    Subject: Re: Ceiling Panel Compasses
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Carl & Dot" <carl_p@ntlworld.com> I can thoroughly reccomend the SIRS compass but would suggest you mount it on top of the instrument panel (my version came with a dual fitting option - ie: suspended or otherwise). We tried ours in the suspended position but it didnt feel right -BTW it is possible to attach it to the centre of the plexiglass screen (as in most automobiles - cars to the Brits) as it comes with a very sticky (AND PERMANENT) attachment pad. IMHO the suspended option puts the compass well out of your line of sight (you have to look up to read it) and there is the risk of knocking it when you are getting in and out of the aircraft. Of course if you have a DI then you may not need to refer to it that often.

But I would have liked to hear what Ivan said; I note that he named his American Europa after the Liberty engine of the 20's which alone weighed more than a complete Europa!

    Subject: Cowlings
    From: "Neville Eyre" <neville@europa-aircraft.com>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Neville Eyre" <neville@europa-aircraft.com> Hi All, The 914 as supplied does not normally come with the cylinder shroud, the 912S has that as a standard fitment. It is available for the 914 as an option [ but VERY EXPENSIVE !] Tests indicate a drop of oil and water temps of about 10 C when the shroud is fitted. If the shroud is left on, then the cowl MUST have the air inlet fitted, if the shroud is removed, you needn't cut the inlet. The air scoop cut into the lower duct is to let a bit of air flow past the Turbo on the 914. Hope this clears up any confusion ? Cheers, Nev. -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Simon Smith Subject: Europa-List: Cowlings --> Europa-List message posted by: "Simon Smith" <jodel@nildram.co.uk> I was idly looking through the engine installation manuals on the club website and was looking through the 912/S manual (I have a 914). It talks about a cut-out and splash moulding in the front of the cowling to direct air into the cylinder cowl. The 914 manual does not mention this but my 914 is fitted with the cowl, should it be? Do I need the cut-out/splash moulding or will the little bent tab in the cooling duct to the radiators (which is missing on the 912/S) do the job? Simon

    Subject: Re: Ceiling Panel Compasses
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Nigel Graham" <nigel_graham@btclick.com> Is it really wise to position the compass so close to all that metalwork and frantic electrical activity? The reason for placing it high has more to do with minimising the magnetic disturbance than ease of viewing. It might be a good idea to hold the compass over the instrument panel and power up all the eclectics and to verify any deviation - before mounting it permanently.

    Subject: Oh, my - paint
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fergus Kyle" <VE3LVO@rac.ca> Dave, I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with the paint 'gang'. The ultimate coat is the aim of most of us, but I think I'm going to have to either find a perfect painter and go with him, or be satisfied with what I can produce myself. The one thing your message reminded me was that some product articles in Sport Av seem to be written by their sales people - but appear as unbiased assessments .............. something blatantly impossible. In this case, the tradition of long-respected periodicals seems prudent - a short but honest history of the writer's career preceding the content. Then one can feel open to attitude change. Nothing beats an honest bio. Good luck in your quest, and keep us advised! Perhaps your altitude has something to do with it? Ferg A064

The intervening years have softened those rabid declarations though and if it can be EASILY seen around I think that's where the standby compass will go. I never had to use it in anger.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: EuropaXSA276@aol.com Thanks Jim. When you said continuous ground wire through the wings, I assume that you mean the only splice or connection should be at wing to fuselage with the rest of the connections. Another question is where did you place your com antenna? I had thought about in the wings but am concerned about the strobe wire being so close. Thanks for your help! Brian S A276 Tri Gear.

A pair of wingtip units has been working for me 23 years now w/o any need for service. Aeroflash quartz beacons can be troublesome, but their strobes as orig equipment on pre-1977 aircraft seem pretty rugged, per at least an email list of owners of one of those types.

Having used several of them HVLP conversion guns -- and it's not contrary to any mfr claims, there's nothing in HVLP technology that gives you a better finish, beyond less mist to settle on surfaces no longer wet enough to deal with it. They're great for body shops for profit and environmental reasons, and any poorer atomization makes little difference where they cut and buff it out anyway. Also, with HVLP, one has to invest extra $$ in cfm capacity of the compressor, overkill for otherwise topping off one's tires! I've found a "pressure pot" an excellent investment for shooting airplanes and safe to buy from Harbor Fright(!) Tools. Much better control over atomization -- set and forget -- and preferable for big things like planes, due to much less weight in the gun and 80% of the surface shot at less than ideal angles and/or body positioning. Also, of the dozen+ guns I have, old reliable still turns out to be a inexpensive one from Sears about 25 years ago. Only reason I can think of is maybe back then Sears sold house-branded stuff made by serious, domestic mfrs. Through google or eBay you can find good prices on Binks or DeVilbiss. Just watch our for correct needle diameter for the stuff being shot. Good luck! Regards, Fred F.

The size is 9 x 14 cm base, 6.5 high. weight 250 gr. How is the reliability of these (aeroflash) units? Maybe the inspection cover could be made when, if ever, needed, and just fix the units inside?

Works fine, no interference. I have had mine in service for 2 1/2 years, no reliabilty problem so far.

    Subject: HVLP Turbine Sprayer
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "KARL HEINDL" <kheindl@msn.com> Dave, I think your first problem was rushing into the job without practicing on some other material. I used an Apollo sprayer with reasonable success, but then I did have some prior experience with spraying of furniture lacquers. I believe that an experienced painter can do an excellent finish with almost any equipment and paint, but amateurs like you and me do it by trial and error. If you had orange peel then you didn't thin the paint correctly, and the same can happen with any system. Fine atomization of the paint is absolutely essential, a very fine mist is what you should aim at, with a needle size of about 1mm. The warm air from the turbine is not a problem, but it causes the paint to dry more rapidly. If that is not desirable then you simply use a different thinner (retardent) which increases drying time. The supplier of your paint would be able to advise you. Karl Half price modem, FREE connection and one month FREE - click here to sign up to BT Broadband.

