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.

Sorry, Hedley, that you couldn't make it to Cranfield on Tuesday evening.
There is no transcript available - you really needed to be there to get the
full flavour of an inspiring talk in which Ivan explained the principles he
followed that led down the road to the Europa and then to the Liberty.
If Ivan can be persuaded to give such a talk again, whether at Kemble or
elsewhere, I strongly recommend people to overcome all obstacles to be
there.

I was all set to fly down to Cranfield for the lecture and stay over to
return home the next day, but when I got to my Fishburn base there was a
supra-Europan 90deg wind. So I wimpishly refrained. Seeing the weather
today, I'm quite glad I did. 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! Did anyone get to the
talk, and is there any chance of a transcript of it being made available on
this net? H

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.

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?

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

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?

I don't know how much of this tired olde pilote stuff you can stand, but
IMHExperience several times in the trusty old DC3, I have craned to look at
a piece of the sky lurking behind the top centre-mount liquid compass to
find a neat but solid aircraft bearing down - and swore never to put one
there. 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.

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!

Only experience is with Whelen's. 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.

I mounted my Whelen strobe power packs (HTS, CF) on small inspection

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.

My only problem with my wing tip mounting is that it adds 1 1/2" to the

Is anyone else having trouble getting fresh supplies of Ampreg and Redux
from Europa? 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 :-(

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

Subject: | Re: Ceiling Panel Compasses |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Carl & Dot" <carl_p@ntlworld.com>
Have been flying with said configuration for a year and no problems. 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?

Hi All,
I want to put in an external power connection (piper style) that I found at
S n F. Reason being, If I ever get caught out somewhere and temporarily run
down the battery for a poor starting technique or some other reason, it will
be a little tricky to get the cowling back on after start. ;) For those of
you that have installed a ground power plug, where is the ideal place to
locate it? I was thinking about stealing one fine gentleman's idea that
lives in Tampa, but hate to run that much copper from the RH footwell to
behind the pilots seat. It may be the only safe place though. Any thoughts
and suggestions.

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

Hi Troy,
Safety first then what ever, Having it behind my seat gives me
control without having anyone forward of the wings exposed to the
propeller. Plus, when its disconnected, I close the door and motor away.
