Neville is right about that with regard to the Europa, however most were fitted with NSI conversions and the gearbox was usually the culprit. There are several other conversions however, if I had an RV I might consider one, there are several successful 2.5 liter conversions out there, not least Charlie Airesman with a very fast, efficient Vari Eze Graham

    Subject: europa handling with subaru
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "GLENN CROWDER" <gcrowder2@hotmail.com> Hey Neville! Your comment that "the increased polar moment of inertia totally messes up the a very fine handling aeroplane" does not match my observations at all. The Subaru powered Europa seems very light and lively to me. My hangar mate with a O-320 powered Mustang II has flown the Europa several times and has commented that the handling is quite a bit lighter than his plane, both in roll and pitch. I have flown his plane also and while his aileron roll and pitch forces are higher, they are not heavy by any means. My instructor/test pilot who has test piloted hundreds of newly finished experimentals commented on how light the handling was and thought it was the best handling experimental he had flown although certainly not the fastest. He flies a Thorp T-18. I also had him do a complete stall series, flaps up and down including some spin entries and noted no issues. This was after someone on the list reported that his Europa would start to roll under on a flaps down approach stall. I have done flaps down stalls myself and only get a small wing break sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, release on back stick instantly arrests the stall. The one thing I have noticed when flying with a passenger is the ease of landing. When landing solo, after touching the tail first, I always seem to get one small bounce on the main before sticking down, with a passenger as soon as the main wheel touches it sticks and stays down. Roll out seems more stable as well. I've only flown on paved runways so I can't comment on grass field landing behaviour. One thing I really like about the Europa is that I can set the pitch trim in one spot for touch and goes and leave it alone for every part of the pattern. On downwind, just reduce power and slowly drop the flaps, the plane automatically seems to slow down to just the right speed (about 65 mph) with no pitch up as flaps are lowered. The last time I flew a Cessna, I remember constantly retrimming around the pattern, particularly forcing the nose down on flap application. On the Europa, the only time I change the trim is when going to cruise speeds. Cheers!

    Subject: Speed fairings -Tri-Gear
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Alan Stewart" <alan.stewart@blueyonder.co.uk> I think I agree that the speed fairings may be worthwhile from an aesthetic point of view. Also, there's the opportunity to extend useable range a little, by throttling back on engine RPM, while still maintaining a good turn of speed. It did occur to me some time back, that at 115 - 120 knots, an extra 5 mph only reduces a very long flight (say Edinburgh to London) by about 5 minutes, so it's possible to get hung up on diminishing returns. -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Cliff Shaw Subject: Europa-List: Speed fairings -Tri-Gear --> Europa-List message posted by: "Cliff Shaw" <flyinggpa@comcast.net> All OK, today was the day I measured the airspeed with the wheel pants installed. I had them on before, but did not know the airspeed. I am sure I got 4 MPH more today than last week with out the wheel pants installed. I had the landing gear leg faring on each time, so the over all improvement with the speed kit is well within the 5 MPH that has been reported earlier. I thing the pants are well worth the trouble of installing. I do have a tip for locating the mounting holes in the pants when you have the brackets installed on the legs. I put four hi-intensity mag light bulbs taped on the brackets shinning outward. (soldered wires to the bulbs and to clips on a battery) Slid the fiberglass wheel pants over the brackets and used a marking pen to mark the bright spot of light shining through the fiberglass. It worked for me. Cliff Shaw 1041 Euclid ave.

    Subject: Seats
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Europa (Alfred Buess)" <ykibuess@bluewin.ch> Hello Kingsley Some week ago I sent drawings and pictures of my Europa XS cockpit interior to Oregon Aero and asked them to produce the seats for my A/C. David Esterline at Oregon Aero promised me that they will make excellent seats for me. As soon as I will be able to trial fit them, I will let the forum know how it looks and feels.

FYI their reply is below. Regards Kingsley Hurst Mono Classic 281 in Oz.

We do not have a working pattern. We have worked with a few Europa owners to try and get a design, however none of them have stuck with the program long enough to make a cushion set and send it for trial fit. So we need some pictures and very detailed drawing to start this program again. Also after we make a set of cushion, we need to trial fix them in a Europa aircraft. Because you live so far away, it would not be practical to send cushions back and forth to Australia for trial fit. Hopefully we can find someone in the USA with a Europa, who is willing to work with us. I can only guess at what the price would be somewhere around $300.00 per seat for un-upholstered cushions. If you wanted Fabric (cloth) Upholstery the price range would be about $700.00 per seat. We also do Custom Leather Upholstery; the price range would be about $950.00 per seat. I will let you know if we ever manufacture a cushion set for a Europa. == direct advertising on the Matronics Forums. == == ==

    Subject: Canadian Aviation Expo
    From: "Peter Zutrauen" <peterz@zutrasoft.com>
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Peter Zutrauen" <peterz@zutrasoft.com> For the Canadian builders or future builders in southern Ontario, the Europa factory (John Hurst from Lakeland) will be attending the Aviation Expo http://www.canadianaviationexpo.com/html-frame.html (Canada's largest aviation show) this weekend on June 18th at the Oshawa Airport, with a tri-gear demo ship. With luck a local builder (Chris Staines) will also fly in with his fine turbo monowheel example on the Saturday. I'll also be there in the booth with an XS short wing as it comes from the factory as an example. Since the factory rarely attends a Canadian show, I thought it might be of interest to fliers in Ontario who have not had the good fortune to attend Osh or Sun'N'Fun. Cheers & blue skies, Pete A239 short and long wings
