as I am led to believe that getting insurance cover for a Mono in the USA is between difficult and impossible. Bearing in mind that you appear to already have the kit I would strongly urge you to consider building it as a Tri-Gear. Unfortunately this would involve you in some more expense, but it is a much more user friendly aircraft to fly. If you continue to build as a Mono then it is only a matter of time, after completion, before an incident will occur and whoever was flying it will be put off flying for life. One last recommendation is to power the aircraft with the engine it was designed for, ie Rotax 912 or 914. Many alternative engines have been installed in the past but each requires a different 'fire wall forward' kit. Only the Rotax series of engines can be fitted with the Europa Aircraft standard kit. The Rotax engine powers most Europas world wide and has proved to be very reliable. This last comment cannot be said for certain other Engines. If you have need for any further communication then please ask.

Subject: Mono/Tri-Gear, height differences
From: "italianjon" <jon.catilli(at)gmail.com>
Date: Aug 06, 2015
Hi All, I am trying to find some information on a specific height difference between the Mono and the Tri-gear. I am assuming on the Europa website the given height will be to the highest point, which is both cases is the top of the tail. What I am interested in is the height to the highest point between the doors, i.e. the top of the cockpit. In my hanger my Europa (Mono) lives under the wing of Cessna, and I can push the my tail past the its wing tip easily. There is loads of space between the wing tip of the Cessna and the top of my cockpit. I am wondering if a Tri-gear would fit underneath also.

Hi all, This is a question that can only be answered by a careful, thoughtful test program. No one offs, please. In old flapped Pipers, it is a common trick to suddenly pull flaps to half or full when nearing Vr. One jumps off the ground with little deceleration. It is a cowboy stunt. A moment of wind shift or inattention and you are back on the ground - hard. In a trigear like mine, this is a useless thought since the flap motor is so slow. Down here in Georgia where my field is often at 3,000 - 3,500 density and 2400 in length, I usually use 5-10 of flaps but it is hard to see much difference. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=445683#445683 ________________________________________________________________________________

Since the OP is in New Jersey, it is important to point out that experimental home built aircraft are generally not legal for primary instruction since they may not be used either for hire, or for commercial purposes, i.e, for paying a flight instructor. If the CFI volunteers for the kids, it may be a different story. At my field, the Candler Field Museum at GA2, we teach kids to work on classic and antique aircraft and they earn an hour of flight instruction for ten hours of work, but they fly a certificated Cub they reconstructed under A&P supervision. Three of our kids have already soloed in it. Under no circumstance would I attempt primary instruction in a Europa mono wheel. If you are lucky not to wreck it, you will still scare the kids to death. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=445685#445685 ________________________________________________________________________________

Are you saying you use 5-10 of flaps for take-off ? Mine stays on the ground for ages if I forget (!) to put the flaps down ! I use 15 degrees on tarmac and 19 on grass. With a 10 knot headwind I am off in 250 yards on tarmac and 350 yards on grass (if it isn't too bumpy which messes up the aerodynamics), Density altitude is normally about 300 feet though.

I fitted my rad duct and the radiators and its all fine. Cowling fits as well.. However the roof of the duct is pretty much up against the firewall. I am assuming that i need to open the roof of the duct to provide an exit for the air which comes in through the two round holes in the cowling. Is this correct? Also I seem to remember that there is a ratio between inlet and cooling air exhaust. Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi Richard, Yes. When I was based at latitude 41N and had a 4500 concrete runway at sea level, I never used flaps for T/O. Never had a performance issue, but I will admit to not carefully collecting flight test data on take off run. Sadly, my BlueMountain data logging feature was discontinued in my G4 making new collection more onerous. At latitude 33 where the average temp feels 20F warmer, more humid, and starting at 900' AGL, my habit is to use a small amount of flap on my grass strip. Recall that with our flaps, lift increases in the early part of travel and less in the late travel whereas drag increases mostly in the late travel. Without flight test and therefore only my opinion/experience 5 - 10 of flaps increases lift (and minimally at t/o speed, induced drag) and minimally increases form drag. Perhaps at half flap the lift is maxed out without too much extra drag, I would think at 19 you are getting more drag without much more lift. My strip is far too rough to take careful measurements, but perhaps Europa could try a wee bit of CFD since they have the form data and the software.

