Ron,
Give John Hurst a call. He is very familiar with the "do's & don'ts" of
keeping a 914 turbo in good working order.

Dear All,
Is there anyone out there in the UK who has a resin pump they no longer require?
If so I'd very much like to buy it. I'm aware that the latest batch of pumps
from America have been found to be defective, so an old type is what I'm after.
Here's hoping.
Regards
Nigel Harrison #584

Hi All;
Was surfing ebay last nite and came across a brand new Rotax 914. The bid was
only up to $11,000 or so. It's located in the section ebay motors>aircraft (not
the parts section). It's located in Florida. Wish I'd found it before buying
mine....

Ron;
Rotax offers a fabulous class which runs two days and travels around the world.
You'll completely disassemble and reassemble a 912 engine. They cover the 914
too. It's well worth the $400 I paid. You can find out where/when from any
Rotax distributor.
Best to you,
Paul Boulet, N914PB, Malibu, CA

Doing a bit of thinking about firewall foward. Leaning towards the 914.
I hear tales of the wastegate getting stuck. I have a few questions on this matter:
Is TCP still avialable?
Would TCP help or hinder the wastegate staying clean if using 100LL?
I heard that if you regularily clean the wastegate without removing it with brake
cleaner it will keep it free as long as you
do it often and don't wait for it to stick?
Is there any other product to help keepwastegate free that anyone is using?
Is it possable to disassemble a 2 to 300 hour turbo without breaking off the studs?
What is secret to disassembe without
breaking studs?
I plan on using MoGas when staying local, but when you wander away from home it
can be hard to find.
Thx

Just wait until the close before you regret. Usually those bids go up with a
vengeance at the very end.

I concur. The local ham radio club just had a demo, and the item sold showed
twice the price in the last 7 seconds. Serious buyers wait to avoid being
bumped too high.

| Subject: | 2003 List Fund Raiser - Please Support Your Lists... |
--> Europa-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
During November of each year, I have a voluntary Email List Fund Raiser to
support the continued operation, development, maintenance and upgrade of
the Email Forums sponsored here. Your Contributions go directly into
improvements in the systems that support the Lists and to pay for the
Internet connectivity primarily dedicated to supporting the Lists.
The traffic on the Lists continues to grow and the numbers are nothing
short of impressive! Here are some statistics that show how much traffic
the Lists generated this year alone:
* 11/01/2002 - 10/31/2003
o Web server hits: 10,446,780 (870,565/mo)
o Incoming Email Posts: 58,918 (4,909/mo)
List-related upgrades this year have been plentiful, and List performance
has substantially improved as a result. Upgrades and enhancements this
year have included:
* Internet Connection upgrade to a full, commercial-grade T1 Line!
* New Web Server platform - Dual 3Ghz Xeon with 2Gb Ram and U320 SCSI!
* Upgrade of Email Server platform - Dual 1.7 Ghz Xeon with 1Gb Ram!
* All new SPAM Filtering Appliance - filters about 98% of the SPAM!
* All new, web-base List Chat Room society!
As you can well imagine, this year's upgrades translate into a fair amount
of cash outlay on my part and this annual List Fund Raiser is the sole
means by which I fund these upgrades. Unlike most of the other "list
servers" on the Web these days, I have a strict
*no-commercial-advertisement policy* on the Matronics Lists and associated
List web sites. I was again approached by a number of vendors recently
with advertising deals that have been very tempting. My commitment to
providing a grass-roots, non-commercial environment prevailed,
however! Commercialism on the Internet seems to be increasing
exponentially every year, with more and more SPAM and pop up ads, not to
mention the ever increasing Virus attacks.
My goal with the Matronics List Service is to provide all members
with a commercial-free, virus-free, and high-performance system
with which the may share information, ideas, and camaraderie.
The best news this year is that, with the gracious help of Andy Gold and
The Builder's Bookstore ( http://www.buildersbooks.com ), I have been able
to significantly expand the lineup of fantastic Gift offers to support the
List Fund Raiser! In all, there are eight awesome free gifts this year
ranging from List Archive CD's to Flight Computers with qualifying
Contribution levels. Those great Jeppesen Flight Bags that were so popular
last year are even back! A special thanks goes out to Andy Gold again this
year for his very kind and generous support of the Lists. Thanks Andy, for
these great incentives!!
Over the next month I'll be posting a few reminder messages about the List
Fund Raiser, and I ask for your patience and understanding during the
process. Remember that the Lists are *completely* funded through the
generous Contributions of its members. That's it! There's no support from
a bloated advertising budget or deep pockets somewhere. Its all made
possible through YOUR thoughtful and generous support!
To make your List Contribution using a Visa or MasterCard, PalPal, or with
a personal check, please go to the URL link below. Here you can find
additional details on this year's great free Gifts as well as information
on the various methods of payment. Contributions in the $20, $30, $50,
$75, and $100 range are common. The Contribution web page is kind of long
this year with the details of each of the gifts, so please scroll all the
way down!

I would like to thank everyone who supports the Lists this year! Your
Contributions truly make it all possible!!
Thank you!!

Hi all,
I am doing some final fit ups of the top cowl and I need to countersink the tinnermen
washers so they sit flat. Does any one have a best practice on how to achieve
this (other than using a large drill).
Thanks Paul

I bought a 100* countersink from a machining tool company. It did a very
good job, turned it by hand most of the time.

Tony, I doubt you'll find even vivid yellow will result in high
temps, so I don't understand the need to take it with you. If there's
dew on the covers, you don't really want to then stuff it in the cabin
someplace - can get a bit "gamey" when wet, and around here my canopy cover gets
bombed with bird crap.
I've made 2 covers over the years, using fabric from a boat supply place
and from a upholstery shop. It need only "breathe," or else some paints
can be ruined. The one silver "reflective" but nonbreathing cover I
bought did just that and I promptly dumped it. Any light-colored material will
not even get warm.
The 2 other ready-made covers I bought were different fabrics, and these plus the
ones I made were good for about 5 years, so I'm not aware of what material
is best. Heavy material is good too; allows for higher wind velocity when installing
the covers solo. Else you need help, or fast and fancy footwork.
Regards,
Fred F.

Hello Group!
I am now getting dangerously close to purchasing the Dynon EFIS system. Due
to a lack of vacuum, I am now committed to an electrical attitude system. The
Dynon will fit right in and allow me to have attitude info even when the engine
is shut down in flight (an every other flight occurrence in the Mini U2).
I would love to get feedback on anyone's experience with that EFIS before I
make the big move. Obviously, it would be great to have a bigger display, but
the Europa's panel space is limited and I am leaving the mechanical altimeter,
ASI in for back-up. I will be replacing my vacuum ADI with the Dynon. The
price is barely more than an electrical attitude gyro and if it works as they say
it will, my days of manually setting the heading gyro will be over.
The EFIS looked pretty good to me when I saw it at OSH. The attitude info
seemed to be very smooth as was the heading. I don't know how the airspeed or
altitude information works, but I do have the mechanical back-up.
Thanks for your help in advance.
