Hi Nigel
Unfortunately the envelope you send me 2 month ago, with the tubes for the
outrigger mod. arrived empty, with a hole in one corner. The tubes must have
been lost somwhere on the way to Switzerland.
Do you still have some tubing left? If so, could you please let me know and
I will send you another adressed envelope together with 4.-. ( Altough I
might use some better quality envelope this time!)

Tony, I have a low fuel pressure warning sensor ( a simple inexpensive reliable
pressure switch from OEM) which switches a bright red warning light on in front
of my nose if pressure drops below 0.15 Bar, as it will if the pump starts
pushing air or if the filter gets furred up. I have now twice run the reserve
dry, once deliberately and once inadvertantly and on each occasion there was time
to get head in gear and switch over to reserve without the engine even blinking.
This should also cover the situation Europa once described where their
914 started coughing, but recovered when pump 2 was switched on, and they subsequently
found the Gascolator filter heavily gunged.So it seems to me that this
system offers a reliable changeover arrangement, not depending on a quiet engine,
with the advantages of simplicity, lightness and cheapness. David Joyce

All,
A friend stayed with me for the last two nights and parked his 914 Europa on our
local strip.
When we arrived at the strip this morning, the aircraft was covered in dew and
he used a damp towel which he took from inside the aircraft to wipe down the wings.
Now before wiping with the towel, we could write on the wings with our fingers
in the dew but immediately the towel was wiped across the wing, the dew turned
to frost and became quite firmly stuck to the wing surface.
Since neither of us has seen this before, thought I would just mention it in the
hope that somebody might be able to explain exactly why it did this. We realise
the dew was super cooled water droplets but are unsure why it instantaneously
became frost when wiped with the towel but not with our fingers.??

Evaporational cooling? Your finger warms the area, keeping the water water.
The towel, at a considerably lower temperature than your finger, removes all
but a fine mist of water which then cools and freezes as it evaporates? It would
be interesting to know what the dew point and temperature was when it
occurred. Puzzling for sure.

Hi Peter
I am sorry to hear the tubes didn't make it through the post. Yours is the
only one which has failed. I can send you another piece of the difficult to
obtain stainless tube but have run out of the 4130 steel tube but that is
readily available from A/C Spruce or Wicks. If you let me have your address
details I will send it to you.
Regards
Nigel

As a matter of interest, where precisely do you take off the tapping for the
pressure sensor and do you see the warning light flickering when taxiing
across rough ground? Or as vapour is purged after parking in the sun?

| Subject: | Rotax Oil Dipstick Change |
--> Europa-List message posted by: Gerry Holland <gnholland@onetel.com>
Has anyone any further information or been aware of the following
information regarding Rotax 912/914Engines? Or have I only just landed back
on Planet Earth! It was issued mid-May 2003.
"Subject
This program covers the exchange of the oil dipstick for some 912/914 series
engines. Oil dipstick part number 956 150 is to be removed from service and
exchanged with the new style oil dipstick part number 956 151.
It has been discovered that the characteristics of some oils result in a
slower return of the oil from the crankcase to the tank, causing the oil
tank level to fall below the minimum. To remedy this situation is it
necessary to increase the volume of oil in the system by approximately 0.48
qt (0.45 litres).A new dipstick is therefore necessary to ensure an accurate
assessment of the oil volume in the tank.
Service Information
All Rotax 912 & 914 (series) owners & operators should review Rotax Service
Bulletin SB-912-040 / SB-914-026 / SB-912-040UL / SB-914-026UL Introduction
of a New Oil Dipstick for ROTAX Engine Type 912 and 914 (series). This
information is available via the Internet at http://www.rotax-owner.com .
You may also contact your Service Center to obtain a copy.
Affected Engines
This exchange program affects the following engines:
Engine Type
Up to and Including Serial Number
912 A - 4410606
912F - 4412858
912S - 4922971
914F - 4420394
Exchange Procedures
Affected engine owners should contact their nearest authorized Service
Center to obtain a new oil dipstick.Authorized Kodiak Research Ltd. Service
Centers will provide the new oil dipstick (Rotax PN 956 151) to affected
engine owners free of charge. Engine owners are responsible for any
applicable freight or delivery charges. To obtain a new oil dipstick at no
charge, affected engine owners will be required to supply their engine
serial number as well as their name, address, telephone number and e-mail
address (if available).
Compliance
Affected engines must meet compliance at the next oil change of within the
next 100 hours of operation, but not later than July 1 st 2003 .
Program Duration
New oil dipsticks will be available at no charge to affected engine owners
until July 15th , 2003."
I'm in no way spreading alarm, just making this news aware to all Rotax
Users.

I was surprised that this didn't create a flurry of emails.
I simply ensure that the oil is kept above half full at all times!