Hi Ira, In the more regulated UK world I suspect Europa did quite a bit of flight testing to arrive at the take off flap setting of 18 deg. quoted in the section 5 of their Owners Manual. Regarding CFD I know that the current Europa (Swift) had a bit of trouble getting the Europa form into their computer as some of it was originally designed and built using Nigel Graham's CAD system ( Cardboard Aided Design).

Hi Brian, Interesting! The reason I suggested CFD was that I had been told that one of the first things David did on acquiring Europa was to obtain a high res 3D laser scan model for CFD (and manufacturing). As for my use of less flaps, that was based on my initial 40 hr flight test program at KZPH in 2004. ZPH has long paved runways near SL. Acceleration to 50 kt was faster with minimal flaps selected than half flaps. This may have been impacted by my C.G. being rather forward and, having just moved my main battery to the rear fuselage, I will reexamine the issue. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=445721#445721 ________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Fuel Tank Treatments
Date: Aug 09, 2015
I am looking for advice on whether and how to treat my fuel tank. I inherited a project, which had been in build for no less than 17 years! As a result, I am fairly sure that it has one of the early fuel tanks, which I believe can have problems with ethanol fuel and delaminating or cracking. I am thinking of treating it before it is filled for the first time by brushing on a couple of coats of Jeffco 9700 or similar through the access hole in the top of the tank; I have experience with the Jeffco from my Lancair build. It is really expensive and a pain to put on, but worth it if it stops future problems. Has anyone tried this, or any similar treatment? I would really appreciate any inputs.

Are the running / maintenance costs greatly different to a 912-ULS? Does it use mogas or avgas just as well?

I was invited to do the flight testing for the initial issue of a UK permit in a friend's mono- a few years ago and thereafter sat with him for several hours while he became familiar with his aircraft. Apart from that we've done several other flights together, both near and far. He's also done quite a bit of flying on his own, seemingly without any trouble. Well, there was one occasion when an EGT probe needed replacing but that was easy enough to sort out. Compared with my 100hp 912ULS, the performance is quite exhilarating during take-off, so much so that during my first fast taxi runs it actually got airborne around 40 kts (below stall) which took me by surprise. Andy Draper informed me (and I'm ready to be corrected if memory is failing me) that the stronger propeller wash generates enough additional lift at the wing roots to cause this effect. Anyway it definitely happened, so I often didn't bother to put the throttle through the gate during take-off, using only 100hp and saving the extra 15hp for flying when carrying a passenger. Climb rate when fully laden is in the order of 1400'/min with full power, which goes to show that the turbo certainly delivers. The new 915is would be fun to experience. Because we used only unleaded mogas, I never got to see the benefits of the turbo at altitude, but then again I've been a professional helicopter pilot for over 40 years and get nose-bleeds and the jitters much above 1000'. All the limited heroism I ever had got used up when I was learning to fly in military Harvards (AT6 Texans) when I was 18. Climbing to 10000' to do spins seemed a waste of flying time which could have been better spent enjoying the scenery from much closer to Mother Earth. The basic 914 weighs 16 lbs more than the basic 912ULS. In level flight I recall part of the initial test flying required Wide Open Throttle for a short dash and my friend's mono- Europa hit Vne 165 knots easily enough. So, there are noticeable performance benefits if you want them.

Phil, The turbo wastegate is a definite minus point although versions more modern than mine now have a lubrication point in the shaft which should limit the tendency to get stuck. Otherwise it clearly has the extra power for getting out of tight spots, but the best aspect of it is that it offers 100% power up to 17,000ft and stays just as efficient as you climb whilst normally aspirated engines run out of puff. I can do 150kts TAS (130kts IAS) at 10k burning around 21l/hr, which I suspect is beyond 912/S capabilities. It will use Mogas, UL91 or Avgas, but I try to avoid the latter as every 91X engine should.

Hi John I fabricated one out of 7000 Aluminium: http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=27732 Side note is I didn't like the binding/grinding that was going on because of the cable angles so turned some conical spacers that work great.

