I've seen quite a few Europas with excessive elevator looseness, where the builder says he was careful (not met a lady builder yet :-( ) The trouble is that an almost imperceptible amount of movement at the pin soon multiplies up to 1/2 inch at the trailing edge. The vibration of taxying over lumpy ground cause hammering at the holes and it starts to get worse quite quickly. Graham

This RF stuff is right down my alley (I do cellular, PCS and microwave RF testing for a living) so here goes. Roughly 96% of the radiated energy is dissipated in the first two wavelengths distance from the antenna. Couple that with the fact that your body is about 72% water which results in "skin effect", the phenomena that makes the radio waves pass around your body, not through it. Therefore, consider a few inches a safe distance from transponder antennae. Skin effect is the same reason why cell phones DO NOT cause cancer. Remember, it takes 600-1000 watts of highly concentrated microwave RF energy to pop your popcorn or thaw out that chicken for dinner, so 200 watts of highly dispersed RF isn't going to do diddly to your DNA. What you do not want to do is spend a lot of time looking at the antenna up close when it is transmitting. RF can damage your retinas. In regards to transponder antennae and placement, I'm using the Advanced Aircraft Electronics transponder antenna mounted on the right side of the fuselage (vertically polarized) about 14" in front of the rear bulkhead. I've tested this arrangement using an Anritsu-Wiltron 251S Sweep Generator with RG-58C/U and RG-400 at 1090Mhz and the cable loss difference between the two was negligible at this frequency. Keep in mind this is a serious piece of test gear, not a $50 SWR meter from Radio Shack, so I'm confident and pleased with the results. The aggregate SWR for this antenna, with good quality RG 58C/U is running about 1.3 and the return loss for the coax, using a precision 50 ohm load at the antenna end, is in the dirt too. There is also no apparent interference problem from any of the metalic objects (pitch push rod, counter balance, etc) in the vacinity of the antenna. I'm installing the Garmin 320A transponder. It puts out something on the order of 250 watts when transmitting. I've not done any field strength testing, but with the numbers I'm seeing in my testing I think ATC will "see" me just fine. I also have an MFJ-259B for COM testing, kind of Mickey Mouse compared to the Wiltron, but it works. I'm installing an Advanced Aircraft Electronics COM antenna mounted on the tailpost, vertically polarized. Using RG-58CU and Amp connectors I have an average aggregate SWR of 1.4 across the COM band. The return loss for the coax is kind of high at 4.8 dB, so I might be looking at some other coax for the COM feed line. The bottom line here is this, if you want good performance from your radios use good quality coax and good quality connectors and install them properly. Use connectors that have SOLDERED center pins, not crimp on ones. The crimp on center pins might work fine now, but they will corrode over time and degrade your transmit and receive performance. The connector should also crimp tightly onto the shield. Use the right tool for the job, not a pair of pliars! Don't use clamp on type connectors unless you want trouble down the road, either. Scratch Radio Shack off your list of vendors for either of these parts. BTW, if anybody wants their antenna system(s) checked, I'll have all my test gear available at our fly-in in June. I can test anything from 25 Mhz to 3.3 Ghz. Regards, John Lawton Dunlap, TN A-245 (baggage bay bonded in yesterday, now I'm trying to figure out how to spray Zolatone)

