Wise ones,
can someone tell me the name of the alternative transponder manufacturer,
similar to Microair and is the French one likely to be available soon.
Another silly question, will we Europeans be required to have mode S on our
homebuilts? I do feel txponders are highly desirable but dislike the
imposition of control from the beaurocrats, especially the ones in Brussels.

Yes we will have to have mode S. For IFR flight the date is April 2005 and
for VFR April 2008 (I believe).
There was talk of everything that was airborne having to be equipped - even
skydivers!
There is still a lot of resistance to the idea, as it appears to be so late
coming in that it may well be superseded by something else.

Alan,
Being 600km from Coolangatta, I am too far away but there are a few Europa
builders / fliers around the Gold Coast area of which Coolangatta is a part.
Unfortunately, I have never seen any of them on this List so I guess they
are not aware of your coming.
One chap I'm sure would make you welcome is Bob DeLissa who lives at Palm
Beach a few kilometres North of Coolangatta. Give him a ring and if he is
not available himself, I'm sure he will steer you in the right direction.
Bob is good company and if you get nothing else out of him, you will most
certainly get a laugh. Tell him I sent ya!
Bob's number is 07 5576 3380. If you ring from within Queensland, there is
no need to dial the 07.
At home, my contact details are 07 4627 3236 or hurstkr@growzone.com.au but
I won't be home between Friday afternoon 20th and Sunday Night 22nd.
During working hours 07 4628 9555 or khurst@taroom.qld.gov.au

All,
I am at the stage where I have to decide whether or not to instal an
electronic engine monitoring system and if so, which one. So far, I am
favouring the electronic ones over the steam gauge types.
After considering many options, it would appear the one which suits my needs
and my budget the best would be the Stratomaster E2 manufactured by MGL
Avionics in South Africa.
Soooo, I am soliciting comments from anybody who may have installed same or
who might know something about these units. Any advice received in this
regard will be greatfully received.
The E2 can be seen at

Jeff,
You're more than welcome (as is everyone else) to bring your aircraft along!
I think it would be great to have a lot of different aircraft in the various
stages of construction to share ideas in the building process.
Of course, my brother John's tri-gear will be there as well as my
mono-motorglider. I'm sure that neither of ours will be flying yet.
Although I sure wish they were! Maybe some of you folks that have your
Europa's flying will share the experience with some of us want-a-be's? ;
)
We should have plenty of room in the hangar for anyone who wants to display
their project.
This is gonna be fun, ya'll come!!!

Make both brackets that same as the illustration? It appears that I have one
bracket that already has the needed clearance area cut out from the factory.
From the illustration I can tell it is the port side. The other bracket sent

unusual that the factory only finished one. I want to make sure that I do
not have a mis- bagged part before I get to grinding. I wrote Neville. No word

Brian,
As I recall neither of my brackets were cut out, I had to do both.
And yes, both W16's do have to be cut out as the illustration shows.
As a precaution make sure you are not working on the mating part that
is shown further back in the book in the area I mentioned in the last email.
The parts are similar enough that they could be mixed up.
Regards,
John

The 2 main wheel inner tubes came with 1chrome and 1 brass nut ana a chrome washer
each. On one the brass nut and washer was tight against the tube with the
other loose. On the other both nuts were in the stem with the washer between.
What is the correct orientation and location of these parts? How does the valve
stem lay inside the wheel? I see no drawings or description in the manual. This
should be so easy, but I don't want to mess things up. Thanks.

I believe that there is now some doubt in the UK CAA about the dates for
Mode S being acheivable, especially as no viable 'hand-held' transponder has
yet been made for the glider/baloon/microlight markets. My advice with
avionics is not to jump too soon... try to wait and either a) the
requirement will be postponed, or b) the big guys will start making
equipment and so the price will fall. If you try and equip now, your kit
will probably be outdated by the time the rules come into force.

I'll try to get there with my plane. Am currently flying with the glider
wings after about 175 hours with the short wings. At this point, I felt
better at ten hours in the short wings than I do at twenty hours in the
glider wings. I miss the roll response of the short wings, and the long
wings float and bounce more. Prob need to get the landing speed down more
with the glider wings. The speed brakes are not close to the effectiveness
of spoilers.