Hi Will, sounds like you need to move the duct forward, there should be something like a 1''+ gap between the rear [ 45 degree ] corner of the duct and the bottom of the S/S firewall. Limiting factor is the coolant hoses to the rad' getting too close to the exhaust, they will need lagging in firesleeve and reflective foil oversleeve, [ good thing to do anyway]. Cutting holes in the ''roof'' will only make things worse, the high pressure air in the duct will go up into the cowl and make a bad job worse.

Phil, I only have good to say for my 914UL. Except for some overtightened carb bowls (old torque specs) it has proven to be virtually trouble free. It pulls my Tri off the ground quickly, very brisk acceleration, climb out at 1400 fpm. At 6500=92, 29=94 MP, 5000 RPM provides 138 kts true and 3.9 gph. I=92m sure the Airmaster C/S prop helps with all these. I use 100LL exclusively as MoGas is not available on any of the airfields from which I operate regularly and I don=92t like carting around big jugs of MoGas. Just means I have to change the oil more frequently and watch the lower plugs for fouling. Alcor TCP or Decalin RunUp seem to help on those lead issues. I can=92t imagine what the Europa would do with the new 915. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop (75 hrs).

Subject: Re: Rotax 914-UL
From: Bud Yerly <budyerly(at)msn.com>
David and Phil give excellent differences. Here is what I tell my clients: 912S is a reasonable price=2C easy to maintain and easy to service. It is shaky on start and stop so cracks in the exhaust should be watched cl osely. Takeoff is not spectacular=2C but ROC is about 500 FPM. TO Roll is 600-700 feet and initial climb is 800 ish with a constant speed prop. Being normally aspirated=2C the Bing carbs don't lean well above 3500 MSL. Normal cruise at 5500 MSL yields about 125-130 KTAS at 5.5GPH. If you plan flight ops below 10K (5500-7500) it is adequate and can yield 2 5-28 NM/GAL Runs on 90 octane auto fuel without a hitch. It gives the most bang for the buck for the Rotax series. Whereas: The 914 is nearly twice the price. Troubleshooting is more time consuming and many of us have studied the syst ems but easy diagnosis is still time consuming. Pressurized carbs require careful assembly and attention to leaks. New TCU units can be electronically monitored and analyzed with DOS 8 compu ter emulators ONLY. Wastegates normally require lube (although AV gas seems to keep mine lubed) Requires high octane in hot climates=2C at least 92-93. (I use 100LL) However: When combined with a constant speed propeller (more cost)=2C it is a terrif ic performance altering addition to the Europa. Takeoff roll is 550-600 feet at 45 KIAS fully loaded. (Ground static thrust of 500 pounds.) You scarcely have time to check the engine instruments bef ore you are at takeoff speed. Initial ROC 1500. In tests=2C my lowly TRIGEAR climbs at max continuous power at an average o f 700 FPM to 10=2C000 MSL at 90 KIAS fully loaded and some. Most efficient cruise MPG seems to be 7500-10=2C000 MSL. I flight plan 1.5 GAL and 18 NM to get to altitude. It exceeds 140 knots easily at 1000 MSL at max continuous power. Cruising at 9.5-10.5K=2C I make 140 KTAS at 5.5 all day. Slow down a bit a nd I can easily get 28-30 NM/GAL. Higher cruise altitude does not increase range significantly unless equippe d with a long range tank and lightly built. When you have to get over the weather quickly as I do=2C the 914 does it be tter=2C and more reliable than any other engine out there. The airplane is 20=2C000 compromises flying in close formation=2C the choic es are yours.

I can't help with locating the boxes, but can chime in with a super endorsement of the trig kit..... Awesome solid radios that not even my shaky hummelbird could do damage to. In my tiny bird I mounted them behind my seat bulkHead (the only feasible spot) which had the benefit of very short rf cable runs. I'm always 5x5. For sure I will add a set (or at least the head units) to my Europa pile of parts getting into formation.

Although I was a victim of an overboost a few years ago and thus already needed to replace the engine, I would always go for a 914 again, especially since my flying is normally around FL 100 but also often above. At MTOM in FL 100 I see TAS around 125 kt at 19 l/h. In my experience the 914 runs happily on 95 octane premium car fuel (I refuel at the car station on my trailer almost any time) up to temperatures of 40C OAT and up to FL 160 without any hiccup. I cannot remember Rotax recommending another fuel for the 914 compared to the 912S. Another clear plus is, that the 914 is not at all prone to carburetor icing (at least without intercooler). Still the best Rotax engine in my opinion.