    Subject: Ventilation of shop area
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Rob Housman" <RobH@hyperion-ef.com> Ventilation is important but not because of any noxious odors. Aeropoxy and Araldite do give off an odor but it is not so strong that it would be noticed beyond arm's length from the source. What is a very real concern is how you (and others in the house) are affected by a possible allergic reaction to the epoxy resin, both as a liquid prior to cure and as dust from grinding and sanding after cure. Some people are unaffected and others must resort to rather extreme measures to avoid breaking out in a rash. I have developed an annoying, but not extreme, sensitivity that has progressively worsened with exposure, but I can mitigate the problem by working only with good ventilation and by breathing through an activated charcoal respirator. It took me a while to recognize that it is not only contact with resin or dust that causes a rash. For me, breathing the vapor or dust is sufficient to trigger a reaction. Because you can not know in advance (unless you have already experienced an allergic reaction to other epoxies) whether you will be sensitive to the epoxy used in the kit you MUST assume that you are allergic and take the necessary precautions to avoid direct skin contact with any of the epoxies used in construction, and to use a respirator when working with uncured epoxy or when sanding any epoxy surfaces. It would be prudent to provide sufficient ventilation in your basement shop and to isolate you shop (a closed door should suffice) in order to keep the fumes and dust from escaping into your living quarters.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Kevin Klinefelter" <kevann@gte.net> In my garage shop I have a 12" fan vent through the roof, sucking air out of the shop. I can leave the door to the house open, letting "room temperature" air in to the shop, which is great both winter and summer. No problem with dust or odors going into the house. If you can get an exhaust fan to suck air out of your basement, you should be a happy builder.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: James H Nelson <europajim@juno.com> Hi John Lawton..... Wow, that is nice test gear. It will be very nice of you to test our antenna's. I used Bob Kuckols SWR meter he "rents" out. I use the Europa vertical dipole in the fin.. Accordingly I got a fairly nice swr of 1.2 to 1.4 (if memory seves me well) and the usual dip which I trimmed for the best swr around 126 mhz. So, I guess we'll bring our screw drivers to get in and check it out. Just ran a route on my gps and found it to be about 495 nm to your place. We will have one refueling stop on the way in Ga. Depending on winds we will try to do approx. 120K ground speed. Depends on each of our fuel consumption. It will be nice to compare the three of us. One mono, one tri gear and one conventional gear. I hope the WX will cooperate for the flight. I assume there are accomodations close by. What are the times for the get together?? Details, details, details....... Fuel: mogas? or avgas? Should we refuel at the Co. airport just south of you?j Jim Nelson N15JN

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "R.C.Harrison" <ptag.dev@ukonline.co.uk> Hi! David. I built my MK I Europa in my centrally heated double garage which links directly to my rear entrance and utility room with no problems, although I did paint a damp proof membrane on the floor to help manage the humidity factors. For extraction I had a 9" Xpelair mounted in a window pane. You haven't said if your purchase is an early foam winged a/c or the latest "airfix" type wings? The earlier type had lots of sanding needed which was likely to tramp the dust into the house.

Is anyone building in their house and if so has ventilation been an issue while working with the epxoy? If so, how have you dealt with it? > >

Usually, around here that time of year we tend to have the scattered "popcorn" late afternoon t-storms. Usually easy to see and steer around. > I assume there are accommodations close by. Yes, there are a number of motels and eateries close by. No Hilton's or Marriotts, but clean, modest accommodations are 5-7 miles from the field. I can give you numbers and descriptions of the local motels if you'd like. Doug is supposed to have his mini-van available as an airport shuttle. Also, I've got a Pathfinder and Doug and I both drive F-250 Crew Cabs, so we'll be able to shuttle those who don't camp at the field. What are the times > for the get together?? We're winging it. Since we operate a glider club out of the field, good weather means we'll be towing all day from about noon on. At this point I can say we'll certainly do a cookout Saturday evening, maybe even home made ice cream. Perhaps we'll meet for Sunday breakfast somewhere. Suggestions? > Should we refuel at the Co. airport just south of you? Marion County Airport, (APT) about 16 NM SW does have fuel. If you'd like to see the length of the Sequatchie Valley, Crossville (CSV) has the cheapest fuel around. I can also give you the Lat and Long of a couple of nice waterfalls along the way. Last time I checked CSV's 100LL was about $2.15/gal. when everybody else was running about $2.40 - $2.50/gal. Their sectionals are cheap too. Regards, John Lawton Dunlap, TN A-245
