    Subject: 5 Point Harnesses
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw@ozemail.com.au> Gidday, I am working on my cockpit module and am wondering about a 5 point harness. I know some may think this overkill, but I fly an a/c now that only has a 4 point, and there is a natural tendency as your shoulder harness tightens under load for your lapstrap to ride up above your hips. To achieve a safe outcome your lapstrap would have to be uncomfortably tight always. So, the problem arises in an impact where your abdomen is exposed to forces supposed to be contained by your lapstrap, but they aren't. So, I want to know if anyone has fitted a crutch strap and if so where it was mounted, either on the vertical face of the thigh support, or was it accomodated in the first 4-6" of the front portion of the thigh support on the seat long axis, or where? Any quick advice would be kindly appreciated. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Australia

    Subject: Re: 5 Point Harnesses
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "david joyce" <davidjoyce@beeb.net> Tony, I have the feeling that 5 point harnesses are of very limited value except in seating arrangements like those in modern gliders where you lie almost horizontally and there is consequently a major tendency to slide forward under the harness on impact. With the europa seat the lap element has a good purchase on you pelvic bones and because of the angulation of the body should have no difficulty restraining forward movement. I fly a Bellanca Scout (as a tug plane) with a 5 point harness on a seat with similar upright body & angled at the pelvis. The crutch strap goes almost horizontally forward to get over the front end of the seat and is therefore acting at almost right angles to the shoulder straps. Any tightening of it tends to loosen the lap strap, which is all a bit of a pain! In any case in an impact your crutch would have to tavel quite a way forward before it got restrained, (ouch!). I find the Europa supplied harness very comfortable, and convincingly secure in use, quite sufficient to do aerobatics with in fact, (if of course we were allowed to!) I suspect that you will gain nothing but a bit of weight by replacing it with a 5 pointer.

    Subject: 5-point torture
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fergus Kyle" <VE3LVO@rac.ca> Tony, Following of David Joyce's remarks, I remember that all the 5-point harnesses I ever 'enjoyed' were attached to seat cutouts (ie: leg extensions) which permitted the crutch strap to damage one's vitals almost immediately upon encountering something hard ahead. There are better things to strap to. One such event had me scratched from the choir bass section. Ferg do not archive

    From: James Nelson <europajim@juno.com>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: James Nelson <europajim@juno.com> Tony, Just elevate the stock shoulder harness attachment above your shoulders. Actually I threw away the Europa units. I purchased a set of Hooker Harness for both sides. I preferred the military style hook up for obvious safety and extraction reasons. This is an airplane, not a car. I also moved the shoulder harness attachment to the top of the airframe. This stops the compression of the spine in a sudden vertical or forward motion. With the original mounting, you will have a serious problem with vertical compression in a vertical and forward motion of the airframe in a crash situation. If you look at the movement of your body in a crash, you will move forward but will be restrained by the lap seat belt and the shoulder harness. With the restraining of forward motion using the shoulder harness, you will be forced downward because of the geometry of the stock mounting position (below the shoulder). Also, I sit in a seat that positions the body in a semi-reclined position. Thus, a very small possibility of needing the 5th point. Also, you need to keep the harness snug because you are positioned very close to the top, thus you need to keep attached snuggly to the airframe. I've already bumped my head during mild turbulence. You get very used to the snugness of the belt and begin to prefer it over the other style. Just my opinion but I'm getting to be an old, and not bold, pilot. Just my rantings, but with 20 + years flying helicopters, I've found a few truths in crashing (seven times). Don't want to do it in an airframe which must be kept moving forward to remain airborn. Thank goodness for our slow stall speed and the design of the forward lower fuselage. BTW the upward sloping portion of the fuselage in the footwell area is very good. A 90 degree position of the firewall to the bottom will dig in as you try to stop thus increasing the deceleration forces higher than you want. The slooping area lets you slide on with out digging in. We really have a pretty good design. But nothing is perfect. The shoulder harness mounting area is not good in my opinion. Just raise it about 3 to 4 inches.

    Subject: Cooling Air Baffle
    --> Europa-List message posted by: DJA727@aol.com HI List, I am running down ideas for improving the engine cooling and also improving the engine over cooling in descent and with the engine shut down in flight. One Idea I have had for a while is to incorporate the "cooling air baffle" that I have seen on some Rotax installations. Specifically, I have seen the diamond extreme with a single air intake going directly into this part, which forces cooling air down over the cylinder bases. I have two questions: 1. Has anyone tried to use owe of these parts on a Europa installation? The part number is 945-795. 2. Does anyone know what this part costs? I have looked it up in the California power systems catalog and it seems to be over $500 -- an amazing price for a fiberglass baffle. Any ideas on this? The Mini U2 now has 21 hours of flight time, flown up to and over gross, has a tail wheel fairing now and is running very well -- after the first oil change. Dave A227 Mini U2