Thanks again Bud, The thing is that I have the engine installed and the firewall done per the manual. Id be loath to undo it all however if thats what it takes..... Do you have an instruction of how to put the firewall behind the nose gear frame? Or a picture at least. I can imagine roughly how it might be done...im thinking putting in a bulkhead and lining it and the tunnel with firewall blanket. I assume the bottom is not covered allowing the air to exhaust.

There are two fly-ins coming up in September in the eastern US, both of which sound like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, they are the same weekend. One is in Kentucky, the other is in South Carolina. We encourage you to attend whichever works for you based on your location and weather. It would be great to have a group of Europas at both! Triple Tree Aerodrome Fly-In September 9-13, 2015 SC00 / Woodruff, SC We plan to attend and camp at this fly-in and hope many other Europa owners will join us. The venue sounds terrific and there should be lots of planes to see, interesting seminars on Saturday, great food and nice grounds to walk and enjoy. The website with full details and arrival procedures is http://www.tripletreeaerodrome.com/triple-tree-fly-in.php EAA Rough River Fly-In September 11-13, 2015 2I3 / Rough River State Resort Park, KY We have attended this fly-in and there are many activities, ranging from poker run & spot landing contests to bluegrass music on Friday night and a banquet on Saturday. The website for more information is http://kyeaasportaviation.tripod.com/ If the weather doesnt cooperate for SC, and is good for KY, well be there instead!

Subject: Re: Cooling
Will, I missed the earlier stages of this thread, but an alternative approach to the problem is to fit a propeller with a high degree of twist. I had always had cooling issues (like having to shut down & wait for things to cool down if delayed in a queue to take off at a rally) with my low twist Woodcomp SR 2000 prop which were transformed/eliminated on changing to a high twist Woodcomp Sr3000W, quite apart from going faster and more economically. Warp drive blades and most other blades seen on Rotax powered planes have twist (that is difference in incidence between 1/3 radius & tip) of around12 degrees. Simple analysis shows this is about right for sitting still at half throttle. At air speeds of 100kts the central portion of such propellers is working in beta mode effectively diverting air away from the cooling inlets. Look at any WW2 warbird, racer or modern turbo prop and you will find they all have twists of the order of 28 degrees so that at normal operating speeds, the blade is producing effective thrust along its whole length. I will send you, off network,the text of the analysis/comparitive trials published in the Europa mag some years back.

Thanks for all the replies on this subject. I must admit that I was wary of the additional complexity of operation and maintenance but it doesn't sound like that's a problem. I almost purchased a flying mono a few years ago that had a 914 but didn't for the very reason that it had a 914. Wish I had now .... it was a good one. Anyway, I've recently flown behind a 914 and all of the numbers in your replies stack up. The initial climb with turbo certainly leaves a smile on your face and I also found that a perfectly safe take off could be achieved without using the extra power.

Jim, Fine. Experience shouldn't be an issue - it is a deliberately relaxed trip, not aiming to cover thousands of miles in a day and you will have any help you need with things like flight plans, customs, route planning. Where are you based? We can no doubt arrange for one of our number to meet up and fly the leg over the channel in loose formation if that is something you would find helpful.

Hi Pete I have fitted both the OLED transceiver and the mode S units in my previous build G-TORO and now fitting them into my recently bought Europa G-CFKZ. IMHO they are fantastic units and if installed properly with good antennae will prove to be great additions to your plane. The built in intercom is brilliant and coupled with good headsets beats anything else hands down. The frequency dual watch facility on the Radio is brilliant. The transponder is also ADS-B ready so supplying a GPS feed and you then visible to any aircraft with TCAS and a further help to ATC units whom don't have secondary radar. If you are a dab hand at electrics i would suggest doing the connector yourself and avoid the pre-made Loom available. I say this purely due to the loom available, (well the one supplied by LX Avionics) is rather heavy and you can buy a plastic connector housing for the Radio from Maplins which is lighter than the one supplied with the radio. Call Mike Pettican from LX Avionics and he will sort a good deal for you. Usually they have units in stock and if you local to the South Northants area you can collect. If you need any further info, don't hesitate to ask.

