    Subject: Re: EIS panel suggestions
    --> Europa-List message posted by: RMRRick@aol.com John Could not agree more. The value of the EIS is that you can set the limits quite conservatively and that the 'out of limit' parameter flashes when activated. My personal experience with a high EGT due to a blocked silencer was that the bright red flashing light gets your immediate attention which then switches automatically to the EIS with its out of range value flashing. If the red warning light fails then the flashing value on the EIS would quickly get your attention as it should be within your scan. You can of course include an audible indicator as well if you wish. Quite brilliant. I'm saving up for the whole Grand Rapids glass panel set up! Rick Morris G-RIKS XS Tri Gear

    Subject: Scale drawing
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fergus Kyle" <VE3LVO@rac.ca> Cheers: "I used the drawings from the Europa Flight Manual and blew them up on a photocopier. I suspect they were printed from a CAD program as they Seem to be perfectly to scale and they show all projections. Worked Ok." I put the canoe together and took some measurements because it appears I have 1-3/4" to spare when assembled. In the process, I had to revise the tailwheel to new position and redraw the wheel (both retracted and extended). Incidentally, the ectended wheel tangents the top of the scale line on the drawing (as accurately as 2mm measures it). The guy who must have the best three views is the chap who markets the radio control model as he says he models to amazing accuracy. Ferg A064

Have you made sure that you've also added in the coolant bottle, ring mount, slipper clutch etc etc ? I know at least one owner who decided to source his own 912S and then buy the Europa FFW kit only to discover that the Europa supplied 912S has quite a few bits on it that the base 912S doesn't have.

    Subject: Re: T. P. Pip pins
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Tony Renshaw <tonyrenshaw@optusnet.com.au> Steve, What is this about larger pip pins, and why do you reckon you need them??? This is news to me. I am wondering whether there is a benefit in retrofitting, yet another job. I drilled mine out in the stabs by hand, and didn't give a lot of consideration to the frictional forces creating heat that could weaken the flox securing them. Of course it would by rights just reset, but I dont like the idea of resetting composite material. I'd prefer to get it right the first time, but this aspect didn't cross my mind way back then. I am making progress, which is a good change, and I got that tail displacement under control. Thanks again for those dimensional photos you sent me. I used them and also noted that the max deflections are controlled by the limitations of movement of the mass balance weights. So, I can get my weights very low as I removed the dowel originally used, and at the top I am going to pad out the splash I made of the underside of the top fuse. All in all I will get now whatever that ends up to be, and I then connected up the trim T piece, and sanded out the slots to accomodate full deflection. It worked well, and with cross reference to your dimensions, we are similar. So, have you got an engine type sorted, and prop, instruments etc. The answer to this might be on your web site, and without blowing smoke up your ar..., I appreciate you doing it, especially picture dominated. I visit it oftern. So, happy building.

    From: Jeff Roberts <jeff@rmmm.net>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Jeff Roberts <jeff@rmmm.net> I have just connected my fuel filler with one of the aluminum elbows I received from Flight Crafters. We used 2 pieces of 2-inch marine grade red dot hose on each end with clamps to connect it. My question is should I have put any sort of dressing onto the fuel tank outlet and the plastic filler connected to the fuselage. I used double clamps on all connections and it feels very tight. Hope I don't have to worry about any leeks. Thanks in advance, Jeff A258 Tri

It is a DOS program that is very simple and useful -- mainly to look at things you don't normally see like airbox temp. That is why I now know that I need an intercooler to get better MP at high altitude - bumping up against the airbox temp limit - indicated on a laptop computer on one flight.

    Subject: Anybody ever fool with 914 monitoring software?
    From: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" <tonyk@kaon.co.nz>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" <tonyk@kaon.co.nz> Ron, The 914 TCU has a scrambled data output which talks to the Rotax monitoring application. It provides quite a bit of information about the status of the engine...much of which would be useful in flight. As yet I have not been able to decrypt the stream for airborne use... but it doesn't mean that I'm not trying. Regards Tony

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Tony S. Krzyzewski" <tonyk@kaon.co.nz> There must be some way of convincing Rotax to part with the the encryption mechanism for this data. I want to take the information and feed it into my homebuilt flight management system without having to have a laptop on board. I've asked them but got a rather non cooperative reply. Tony
