Hi! William.
I thought I'd be with you this week except when I flight tested after
building my engine up the bloody propeller control unit went AWOL!.
I guess if it has to happen perhaps it's as well all at once !
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG.

What's the consensus on battery capacity - 914/airmaster but UK based so VFR only.
I've heard anything from 17 to 30 AH but there's quite a weight difference
there.

Hi Paul,
Am not sure if these batteries can be purchased in the UK, so this may be of more
interest for US & Canadian builders. Anyway, I am using an Odyssey PC545 battery
mounted on the firewall shelf. Weight is 12 lbs and it is rated at 13AH
(10 hour rate). I bought this battery quite early in my build process in Sept
1999 and did not start running the engine until October 2001; the battery recommendation
came from Bob Berube. I have been flying for more than 3 years now
and it has never hesitated to crank my 912S; the engine usually starts within
2-3 blades. (I believe the 912S may be more difficult to crank since it has a
higher compression ratio than the 912 and the 914.)
The Odyssey is totally sealed and is advertised as a 'drycell', 'absorbed electrolyte
glass mat'(AGM) battery. I recently made a check of capacity and it ran
a 50 watt bulb for 2 hours from max capacity (12.85 volts) to 11.0 volts. Regrettably,
I did not do the same performance check when new but it is still close
to the manufacturer's numbers.
See http://www.odysseybatteries.com/ and http://www.odysseyfactory.com/specs.htm for details. These batteries are popular over here for motorcycles, particularly Harley Davidsons. Typical price on the internet is US$85.95.
Cheers, John

I think its 1.25" diameter. Which is fine if you live in the States where
imperial size stuff can still be obtained. In the UK its 32mm, which doesn't
fit!

Hi all ,
I was wondering what people have done for these. Has anyone created one in MS Word
that I can re use?

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
Well I actually cranked mine up and taxied it around a bit on Sunday. Most everything
worked except for the alternator charging.
Mine idles at around 1800 rpm and at that engine speed the aircraft wants to creep
forward. What speed are people generally setting for idle ?

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Europa-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Europa-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:

Thank you,

******************************************************************************
Europa-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Europa-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Europa-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
