Ferg,
Of course I have a Mono-wheel. Is there any other kind????
Send the parts, give me the address and I'll send a check. If you have
any drawings and directions, please include in the pile of stuff.
I finally got out yesterday and got an hour in. The wx had been
ucky here in mid Florida. For the last month, its been rain and
thunderstorms all around the area. The problem with the Europa is it
goes so far so fast. Need a big area to just putt around. Yesterday, I
throttled back to try to keep it around 110 Knots. only needed about
4700 rpm. No sweat getting 120K to 125K (around 5300 rpm) I see 130K
and up when I use around 5400 - 5500 rpm. (all below 3000') So I guess
its a fine cross country bird! Are you getting close? Don't rush but
its time to get it done. My last 6 - 8 months, I spent more time getting
the bumps out and ready to paint and then paint. Then its refit and get
the blessings of the gov. to go fly. It is all worth it. It is a fun
airplane to fly. I'm still doodling with the trim on my starboard wing.
I have had to add a trim tab in addition to my electric tab. Make sure
you have a large enough tab if you are putting in an electric operated
tab. I now recommend at least 8" wide or more. (maybe 10") This will
allow for trimming with out having to extend the tab so far it looks --
like, well you know--.

Hi guys,
This problem exists on all airframes (that I've seen). Just get
out your "Super Fill" and match the parts. Just be sure to include a
layer of bid approximately every 3/16" (3 - 4 mm) or so. The glass is
necessary as the super fil doesn't have any strength when put it on that
thick. I had to do the leading edge of the tail planes and re-form the
top of both of my protrusions to match the tail planes. No big deal,
just time consuming. My moldings don't match on the bottom but no one
looks there when looking over the plane. I did the lower section just to
blend it in.

Troy,
Call Lockwood on Monday and they should do it for you. I called
them on Thursday and they faxed me a form to fill out. Did it and faxed
it back. They said no sweat. I think they will honor it if you call on
monday. (have a fax number so you can do the form and get it right back.
Also, have a credit card number so they can charge you for the shipping.
Just a couple of bucks).

Both Throttle and Choke cables need to be shortened fairly significantly. It
is possible to extract outer sheath from the nipple on end of sheath at
Carburettor end and then cut to suit. The nipple can be 'firmly' pushed back
on to the out sheath when length correct.
Cutting the inner cable needs care and a very sharp cutting device. There
are special cutters for this purpose. Not sure of cost. Bing inner cable in
tape and cut with Dremel cutting disc works well as per Rudder cables
earlier in the adventure!
The difference in 'action' between making them fit using supplied length to
modifying to suitable length is very noticeable.
Routing can also be varied to meet objective of smooth operation.

Hi,
I agree, they come far too long. I routed mine in what I thought was a
gentle curve to use up the surplus, but when I came to flying, it was difficult
to
get consistent idle rpm or smooth accurate adjustment at low revs. I then
re-routed the cables with bigger diameter curves and everything OK now.
A better fix would be to shorten the cables. Perhaps someone knows the best
way of doing it? Can it be done without removing the cables from the throttle
box?

Not easily unless you can draw back the inner cable near the Throttle Box so
allowing outer sheath to be shortened at Carburettor end and then pushing
inner cable back through when length adjusted by cutting outer sheath.
Thats the process I used and it was fine. Just dont be tempted to cut
inner cable until after it's secured through Lever clamp. It sometimes frays
if not cut sharply.

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi All,
This would be a question for the factory if it wasn't a weekend. The engine manual
does not give much indication as to how the cable is fastened to the carburetor.
I have tried clamping it under the flat washers, however this does not
allow the cable to pivot as the carburetor arm rotates from open to closed.
This causes the cable to bend a bit in the closed position. Am I missing something
here ?

Yes. There is a special fitting (cant think of name!) with a hole. Nut and
Bolt of sorts.
I've woken up!
It's a Allen Bolt M5 X 12, Rotax part No. 241-846. It has a hole to allow
throttle cable through and is attached and clamped with Washer and Stiff
nut.
Should be in Kit somewhere.

Hi,
The inner throttle cable passes through a small hole in the cylindrical
fitting and free rotation is permitted. From memory, it is not compressed between
washers.
The inner is a very tight fit in the hole, hence the need to ensure it is not
damaged before you try to thread it through. One loose strand of wire makes
it almost impossible to get in (I've got the tee-shirt to prove it!). If you
decide to cut the inner, I suspect it would be a good idea to solder it first
at the place to be cut.

Jim,
I have an electric trim tab on the left aileron. With the benefit of
hindsight it would have been better being a little longer. It is currently
only 6 inches long. However, I found that a flettner strip on the top
surface of the trim tab worked really well, making the tab quite effective.

Mike,
You mean that all you did was to add a fletner strip to the top
of the trim tab?? I'll try that and see what happens. I hope it works
as well as yours. Many thanks.

Yup!
Paul, there is a small cylinder shaped device that is inserted in
the throttle lever. The cable is inserted into the cylinder unit and the
cable is fastened in position by way of a screw that "jams" the cable and
holds it there. It is the correct method.

I'm stopping off in East Hampton, NY, on my way back from the PFA next
weekend, and wondered if there are any Europa builders or owners at the
airport in East Hampton.
