| Subject: | Re: TCU warning and caution lamps |
--> Europa-List message posted by: Simonnash41@aol.com
I started the 914 engine this weekend for the first time.
The two lamps for the TCU do not appear to light, I was expecting a lamp test when
power was supplied to the TCU. The servo for the wastegate does hunt when
power is supplied as expected.
Anyone had similar problems or know of a solution.
Thanks in advance.

Since I am not the builder of my Europa, I have not had any experience with
glass.
My question is this: Can I buy a "glass repair" kit at the local store
here?
Will it be compatible with the redux already used on the plane? Will they
stick to each other?
I realize that it will be a little bit heaver, but I only want to make two
small channels for air
to flow from the NACA vents to an eye ball vent.
AeroRedux (?) is very expensive also.. :)
I have an update on the loss of MP at high alt with my Rotax 914. The
Airbox to the port side carburetor was connected, but loose. So looking at
it, it looked fine! But, we tugged on it, and off it came. I will let you
guys know that kind of MP I hold at 11,000 MSL in the next week.
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
Redux is an adhesive used to bond metal parts to the structure, etc.
What you really need is an epoxy, such as Aeropoxy brand of epoxy,
available from Aircraft Spruce, etc. For the non-structural use of
making an air duct, you could use almost any epoxy available, although I
would stick with something that sets up slower than 5 or 20 minute epoxies.
On our Europa, we used a block of foam as a template to fabricate from
fiber glass/epoxy a duct that connects the NACA vents to eyeball
fittings (see 'http://www.europa-usa.com/n135TD.htm' cabin air inlet).
regards,

Can't answer your query about compatibility, but I have just completed
some ducts and eyeball vents. There are some pics at
http://forum.okhuijsen.org/ if you are interested. Have not flown them
yet so cant vouch for their effectiveness.

Paul,
Yes, I did see your eyeball vent mod and that is what got me thinking about
putting some in.
In fact I am installing 2 eyeball vents down close to feet.. these provide
heat.
Right now they are just open holes.
Terry, thanks for your link also.. It does look like you moved your NACA
vent some. So I think for my mod I will need to go with Paul's idea.
Let me make sure I have things down correctly.. I use blue foam (where do
you get that?) and shape the foam. Lay the glass over the foam and allow it
to setup with epoxy.. Then scrape the foam away from the hard glass, and
POOOF there is a usable piece.
Thanks...

>> Then scrape the foam away from the hard glass, and POOOF there is a

Even easier than scraping it away is to either
A) cover the foam with cellulose packing tape and rub wax (or another
suitabole rlease agent) over it then do the layup. You can then pull the
mould away from the inside
Or
B) If you don't mind a rough inside surface and don't wasn't to reuse
the mold again simply take the finished item outside and pour a bit of
gasoline into it. The blue foam will very quickly melt away.

Flight,
For those with US based Europa's.Where did you get your aircraft insurance
coverage from, coverage carried, and what can I expect the premiums to run
annually.
Thanks in advance,

I went through Falcon , the EAA plan agent. They may not be the cheapest,
but they will take good care of you. I have always been leery of the
"lowest bidder" !!!