Brian - I found the only one I've done so far (starboard) needed a
fair amount of fettling, but I didn't need to attack the spar at all.
However, I found I _did_ need to remove almost all of the rib flange
at one station, taking it back pretty much to the face of the spar.
The geometry will change subtly depending on how far the rod-ends are
screwed on, etc. It's a bit tedious putting it all together then
taking it all out again to file the holes, but that seems to be the
way to get satisfactory clearances.
If it's as close as you say, maybe you need to check back with the
factory. There are no spacers or similar between W11/W12 and the
spar, so you haven't left anything out there! If the tightness is at
the root end, then check again very carefully the assemblage of
everything in the W16 area.
Incidentally, referring back to your previous post, my manual says to
file the W16 relief curves _before_ rivetting on the bellcrank
bearing, so I assume you're now playing with the W16 that was already
shaped.
regards
Rowland

| Subject: | Re: <Rowland> Wing lateral push rod HELP! |
--> Europa-List message posted by: EuropaXSA276@aol.com
Hi again Rowland:
How's things? I use your website often. Thank you!
The push rod is binding at the two ribs closest to the bellcrank assembly <
outrigger ribs for you mono men>. The fit is so tight that the rib would have
to be completely removed up to the spar. My guess is that the rod will surly
rub against the spar even with the holes widened that much. I'm thinking the
only way out of this mess is to put a spacer behind the Bellcrank assembly as
previously posted. NO way am I going to do a thing to that spar.
Today I went ahead and filed away at my other W16 that did not have the
relief curve shaped at the factory. It looks fine and I'll rivet the bearings
today. Install tomorrow evening. I do not know why the factory sent one pre shaped
and one not... But the problem is solved.
Johns post brought to my attention that I could have been looking at a CS15
fuselage connector and not a W16 due to similar appearances. I spent the
better part of today rummaging through boxes of bits attempting to locate CS15's
to
be sure what I thought to be a W16 was not miss bagged. After 2 hours in the
hunt I realized the CS15s have already been installed at the factory on my
quick build cockpit module... Cant wait to get out of chapter 8
Thanks for you help Rowland!

Hi Doug,
Augustene and I will plan to be there. Either flying or driving.
I had bypass surgery last may and as a result lost my medical. We have
reapplied to the FAA through our AME for our medical waiver. We should know by
late march or April. If the medical comes through, we will fly!!!!!!!!!!

As the ground return path, it would be the same as the +14V output, i.e. 10 ga.
for the Rotax.

| Subject: | XS Trigear rudder cable alignment |
--> Europa-List message posted by: TELEDYNMCS@aol.com
Greetings all,
In an effort to get everything done before the top goes on I've been looking
at the rudder cable alignment. The manual calls for fairleads to be installed
in the rear bulkhead 1 3/8" left and right of the centerline and the same
distance from the floor as measured at the centerline. It also calls for the
starboard rudder cable to exit 13" from the horn, which is essentially at the hinge
line. This alignment appears to make the rudder cable change course at the
bulkhead by about 15 degrees to starboard. Is this correct? I plan to use nylon
fairleads to reduce friction, but will I have a binding problem?
Regards,

Hello Europa Owners !!!
We'd like to announce our first annual Fly In and cookout for Europa owners,
builders, and pilots at Matthews Field.
Saturday and Sunday, June 5th & 6th, 2004.>>>>
Hi Doug,
I have pencilled in the date on my calendar and I am looking forward to the event.
I will plan to camp as I did on my last visit.
(To all other Europaphiles who are thinking of gathering at Doug and John Lawton's
"Matthews Field", it is a beautiful location and will be well worth the trip.)
Cheers, John

As far as I am aware Europe is going it alone on Mode S. Anyone in the US
heard of Mode S?
Stop by faa.gov
Coming soon to an airframe near you! (It's closer than you think and mode
S is supposed keep you separated)

As best I can research, I can't locate any FAA plans to mandate Mode-S for VFR
in the U.S, and the IFR date will probably slip a few years. Appears a European
thing for VFR.