Pete, I have a funke TRT800H transponder in my Europa, so far few but good experiences. As for the COM I prefered the Dittel KRT2: excellent unit with a reasonable price, low power consumption, dual watch, there exists an adapter for the Microair COM for an easy upgrade. Very good experiences so far. Have a look at there website for more information.

Subject: Arplast, closing down and PV50 support
From: "italianjon" <jon.catilli(at)gmail.com>
Date: Aug 15, 2015
Hi fellow PV50 owners (and owners of other Arplast props) Has anyone else heard that apparently Arplast are closing down due to product litigation against them. I am going to try to contact them for support on my prop next week. However a view of their website has an Adeiu Arplast press release on it. I bounced it off a French speaker I know on another forum and apparently it is very direct in its statements towards the French appeals court, that allegedly over ruled product laws and aviation expert witnesses in the award of unspecified compensations. Obviously only their side of the story is displayed. Therefore I am wondering if anyone has more details on this? To bring balanced information to light. But also are there any places I could go for advice and support on the prop. I have seemingly excessive play in the tips of 2 blades. The third has a small amount of play but isn't concerning. The documentation available on the PV50 is pitiful and therefore I have no way of knowing the play limits allowed, or if anything can be done to address the play. Therefore what I am looking for is as follows:- 1) play limits allowed on each blade 2) can anything be done by me to improve the play 3) any advice on getting the pv50 overhauled if required.

All Thank You for your comments and pointing out the dangers of using the Europa for a training aircraft. I had a chance to fly a Europa once and it was an absolute joy to fly. Our thought was to give the students who built the aircraft a chance to fly in it and also handle the aircraft in the air. There was no intent to actually do any real flight training with the students. Thank You all for pointing the dangers that await us in that area. Just as a side note for everyone, Sonex Aircraft, LLC holds an FAA Letter of Deviation Authority (LODA) allowing it to provide type-specific transition flight training for the Sonex line of aircraft. The LODA authorizes Sonex Aircraft, LLC to provide training for pilots building, buying or considering a Sonex design. The training is for aircraft familiarization and transition purposes only. Student applicants must already hold a pilot certificate with appropriate category and class rating, as well as any required endorsements. So there is a way to give training in a homebuilt aircraft but it is a very special case. For those of you who have completed their Europa's and no longer need their tools we would greatly appreciate it, if you would consider possibly donating your tools to the Camden Youth Aviation Program. We are a registered 501(c)3 so your donation would be tax deductible. More information about our program can be found on our Facebook page or our website www.camdenyap.org We have aircraft A189. I have included some photos of the aircraft.

Hi. I replaced my Microair 760 with a Trig TT21 the flexibility that design has for installation is really useful , I already had a Trig transponder so I suppose matching the units was part of the decision . One thing about Trig is that their support is excellent in fact I would say even better than that. They upgraded my transponder to the current version to enable the ADS-b co-ordinates to be displayed, even though ADS-b had always been fully functional. They offered to do it even though it was not absolutely necessary and they turned it round within the day without charge.

I too have TRIG units fitted now for 2 years with faultless and excellent performance. One big plus for Trig is their second to none service. Initially when I fitted the Mode S transponder I had difficulties which eventually turned out to be my aerial connections. Trig sent me a replacement unit as an elimination ploy, free of charge , 24 hr delivery. Regardless of price I rank TRIG units and the company very highly.

They upgraded my transponder to the current version to enable the ADS-b co-ordinates to be displayed, even though ADS-b had always been fully functional. They offered to do it even though it was not absolutely necessary and they turned it round within the day without charge.

I certainly wish you and your program the very best of luck! I believe kids programs like yours, ours, here in Georgia, and the program at Flabob in California have a significant positive impact on their participants. In our own little way, we are keeping alive the excitement of aviation in the next generation (who would mostly just rather play video games). Here is a link to our most recent newsletter: http://www.peachstateaero.com/files/1414/3895/4893/AUGUST_2015.pdf Funny, BTW that you mentioned Sonex. The EAA donated a Sonex kit to our program this spring. I was tasked with supervising the building of the included AeroVee 2.1 engine (read souped-up series 1 volkswagen) from parts.

