--> Europa-List message posted by: "David Joyce" <davidjoyce@doctors.org.uk>
Kevin, When tying down on a hard surface with tie down points requiring wing
attachment I have found it entirely satisfactory simply to loop a rope round
the outrigger leg above the fairing. On a grass field using corkscrew fixers
I usually choose to tie down with two fixers to the main wheel and one to
the tailwheel (again simply lassooing the tailspring above the butterfly
shaped wheel turn stop). Hasn,t blown away yet in spite of some pretty good
winds in Ireland and elsewhere, and I would not feel the extra weight of
special fixing points is worth it. Regards, David, G-XSDJ

Congratulations Paul to this wonderful event. It is a rare
happening in Canada with no more than about 6
Europas flying at the moment. Have a ball testflying,
and hope to meet you all in BC this summer.

I can come to have a true respect for the expression 90% done, 90% to go. I
sat down Sunday night to list off some tasks to do during the coming week.
In about 5 minutes I had an incomplete list of 18 significant items, ah
well.
If I were to guess, I expect to be doing taxi tests some time in March.
Getting some time in type is the big problem, I guess I will have to go down
to Florida or over to the UK.

The main difference (for this purpose) between the HSS drill and cobalt
steel is the split point geometry of the cobalt drill. A split point drill
is self centering which is especially helpful when using a hand drill as
opposed to a drill press.

Hi all,
I have to drill the tail wheel spring and I must admit to not looking
forward to doing this with a hand drill. I am assuming that the spring
steel will be pretty tough going.
I was thinking of buying a cobalt drill for the purpose, but I am wondering
what others have done. Any advice would be appreciated.
Paul

--> Europa-List message posted by: Paul Stewart <europa@pstewart.f2s.com>
Another couple of questions:
Where have folk positioned their transponder antenna - we have a stubb
antenna supplied with our microair transponder.
Realistically what current have we got to play with from the standard
914 PM generator while still charging the battery?

Paul,
I mounted mine in the back on the pilots side. I mounted it
vertical on three wooden rods which were reduxed to the fuselage. Ran
the coax up the pilots side just under the door jamb and on to the
transponder. Seems to work fine. No interferance or noised noted.

--> Europa-List message posted by: Paul Stewart <europa@pstewart.f2s.com>
As has been discussed before, the static pressure sensor for the 914 is
on a very short lenght of cable . Is there any reason why the sensor
could not be mounted behind the firewall (next to TCU) and the pressure
line taken through the firewall (or is this a no no)?
Regards

For that matter, any reason why it wouldn't work okay sensing the cabin
pressure ? - Paul McAllister

| Subject: | Transponder Testing |
--> Europa-List message posted by: MJKTuck@cs.com
Hi Folks,
Is there any way of testing the transponder annually without having to remove
the panel and give it to a radio shop to do the testing? For Mode C testing
my radio shop attaches a harness to the transponder as well as a vacuum to the
static system then checks the readout of the transponder/encoder every 100 ft
increment. While interesting to watch and quite satisfying to see its all a
bit of a hassle to get the panel out and back in again.
I wonder how other homebuilts (RV's) which do not have removable panels are
able to check functionality and satisfy the FAR's. Is there a 'minimal' test
which will satisfy the regs for Experimental?
160 hours and counting.
