>"The parking brake valve provides a means of retaining hydraulic pressure
in
the lines between each wheel brake calliper and the valve. When the park
brake is set to "on" a check valve allows further pressure to be applied by
pulling on the brake levers."
The factory kit has the valve orientated with the flow from the finger brake
cylinders to the larger flat face of the valve and then out to the wheels
via the two ports on the smaller face.
I interpret the factory instructions as describing this as a one way valve
that is selectable in or out (of the system) rather than a on/off system.<
Hi Simon
You are probably right unless they have changed the specification in the
last few years. I bought mine direct from Wicks about 6 years ago. It didn't
come with any instructions and listed it as just a valve so I assumed that
was its only function. I will check mine the next time I fly. It will be
useful to select the brake before applying the pressure. It is still
important to make sure it is off before landing as if too much brake is
applied nose over or groundlooping could occur because pressure could not be
released quickly enough.

Alan,
I have a Terra Transponder and have used Gatwick Avionics at Stapleford for
repairs in the past, but they appear very expensive. Accordingly, I would
very much like to have a second service agent to use if necessary, so please
may I have Graeme Laucht's address?
Best wishes,
William

Dave,
I too am interested in these wheels but have never seen them. Is it not
possible to replace the bearings with sealed ones?
A chap over here I know has fitted sealed bearings to the Europa supplied
outrigger wheels and this seems to have made a marked improvement.
Thanks.

I have about the same 7mm showing but didn't worry about it.
Perhaps will cover with soft sliding plastic shield for cosmetic purposes.

Would someone with a Classic cockpit module be kind enough to tell me the size
and shape of the opening on the top of the tunnel at the rear, through which the
fuel valve is operated ? Length and width of opening and distance of the rear
edge of the opening from the plane of the seat backs is what I seek.
Thanks.

Andrew Sarangan reports that he has fixed the search function on his archive
site for Europa List messages (reported as broken 2 or 3 weeks ago).
This means that there are again two archive sources for this list, one at the
Matronics server (see address at the foot of every message) and one at Andrew's
server (for address see the Europa Club website or www.crix.org.uk )

| Subject: | Option to Purchase WAM-120 Number 23 |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Brian and Pat Tarmar" <freefolk@screaming.net>
Having agonised long and hard over three years, I have finally decided to give-up
my option on Wilksch Diesel WAM-120 No.23 which will be available very soon.
Now that my Classic Trike airframe is at last finished and all parts weighed,
I feel that the potential reduction in payload precludes use of the diesel
at this stage.
However, if there is anyone out there interested in almost immediate delivery and
the original price of =A310,000 please get in touch. Only today Wilksch achieved
UK approval for the WAM 120 at 120bhp and the fuel burn continues to improve.

Attaching the engine mount to the engine (914), am I correct in thinking you cannot
tighten the M10 bolts/ binx nuts to a particular torque - the nuts being
a type of stiff nut. Quite anxious to get this correct particularly as access
to the nuts is not easy.
While attaching the engine to landing gear frame any thoughts on safe ways to support
the engine while positioning etc. - I dont want to be holding it up by
bits I should not.

This is one of those things that continues to bother me. There is one bolt
and stiff nut on the bellcrank that is not viewable from the access panel as
the W-12 plate is in the way. Its the one from the lateral push rod that
goes through the rod end and into the W-13 plate or arm.
I only realized this after I closed out the wings. The stiff nut cannot be
seen from the bottom of the wing. Is this something I dont ever need to
worry about or will I be using a mirror type tool that I dont know about to
inspect it? If so, how would you tighten it or maintain it later?
Thanks in advance,

Use an engine hoist with strops around the exhaust manifolds. I needed
to mount the engine around six times before getting the offset correct
in both dimensions. A set of squeeze clamps to pre tension the lord
mount rubbers will make life easier when fitting the engine to the
frame.

Some ware I read,and have used, a strap under the two intake manifolds. I
just looped a web strap under one then the other and doubled it back and
tied the ends together. My lifting motor hoist hook then gathered up all
the strap and the thing balanced just right. Good luck.

Not dumb ! You will learn to "see" with your fingers. I have a mirror that
helps too. There are lots of places that you will not have direct view of.

--> Europa-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle)
******************************************************************************
Europa-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Europa-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Europa-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
