      HI
         As a Vans RV builder I must apologise for invading your mail group but as someone
      who is about to take on the leviathan task of getting the PFA to accept
      a Subaru engine in my RV I turn to those who have "done it before". I've been
      told that in the long distant past there were europas flying with Subaru's under
      the bonnet....if you were that person or could point me in the right direction
      I would be eternally grateful.

      Phil,
      
      There are certainly a few Subaru-powered Europas still flying, and some
      under construction.
      
      Names that come immediately to mind are Simon Collins, Mark Jackson, Bill
      Wynne, but I'm sure there are others too.
      
      Kind regards,
      Jeremy
      
      Jeremy Davey

      Dear Tim,
      
      Many congratulations on getting your Europa into the air (and back down again).
      I wish you all the very best and safe flying.
      
      Don't forget to check and clean those filters regularly before every flight initially,
      until you have faith that they don't need so much attention.
      
      Good luck
      
      Andy

      Well, after 7 years 1 month, with an extended high pressure system enveloped the
      Canterbury Plains  my wife asked me if this is THE day.
       I said "I suppose so, no excuses now".
      ZK-TIM had done 2.5 hours of ground running, taxy tests (Low speed and High ish
      speeds) and all looked good. A few minor problems that would have to go on the
      MEL (Minimum Equipment List..airline jargon) but quite within the DDPG (airline
      jargon) otherwise after 5 hours on flying other Europas I was confident.
      With the family standing outside the Wigram hangar I completed the run-up and now
      'let the truth be told'.
      The Rotax 912S with Airmaster Prop (empty weight 841 lbs) was very eager to show
      me what it can do, and it didn't let me down. A very rapid acceleration occurred,
      the forward pressure on the stick to raise the tail was soon calling and
      what an impressive performance. Climbed away at 65kts and the undercarriage came
      up with ease. Climb selected on the Airmaster Prop I had to bring the MP back
      quickly to stop busting altitudes! and gaining too much speed. Took it around
      the circuit, with a glide approach always available, to try out the controls
      and they were very responsive. A little port aileron down needed to stop roll
      (may be my weight) otherwise rudder balance good and elevator very effective.
      Did an approach and overshoot to 200ft to try out the gear extension/ retraction
      again (and wave to the family) and then climbed to 3000ft out of the circuit
      to try one clean stall recovering at the buffet and that was sweet. Tried it
      with gear/flap down only to the initial buffet and that was sweet. Very mild,
      no wing drop and easy recovery.
      Oil temperatures and pressures were all good, within the Rotax parameters. This
      was a relief as I have the Classic cowlings and for the Rotax 912S I changed
      the position of the Oil Cooler to underneath the spinner within the same lines
      as the lower cowling. Airmaster Propeller worked very well as expected.
      Then returned for a landing on the grass approaching 65 kts and brought it back
      to 60kts and it quietly settled on the grass.
      Many thanks to all you guys for tremendous help and friendship during the building.
      Also to Andy and Neville and John for their wisdom and advice; Europa and
      Ivan for such a 'classy' aircraft, and my wife, Adrienne, whom I married at the
      beginning of the build, produced 3 children during the build, and we are still
      together at the end of the build!!!
      A special thanks to Gavin Lee, Russell Lister, Pat Scotter Ron Smith and Tony K.
      of  NZ, who have always been so accommodating with their expertise.
      Keep building, as that 'Europa smile' when I returned back, captured by the family
      , is well worth waiting for.
      
      Cheers,

      If you don't have feedback on the intercom function, you have an RF feedback
      problem. The shielded battery box says that 's what Lightspeed thinks too.
      Transistors are a bunch of diodes that just love to rectify your RF. Since
      you have a Europa, moving the antenna is not very attractive as suggestions
      go. Try placing some .01 capacitors around the system to short out the RF.
      If possible, in the battery box between the audio wires and the ground wire
      and between + and - on the box terminals. Another good spot is on the
      headset socket, do both if possible. As a test you could wrap a long strip
      of aluminum foil around the headset wires and ground it to the earphone
      socket with a short wire with alligator clips.
      Hope this helps. RF shielding is really a black art.

