=93Calling all avionics specialists.=94
The 8 year old Navaid Devices Autopilot in my Europa has gone
unserviceable again.
I sent the equipment (display head and servo) back to the manufacturers
in Tennessee (which costs an arm and a leg is transport costs =96 about
=A390) and they repaired the unit, only to have it fail again on its
return, in exactly the same manner, about ten minutes after
re-installation !
Does anyone know of anyone in this country with the necessary expertise,
who can take on the job ?
Obviously, I don=92t want to send it back to the States again, only to
have it fail for a second time, and with the flying =91season=92 upon us,
I=92m looking for a quicker turnaround.
The symptoms are that =93left=94 servo commands are realised, but =93right=94
commands are ignored ! I think that there is some sort of short on the
circuit board.
Oh, I live in S.E. England !!
Alan

If the owner of G-NEAT would like to write to me privately, I can give
you some feedback about radio performance issues.
.. I was listening to your conversations with Gatwick yesterday.
Radio comms can be an irritant sometimes. There have been many occasions
where I've suffered similar difficulties.

Alan,
At least you have had eight years of use. My Digitrack has been across
the water five times and I have never yet had it working. If you get to hear
of someone who can sort such things this side of the Atlantic please let me
know.
Roger.

--> Europa-List message posted by: "bryan allsop" <info@blackballclub.fsnet.co.uk>
After my bum numbing Lands End fly in experience last week, I was 'volunteered'
to seek retribution on the Bath and Bristol set by arranging the next one.
I cant find any freebies way up north, so I thought I would try to make it a little
more interesting for the Southerners amongst us. How's about meeting at Sheffield
at 11.am to fly on to Sandtoft for the bacon butty fetish.
Both are in this months' Flyer freebies. Sheffield has a superb new runway, but
it is geared to be a mini airport, not a flying club. they like to fax joining
instructions before letting you in, but I will have a word with them to see
if we can get round this. Sandtoft is a flying club with a good feeding hole.
Hopefully we can fly on to Sandtoft as a squadron. Perhaps we can shake a few guys
from north of Derbyshire to join us as well.
Please let me know if you fancy the trip so that I can give the venues a nod.
Happy hat dropping. Bryan

Hi All,
Well I put on my Nomex suit, gloves and crash helmet and let N378PJ take to the
air. The flight was 20 minutes long staying in the pattern. It flies nicely
and seems to be in perfect trim.
After 5 years and 9 months of building it is really nice to finally fly it. I
have many people to thank, John, Andy and Neville at Europa, but my special thanks
goes to Graham Singleton. His encouragement and experience got me to this
point with a better aircraft.
Paul

Paul,
Congratulations on your first flight. In addition to those 5 years of work
you've helped numerous others get ahead. You deserve all the fruits of your
labors. Enjoy!

After getting my top on this weekend, I'm looking ahead to rudder and tail. I find
that my ribs are too long for the sternpost installation. I can move the top
rib to fit but the bottom rib is up against the rear bulkhead as it show in
the manual and is 25mm to long. Has anyone had this occurrence and what was the
fix? Cutting the bottom rib to fit the rear bulkhead? Moving the front of the
rib up or down does not solve this problem. It is shaped for the front of the
tail and not for the rear bulkhead.

Good news mate. Looking forward to hearing a more verbose description
of that flight. Reading about first flights has a good psychological
effect for me being one of those still frustrated that I can't actually
do one yet.

--> Europa-List message posted by: JohnDHeykoop@aol.com
Hi All
I have emailed a copy of the warning light schematic I got from TruTrak to
Ivor Phillips and Alan Haynes. If there are any other builders who would like to
have a copy, please let me know (if you are a UK builder the PFA will insist
that you have an autopilot warning light).
Likewise, if there are any other UK builders who would like to base their
DigiTrak PFA mod application on my PFA mod #10711 please let me know and I'll
email you a copy. It is nothing much, I simply asked for approval to install the
DigiTrak as per the existing Europa club Navaid mod with a few minor changes.
This got me a positive response within about a month, which is pretty good
going for a PFA mod.
Regards
John Heykoop
