Hi Karl,
It sounds like the regulator is faulty. If you are unable to restrict the over
vac at cruise power then it sounds to be jammed in the fully closed position.
Regards
Andy

Dear Andy,
Thanks for the reply. Good to know that the regulator is adjustable, but any
number of turns
(of that spring loaded shaft in the centre) to the left or right makes no
difference. At idle
the needle is below the green, in the cruise way past it. I need to borrow a
gauge from
somewhere so I can isolate the problem.
Best regards, Karl

Thanks to all for the response on the scales VS the pump issue. I'm leaning
to the scale. I also think the mustard and catsup squeeze bottles with the
snap tight cap are an excellent idea for final measuring.
Thanks again

Hello Europa aircraft builders. I know I have a lot of customers out there
in your ranks. If you are building an aircraft or flying your aircraft with
the RiteAngle AOA system I would appreciate personal photos of installation and
comments, positive or negative sent to me off list. Please state model of
aircraft, hours flown with RiteAngle AOA system and any suggestions. We are aware
of some problems with turbulence from the outrigger housing causing an
unsteady vane on some Europa Monogear aircraft, and have a suggested remedy for
this
problem should you have it. Please contact me for information off line.
Those who have questions re AOA please also contact me off list. I don't
want to use the list unless questions are asked that would apply to all.
address for contact: riteangle3@aol.com
There are several hundred RiteAngle systems out there and many owners have
changed e-mail addresses.
Thanks,
Elbie

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I have a Grand Rapids EIS with the fuel flow option and I doubt if it will work
in its current configuration. The 914 has an integrated manifold for fuel in
and fuel return. I can see no way of measuring flow without having to compensate
to the return flow. Has anyone had any experience using the EIS system and
there fuel flow sensor on a 914 installation ?
Thanks & regards,
Paul

Paul,
I think what you're looking for is a return flow controller. Here's a cool
one... :-)

I have the Fuelchec Fuel Computer and the Trim speed Governor from
Matronics. They are beautifully constructed and work well. I haven't used a
Return Flow Controller on my 912 install so cant vouch for it personally.

--> Europa-List message posted by: "William Mills" <combined.merchants@virgin.net>
I thought it might be nice to have an impromptu, long weekend, end of season trip
to France (if the good weather holds). At this time of year there will be
no problem with accommodation, so we can tour what ever region takes our fancy.
I am suggesting Friday 26th to Monday 29th September. We could meet up at
Dieppe and then go on to Chauvigny for Friday night. Anyone interested, please
drop me an e-mail, or phone on 01495 785 499.
Best wishes,
William