      Yo Paul,
              Actually it's Ferg, but the error is easily made, not that it
      matters that much
              It is difficult to assess from here because different makers assign
      different terms to various functions. I will await your scouring the manual
      for any clues.
      Basically, I think your problem is acoustic feedback, but RF feedback may
      also be present. The latter is less likely with transistors than with tubes,
      so I think your earphones may be leaking excess volume to the region of the
      mike. VOX in a Stearman is a constant problem because of the large
      background volume of the engine in an open cockpit.
              Also, there is always 'noise' in an electrical/electronic circuit
      (called internal noise) due to ions and so forth jumping about but always
      worse in tubes than transistors. The squelch is installed to make the mike
      insensitive to this and that's the "threshold" for sensitivity. Noise below
      that doesn't get through. The other datum sets the level at which your voice
      triggers the audio. It gets sticky beyond that, but the Squelch knob on the
      front usually sets the level at which external noise shuts off the mike -
      but then perhaps I'm being too simple.
              Let's see what the manual says - probly makes an ass of my remarks.
      Ferg

      | Hi Fred,
      |
      | To answer your question my set up has a push to talk for transmitting.  If
      | your theory is correct I should be able to improve the situation by
      reducing
      | the microphone gain.  The GX60's internal intercom has the following
      | parameters that can be set:
      |
      | -   RF Level
      | -   Headphone level
      | -   Side tone  level
      | -   Intercom level
      | -   Intercom squelch
      | -   Noise level
      |
      | I was hoping to set one that said "Microphone gain", but alas no. I will
      dig
      | out the manual tonight and see if any of the above settings might help.
      |
      | Cheers,  Paul

      Phil - my records show that 11 Subaru-engined Europas are flying 
      worldwide, and at least 3 of those now written-off also had Subaru 
      engines. You can find a lot of info in the "flying aircraft" table on 
      the Europa Club website, but to save you time (and Francis D the 
      effort of cross-referencing the project numbers from the registration 
      marks), the 8 still flying in UK are:

      12780 G-TERN
      12967 G-CHEB
      
      The information is correct as far as I know, but changes may have 
      occurred since last I heard from the people concerned. Hope this 
      helps!

      Andrew - you need my part number to manual page cross-reference*! 
      FL23 goes on the AN525-10R16 bolt which passes through the bottom end 
      of FL16. In my printed monowheel manual, that is shown on page 28-16. 
      However, in the PDF version of the manual, pages 28-16 and 28-17 have 
      been swapped.
      
      You might think you could search the PDF for the part number, but 
      FL23, like many others, is only called out in hand-written text on 
      drawing pages (ie, embedded in a graphic), and so cannot be located 
      by a text searches.

      Trying to cram everything into the tunnel including the main wheel and 
      brake cylinder. Firstly the suggested route for the brake line - (along 
      the top of the S/A forward of LGO8 and then top of the tunnel near 
      throttle cables) - seems way too far for the brake line I have. Second I 
      seem to remember a factory 'Tech talk' in relation to the brake caliper, 
      but can't lay my hands on it can anyone remember which issue. 
      
      Can anyone shed any light on this mystery.

      Forget the alas part, as seems (desirable) auto mic audio leveling is about 
      standard on new boxes, with the chip to do the job about $1.  Lowering mic 
      gain could indirectly and incorrectly fix the real problem, and you won't be 
      effectively using all the xmit watts you paid for.

      I agree it could be RF pickup and a 1st guess at that.  But bipolar transistors
      
      can do pretty good job of "rectification" with 10W coming out of an antenna 
      6 feet away from whatever is picking it up.  That's about 3+ volts of 
      electromagnetic field at that distance, and unlike metal airplanes, the RF 
      energy inside the fuselage of a plastic airplane is as strong as it is outside.
      
      Worse yet, you might agree Ferg, is that at VHF comm frequencies, there's 
      the "near-field effect" within about 8 feet from the antenna, meaning 
      whatever is picking it up need not be of a much of a tuned element to cause 
      bad things.  If able to move the antenna, it may not take much, as near 
      field attenuates with the cube of the distance.
      
      No one has specifically mentioned that the mic audio wires - ground + hot -
      should be inside a shield which is grounded at the radio end.
      
      Paul, RF pickup can be determined by severely attenuating the output from 
      the antenna, by several methods, if you'll repost the need to do so as last 
      resort.

| Subject:  | Weeping drain valves | 
      
      --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
      
      Hi All,
      
      I am having trouble with the spring loaded drain valve on the bottom of my Gascolator.
      It seems that the smallest amount of crud underneath the "O" ring causes
      it to drip and the only way I can clean it is to remove it, wash it out with
      alcohol and a tooth brush.
      
      Does any one have a recommendation of a better valve or a way of cleaning it without
      removal.
      
      Thanks,  Paul

      All,
      I've been trying to decide what instruments to put in my panel and have
      narrowed it down some but still have some questions.  Have any Europa
      builders that have installed the Dynon D-10 found it necessary to install
      the external magnetic sensor and if so what location did they use.  Thanks
      in advance for any input.
