Ours started out with at least half an inch of clearance on each wheel, but now both wheels touch the ground, even with no load. The airplane has gained some weight since the outrigger installation (paint, interior, etc.), and I suspect that the bungees have stretched a bit as well. As your first flight approaches, see how it feels while taxiing, with a typical load of fuel and gear. You may not need to make any changes by then. Dave DeFord N135TD (flying)

This should allow us an independent set of AOA calibration values with the long wings. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to get usable AOA indications. The current theory is that there is some kind of RF interference, but we haven't had time to check this out yet. Dave DeFord N135TD (flying)

Inot sure how much but would guess at an inch, that way the sections grab hold on each other.

Jeff, With my Classic I was originally supplied with 42mm long spacers and AN5-41 bolts. Europa have since changed these dimensions to 46mm spacers and AN5-42 bolts, the reason being to compress the rubber mounts less in order to allow a little more engine vibration dampening. I suggest it would probably be best to measure your spacers and fit the corresponding bolt. As far as the number of washers is concerned, I imagine the minimum required to obtain the desired offset of the engine would be the way to go but I would check with John Hurst or Nev Eyre at Europa to be sure if I were you.

You posted that the bungees may have stretched a bit causing the aeroplane to sit lower. I have a XS Monowheel and the bungee arrangement is used to aid in holding the wheel in the up position, in other words to counter undercarriage weight. The spring provided is a large lump of stiff black rubber type stuff that gets compressed (Polyurathene?). It gets wider as you compress it and therefore gives what i think is a progressive action. I have yet to fully assemble gear. Anyway, curious do you have a monowheel, perhaps a Classic that uses bungee as its main spring as well? Or did older XS have bungee? Thx. Ron Parigoris A-265

    Subject: RiteAngle Flap sensor
    --> Europa-List message posted by: RiteAngle3@aol.com Europa-List: RiteAngle AOA Flap Sensor Any of the solutions you have mentioned work, however I will advise all those with the monogear~I have not personally flown or been around the trigear~ that the flaps have lots of movement when changing from static to flying, i.e. trailing edge comes up a lot. When you do your flap position setup you need to insure that you have someone lifting up on the flaps to simulate the airload, otherwise you will be like we here were and not getting a flap change in flight. Alternative would be to setup flap position in flight, with two positions easy to do. The resistor as mentioned by Tony K works fine if one wishes to do it that way.

You're absolutely right. Settling would be due to increased compression of the springy block, not to bungee stretching, in our monowheel XS. Dave DeFord N135TD

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "bryan allsop" <info@blackballclub.fsnet.co.uk> My XS mono rocks happily from one outrigger to the other even after many hours of flying. It is something you become quite used to in time. other Europas seem to do the same thing. If you operate out of farm strips it would be quite impractical to expect both legs to touch the ground in the hanger. A personal view is that your outriggers are better too short than too long in that you have less chance of them interfering during touch down. Happy landings.

    Subject: Re: Longer Legs
    --> Europa-List message posted by: <kbcarpenter@comcast.net> Bryan puts it well. Another issue is that on grass, the outriggers will touch more than on hard surface. Even on hard surface, it is not unusual to encounter areas where the hard surface has a low area or dished area for drainage. In those places, the outriggers will be in good contact and you may at times wish they were even shorter.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: tonyrenshaw@optusnet.com.au Gidday, I have the VHF aerial kit from Europa, and am wondering what others experience with this has been. I suppose I am attemptting to evaluate, after purchase, which is a bit of a dumb way to go. I am wondering whether to get a Bob Archer one instead, and before my top is on, attach it to the inside of the fuse. Any assistance greatly appreciated. I think if the Europa one is OK I will be running it up the back of the sternpost.

I can only imagine it is another way to actuate the rudder without horns. Doesn't sound like it would have the best mechanical advantage, but I am wondering if anyone knows anything about such a method?

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Alfred Buess" <Alfred.Buess@shl.bfh.ch> Hello Svein My flap position sensor is mounted at one of the baggage bay support ribs. The sensor pushrod is attached to an aluminum bracket, that I mounted onto the bolt, which holds the flap drive pushrod's rear end and the flap drive tube together. This setup leaves all the flap drive parts unchanged (no holes). As a picture says more than a thousand words, I'll send you offline two pictures showing my solution. Regards, Alfred HB-YKI, XS Monowheel classic wings, wiring the panel >>> sidsel.svein@oslo.online.no 12/21 3:46 >>> --> Europa-List message posted by: "Sidsel & Svein Johnsen" <sidsel.svein@oslo.online.no> To those who already have installed the RiteAngle AOA flap position sensor: Where did you connect it to the flap mechanism? It appears that a suitable point would be to fit the ball link to one of the hinge arms (FL16), drilling the small diameter hole for it in the centre line of the hinge arm as close as possible to the fuselage floor. This should give the desired 90 degree rotation of the sensor. - Other suggestions? Seasons Greetings to all. Svein A225 - now in Norway