Subject: Arplast, closing down and PV50 support
Date: Aug 19, 2015
Therefore what I am looking for is as follows:- 1) play limits allowed on each blade. 2) can anything be done by me to improve the play. No Play limits were ever published by ARPLAST. However, unlike many other VP props, this play will only disappear when the propeller is rotating due centripetal force. ( It is a bit the same on large fan turbine engines(eg RB211) which when rotating slowly in the wind make a terrible clattering noise as the fan blades slop loosely in their mounts.) In other words it is absolutely normal for there to be a fair amount of play at the tips of an ARPLAST. In my experience with this prop the most likely cause of 'excessive' play is corrosion of the root thrust bearings. This can only be checked by dismantling the prop casing. This is also the only way that the working parts of the prop can be checked and lubricated. I ordinarily do this on an annual basis. As far as I am aware ARPLAST never issued any maintenance instructions with their props. All I will say is that ARPLAST product support is virtually nonexistent. 3) any advice on getting the pv50 overhauled if required. I am not sure where you are, although I assume from your address that you are in Italy. Unfortunately if this is the case I cannot help with any suggestions as I do not know your local regulations or procedures. What I can say, is that all that I know about them, is what I have learned by working on them and learning the hard and sometimes expensive way. The ARPLAST PV50 prop is basically a good piece of equipment when it is properly set up and maintained and will provide reasonable serviceability. It is however difficult to set up accurately and maintenance is largely down to you with virtually no guidance from the manufacturer. Though I am unaware of the demise of the company I cannot say that it surprises me if they are in trouble. By the way if you do manage to get them to answer the phone you MUST speak French. Pete , -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server(at)matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server(at)matronics.com] On Behalf Of italianjon Sent: 16 August 2015 07:14 Subject: Europa-List: Arplast, closing down and PV50 support Hi fellow PV50 owners (and owners of other Arplast props) Has anyone else heard that apparently Arplast are closing down due to product litigation against them. I am going to try to contact them for support on my prop next week. However a view of their website has an Adeiu Arplast press release on it. I bounced it off a French speaker I know on another forum and apparently it is very direct in its statements towards the French appeals court, that allegedly over ruled product laws and aviation expert witnesses in the award of unspecified compensations. Obviously only their side of the story is displayed. Therefore I am wondering if anyone has more details on this? To bring balanced information to light. But also are there any places I could go for advice and support on the prop. I have seemingly excessive play in the tips of 2 blades. The third has a small amount of play but isn't concerning. The documentation available on the PV50 is pitiful and therefore I have no way of knowing the play limits allowed, or if anything can be done to address the play. Therefore what I am looking for is as follows:- 1) play limits allowed on each blade 2) can anything be done by me to improve the play 3) any advice on getting the pv50 overhauled if required.

Date: Aug 20, 2015
Will, I=99m attaching photos here and will post to your off line email if you can=99t see them here... Again, in the US we can modify from the manual so consult your country=99s rules. This works really well for cooling and maintenance. First photo in the album is the firewall installed with Aircraft Spruce Firewall 2000 kit (P/N 05-00950) material. This can be smooth, depending on the customers patience. See the 2nd to last photo. Next is the back side of the plywood panel, fuel and brake install details, then more firewall close ups and interior tunnel details... I also make a brake support bracket for those not wanting to cut the tunnel top. I made this for 12AY when I went from Kart brakes to Matco=99s. I=99m happy (which is rare). The 2nd to last photo is of a all stainless steel cover I did over my Aircraft Spruce Firewall material. Overkill but pretty and no slivers as it is all installed with smooth fasteners. Time consuming. I simply make the cutout for the mono per the manual and then expand it a bit in the aft as I=99m lazy and like more room for inserting the springs. Install the gear frame per the manual and drill it in but don=99t bolt it in yet. Remove the frame and cut a piece of ply to allow the gear frame to be clear, and lean it toward the front to allow room for throttle and brakes. Flox the corners and glass the front side of the ply with two layers of glass. I glass the back side also for a very strong bulkhead, but glass on the front is all you need. I also plan a lower access hole to assure maintenance access. For those who desire to do the reinforcing and cut the top of the tunnel off and make an access panel read on: I install my brakes on a C shaped support and fit my Matco or Jamar brakes, parking brake, conduits, fuel lines, filters and all that stuff before I put on the top. For any install: Install the rudder pedals and plan your rudder cables. You can see I sheath mine in nylaflow tube I then remove it and fit in my firewall panels sides then top, finally the back piece. Use the tube of Fire seal 2000 supplied in the Aircraft Spruce kit. Being a purest I normally cut the pieces 1/2 inch over sized, then trim off the back aluminum and fireproofing material, and fold over the stainless over the ugly end. Very neat. We normally line the entire front side with .016 stainless to make a neat fuel proof seal around the leading edge. I leave a lip of 1/2 inch around the bottom of the cutout to be able to seal the firewall material at the bottom and make a nice clean belly exit. Install your rub blocks and press on.