I have been waiting 3 MONTHS and after telephoning Kirkbymoorside again this afternoon they still can't tell me when they will be able to supply it! Since these adhesives are fairly fundamental to the construction of a Europa I find it very difficult to understand how this situation has arisen. Does anyone know of alternative suppliers? I'm very disappointed with Europa today, to put it mildly :-( Simon Miles, Builder #508.

    Subject: Control Lock
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "RICHARD IDDON" <riddon@btinternet.com> I can claim no credit for this idea, it is a copy of the gust-lock mentioned by Peter Zutrauen from Ontario. The original was made in aluminium but I have made a similar item from 22mm. domestic plastic overflow piping, two T pieces and a length of shock cord. What I constructed is a T about 12 in. across and 18 in. long. I cut part of the pipe away at each end of the head of the T so that it sits over the rudder pedals. I fitted a second T piece at the foot of the leg at right angles to the head then cut half of the vertical section of this T piece away to leave a U section which fits against the stick. I drilled a couple of holes in the underside of my panel and threaded a piece of =BC in. shock cord through so that it lies out of the way on the underside of the panel when not in use. To use the lock simply drop it over the two pedals, place the stick into the U section and pull the shock cord over the stick, taking as turn around the top to stop it moving from side to side. It does allow a little movement in the control surfaces but stops them from banging About in the wind. Cost me pennies, weigh just an ounce or two and took less than an hour to make and fit. Peter sent me a sketch of the original which I would be pleased to forward on to anyone interested. Richard Iddon. G-RIXS Hoping to make it to Caernarvon tomorrow weather permitting.

Cliff, Roger - sorry for delay in responding. Both your suggestions rely upon the hinge not being assembled. I have been following the instructions in the manual, and thus my rudder hinges are assembled with the hinge wire safetied. (Incidentally, once the hinges are rivetted on, I can't see how the hinge wires can be removed or inserted without cutting away quite a bit of the edge of the adjacent hinge flange layup.) I have not had a problem with the filler getting into the hinge-wire hole - when properly made up, it's much too dry to get anywhere by capillary action like plain epoxy does. The presence of the other hinge leaf prevents Roger's idea being used, but it's something like that I feel is needed. I have put masking tape over the hinge knuckle, with parcel tape on top for better epoxy resistance. That stops filler adhering to the hinge, but doesn't help with achieving a nice-looking edge to the filler. I suppose I could tape on a tiny triangular-section fillet - well, the hypotenuse would have to be a quadrant of a circle, not a straight line - but that seems a bit fiddly and I'm not sure it would stay on during all the work. Still looking for better ideas! regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson PFA #16532 <http://home.clara.net/rowil/aviation/> | 670 hours building Europa #435 G-ROWI e-mail <rowil@clara.net>

We also have a WW2 remote compass (sender mounted up the back) and they both agree (as far as we can determine). We are certainly not aware of any interference with the coaming mounted compass. Reason we fitted the SIRS compass was as a backup because the fluid leaked out of the original WW2 compass sender and the original compass jammed. When we took it apart we found the gasket on the compass housing had been bodged (a reconditioned unit). We have manufactured a proper gasket and a year on both compasses are working fine (and seem to agree). And if two compasses werent enough, we tend to use the compass rose on the Garmin GPS3 as the primary reference, with the magnetic compasses as backup - are we taking redundancy too far? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nigel Graham" <nigel_graham@btclick.com> Subject: Re: Europa-List: Ceiling Panel Compasses > --> Europa-List message posted by: "Nigel Graham" <nigel_graham@btclick.com> > > Is it really wise to position the compass so close to all that metalwork > and frantic electrical activity? > The reason for placing it high has more to do with minimising the > magnetic disturbance than ease of viewing. > It might be a good idea to hold the compass over the instrument panel > and power up all the eclectics and to verify any deviation - before > mounting it permanently. > > Just a thought > > Nigel > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Carl & Dot" <carl_p@ntlworld.com> > To: <europa-list@matronics.com> > Subject: Re: Europa-List: Ceiling Panel Compasses > > > --> Europa-List message posted by: "Carl & Dot" <carl_p@ntlworld.com> > > I can thoroughly reccomend the SIRS compass but would suggest you mount > it > on top of the instrument panel (my version came with a dual fitting > option - > ie: suspended or otherwise).

Any thoughts | and suggestions. | Troy Maynor | N120EU Monowheel Classic | Left to finish: | Paint,interior,engine install, wiring. Troy, Over 'ere we call that a GPU socket (ground Power unit). I fussed over where to set my Piper style (stolen from the files of Bob Nuckolls - using toilet seat hinge bolts etc) but wanted to be sure the 'ground grunt' didn't step into the the prop after startup to yorque the cable and plug out. The main consideration is having either the socket area in sight or reachable for reasons of safety. It should be close to the battery and other heavy cable units for weight reasons and I was going to put it behind the wingflap root. However, [1] I decided to have a forward battery at firewall site (with mebbe a second back behind if needed) and [2] to make it available to me, so decided to put it just under the instrument panel port end. So it sits close to the NACA cabin air inlet (just below actually) and I can reach it with the door half-cocked, while the ground power unit - battery cart - whatever - sits behind the port wingroot, cable over the wingwalk. That way, I see where the GPU erk is, can cut the engine if someone approaches the live prop, and release the plug and cable rearward so he can haul in and secure. Hope that's of use, Ferg A064
