If the tank is the same, both sides below the tunnel hold a 11 litres (one hour) - I put the test results in John Cliff's records at http://www.crixbinfield.freeserve.co.uk/europa.htm if you want hem. Cheers, Ferg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:45:25 PM PST US From: Tony Renshaw Subject: Europa-List: Finger Brakes Mechanical Advantage --> Europa-List message posted by: Tony Renshaw Gidday tri gear owners, I am keen to find out the ideal length of the levers. I was once told I think 6" from pivot to hole for handle, but I'd like that verified. Also, I'd like to know as well the height most recommended for knuckle clearance etc from the top of the tunnel, that will predetermine the depth of which I mount the master cylinders. I have a module not yet in my a/c, and even when I rest it in place my cross bracing does not allow me the opportunity to sit in and determine the ideal position, so location is also an issue, so I might just have to take an educated guess on that one, unless a suggestion or two comes my way. So, if anyone has any dimensions handy, I'd love them. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Australia Classic 236 B.B.

The total is now 41739 hours over 186 aircraft, but still those 83 aircraft with unknown hours stand out. For example, does anyone know which Europa is the one being advertised by "Malcolm" in Popular Flying with a Colchester (01206) phone number and "930 hours"? I can't find an aircraft in my records that matches the (skimpy) information in the ad. (No, I don't plan to ring up the seller - I'm sure he doesn't want time-wasters!)

Originally it was set up using two "Mono" brake levers, but that didn't provide enough leverage. Now it has a trigear -foot-pedal level (not straight) on the end of the straight mono levers. It works well enough, but takes quite a big pull. As the platform inside was set up for the mono levers the two bolts joining the levels together are above the top of the console. I am planning to use the Mod 65 dual master cylinder and have had permission now to combine my original mod platform with the mod 65 master cylinders. The levers for that will be an experiment when I see what I get when I buy them ! I can measure it all up for you if you want. Richard Richard F.W.

In case you miss getting one, here are some basic directions. From the Show, take County Line Rd. North to Interstate 4. West on Interstate 4 to Exit 10. South at Exit 10 1 block to Hwy 92 and turn left. 1 mile East on Hwy 92 to Parsons (traffic light) and turn right. South on Parsons =BC Mile. There is a Housing Sub-Division on the left that has a white fence line. Just at the end of the fence line is the entrance to Flight Crafters. We will have a Flight Crafters Barbecue sign at the entrance. Look forward to seeing everyone.

So, any ideas???? Anyone else who has installed these in a Classic module, I'd like to hear from. Reg Tony Renshaw Sydney Australia Classic 236 B.B.