Thanks Will On Aug 11, 2015 4:33 PM, "Bud Yerly" wrote: Will, Only the sealing of the radiators and the opening up of the exit area by moving the firewall are necessary, provided you increase climb speed on long duration climbs. 12AY and most others still cool quite well with just sealing the radiator gaps, leaving the cowl stock, and moving the firewall to behind the nose wheel. Mono's can use our flat firewall to increase cooling exit air. If you have long ground taxi, must do max performance angles of climb in 30C or hotter weather, is engine plenum ducting necessary.

Hello All. This is just for UK Pilots. Read in the LAA magazine to check the Ethanol content displayed at the garage petrol pump. Just the Octane rating is displayed, and the staff don,t know what Ethanol is. Is it a legal requirement to display the Ethanol content on the forecourt pump, and should the manager have the details of what is in his storage tanks. ????????????

Hi Alan I asked the same question the other day in my local Shell garage - they could not even tell me the BS number despite searching about in the office paperwork! This would suggest it is not a requirement or if it is the local trading standards people don't realize it.

Alan, Although the revised version of BS EN228 (2012) allows up to 10% ethanol in fuel the maximum currently being used is 5%. This is technically described as E5 fuel but I have never seen it described as such in the UK. Most suppliers use a brand name. If you buy either 95 RON or 97 RON ( much preferred for R912ULS) you will be OK. I have not looked at all pumps but most have a label on them saying "EN228".. Most suppliers are reluctant to tell the public how much ethanol is in any particular batch of fuel. The AA say that there is no requirement to label fuels using up to 5% ethanol but it is legal requirement to label E10 (10% ethanol) - when it is introduced at some time in the future. So, no label = up to 5% ethanol. If you are unsure you should carry out the water test as described in TL 2.26 which should give you an estimate of how much ethanol is in the fuel. Personally I have never got this test to work reliably but... I hope this helps. These are the reasons it has taken so long to get Mogas with ethanol approved for our use.

Hi , Bob, Peter. I have no low voltage warning light just a voltmeter, The problem is that in cruise my with all my panel working, that's the T/Co- odinator, TCU, FlyDat Engine inst,, 1 Fuel Pump, 1 Strobe Lt, Skyforce GPS, Transponder, Radio, I get about 12.1 volts showing, Pull all the CBs and you get a little more showing. Now if you switch the MASTER SWITCH OFF, it fly's up to 13.1 volts. I take it now that the Alternator has taken over the supply to the fuel pump provided its turned ON. So with the Master switch off and 13+ volts coming out it does not look like being the Alternator or Rectifier, wear is the power going ????? 12v is not enough to maintain a full battery Have bought a new battery ,but the old one is as good as the new one, so it not the battery.

Not knowing your plane or its schematics, if you are concerned borrow a spare Ducati regulator and swap it out and see if anything changes. The Ducati regulators Rotax uses can be a bit flakey.

Alan, To figure out what is wrong, you must have the wiring diagram for your specific airplane. There is a basic wiring diagram in the build manual that may be a good starting point for you. Once you have the diagram, troubleshooting is not difficult. It sounds like your Rotax dynamo and regulator/rectifier are working correctly. As others have said, the Rotax system does not put out much voltage at 2000 rpm. Our 914 puts out about 13.4 volts at 5000 rpm. Get the diagram figured out and then see what is loading down the system.
