(dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle)) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:56:50 AM PST US From: "Dan Bish" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Mod 62 Pins Not Fitting --> Europa-List message posted by: "Dan Bish" Kingsley, Thanks for the reply. I was able to get everything to fit up last night buy cooling the pins in the fridge and warming the tube slightly. They're tight but in a way I suspect they should be. They tap back out with a little help from my hammer friend. It was just that on something so important, I was afraid I'd screw the holes up if I got too aggressive. I don't expect any slop but if I develop any later down the road, I'm preparing my nylon bushes to be ready to install Bob Harrison's clamp mod. Anyway, thanks for the response and encouragement. It's coming along, slow but sure.

He has a beautiful, great running XS Tri-Gear with a 914UL. Gordon completed his airplane at Flightcrafters. Together, they did a wonderful job. Happy Flying Gordon!!!

They come with a metal battery box. We can ship to the UK if the UK office doesn't carry them. We have used the 545 with our 912ULS for quite some time with good results, however, the newer 680 offers more cranking amps at only a small weight & cost difference. John Hurst Europa Aircraft Lakeland, FL -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of John & Paddy Wigney Subject: Europa-List: Odyssey PC545 battery --> Europa-List message posted by: John & Paddy Wigney <<< Europa-List message posted by: europa@pstewart.f2s.com 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. Regards Paul Stewart G-GIDY >>>> 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.

I believe the holes are likely to be a little off the true diameters and hence if they do not go exactly where they were first drilled you artificially make some slack in the system and this leads to trouble later.

I don't want to start a storm of discussion regarding computer viruses on the Lists, so please just note the information below and refrain from commenting to the List. The circumstances I describe below are disturbing enough that I felt an explanation is necessary. That being said... There is a new email-bourne virus running rampant on the Internet that is cleverly disguising itself as legitimate email warning of such things as: "your email account is disabled because of unauthorized access" "Some of our clients complained about the spam (negative e-mail content) outgoing from your e-mail account" "Probably, you have been infected by a proxy-relay trojan server. In order to keep your computer safe, follow the instructions." "Our main mailing server will be temporary unavailable for next two days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free auto-forwarding service." All of these messages include an attachment that you are instructed to click upon to "Get more information", "clean the virus from your system", or "check your system for infections". These enclosures all contain a virus that will infect your system and propagate even more copies of the original message. The disturbing part of these messages is that they appear to be coming from very legitimate addresses and have very legitimate, convincing dialog. For example, I have received a number of them today that appear to be from "support@matronics.com", "management@matronics.com", "administration@matronics.com", and "staff@matronics.com". The text of the messages seems believable enough, and given the forged source address, seem even more legitimate. Please be assured that no one at Matronics.com will be sending you these kinds of messages. If you receive one, it is a spam/virus that has forged headers and was sent to you from someone other than Matronics. Delete the message and the attachment promptly. Invest in a copy of Norton Antivirus and keep the definitions up dated on a daily basis. Again, I want to stress that I *DO NOT* want a big discussion of viruses on the Matronics Email Lists. Please do not reply to this email with any comments. You may write to me directly at dralle@matronics.com if you wish, but do not include the List. Since many of these appear to come from matronics.com, I wanted to assure everyone that Matronics wasn't the real source of these messages. Let's be careful out there and keep those virus definitions up to date! Today alone, the Matronics spam filter and virus blocking appliance has filtered out 11,550 spam messages and 375 viruses! That's just in an 18 hour period! Best regards, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator -- Matt G. Dralle | Matronics | P.O.
