Hubly disagree. Malmi, jan and feb: The FBO was adding antifreeze to the 100LL, "compound". Same stuff was added to the club planes here in Lapland at the April skiplane camp. Fuel tank samples are not taken below zero, because if there would be water it would be frozen on/in the drains. Good chance they would not close at all afterwards. In Lapland we add petrol and diesel antifreeze (some kind of alcohol?) at the start of the freezing temperatures once and every time the cars are returning from the South, having been in + degrees. And yes, we have seen frozen filters and fuel lines many times. But then you are living way South eh? > PS: something wrong with my wifes coffee? Absolutely not, and i really enjoyed it.

Try Flight Math from Trivectus: http://www.trivectus.com It's neat at setting up a Plan like an EB6. Not transferable as yet though to GPS. You might look at MacGPSPro: http://www.macgpspro.com. Good GPS mapping programme including capability to geo reference your own Maps and importing Waypoints and Routes. Works with Chart Chunks from AeroPlanner too. If you are running Virtual PC then obviously all PC Planners in the main seem to work. I am running PocketFMS that way on a G4 PowerBook with OSX 10.3.5. Lots of other information around this subject if you need it. Kind Regards Gerry Europa 384 G-FIZY Trigear with Rotax 912 and Arplast CS Prop. Panel near completion.

If buying a portable GPS, consider what physical interface it has for the computer. There seems at last to be a slow trend among GPS manufacturers towards USB instead of the old serial port. Keyspan and others make USB-serial adaptors which current Macs can use, but experience of those seems a bit variable. Obviously much neater to have USB on the GPS. Taking a step backwards, if you don't need or want a graphical interface on the software, there are plenty of examples of non-graphical VFR flight planning solutions around as spreadsheets. John Race marketed one some time back for MS-DOS Lotus-123, described in a Plot magazine article in June 1991. I bought a copy and translated for my own use to the Mac spreadsheet Resolve, and then later to Excel when Claris ceased supporting Resolve. I also have copies of several other people's spreadsheet versions with different levels of sophistication. Just to see if it could be done, I built my own text-interface version of the classic VFR wind-triangle stuff as a FileMaker Pro database, but it's not really ready for public view as it has no proper user interface. Anyone with FileMaker Pro 5 or 6 installed is welcome to have a copy, though, and let me know your opinons! I guess if I do any more work on it, it will be in FileMaker Pro 7 as that's where my development is now concentrated. regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson PFA #16532 <http://home.clara.net/rowil/aviation/> | 710 hours building Europa #435 G-ROWI e-mail <rowil@clara.net>

Also the comment on 'ground plane' seemed ominous.

That's 500,000 miles and two atmospheres. I see the loss of signal due topgraphy but not path length. You did not comment on directivity/blanking. You don't suppose those periods of ATC non-reception to be this cause? It seems outlandish but such things do exist methinks. What would you propose?; I am interested in your thoughts.............

However, now, there's no way to know whether the replies behind the blinking light are associated with the ATC facility you're talking to. The radar site(s) ATC is using to interrogate you could indeed be within a null area in your radiation pattern, and therefore a likely installation issue. In fact, more so lately, you could merely be replying to TCAS interrogations from an airplane close by, and many of the TCAS boxes blast you with about 400 watts worth of interrogatory, I guess for safety and thus legal liability reasons. All the more why nothing certain can be deduced from a blinking reply light, except a 50-cent lamp is good! Reg, Fred F.

    Subject: Tie Bar and Vent location 4) Questions
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us> Hello Andy I hope all is going well with your new venture. "GOOD LUCK" !!! 1) I have an Accelerated CPM and monogear XS. There is a clearance relief for tie bar incorporated in the pitch tube tunnel. The manual shows how to cut a relief. Do I need to bond the tie rod to the tunnel of the CPM to prevent buckling under compression loads? If so what is best way to do it? I was going to paint the tie rod before installing, do i need a scuff sanded bond to the rod, or just a cuddle to the paint? 2) The tie bar does not lay flat on the fuse, it calls for filling the void with flox. Should I best use Redux or Aeropoxy? Should I scuff sand and bond to both surfaces? 3)The front lift pin socket pad needs reinforcing on the inside of fuse. It calls for blue foam to be used. Can I substitute Balsa? 4) What is the best location for he NACA vents? (Dimensions ?) Thx. Sincerely Ron Parigoris

Right-o, Fred, About this reciprocity law - I think it was passed while my back was turned (probably against the wall). If the interrogation system is anything like the aerochat freqs, the ATC interrogator probably has many more watts output than does the transponder. That may be reciprocity in the master/slave market, but is it true for the ATC txpdr too? cheers, Ferg Could we make a fortune trading the 50-center for a dime LED?

    Subject: The rise of Europa
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Dave Anderson" <dja767@charter.net> HI group, It seems from what I have gathered that the new Europa has completely ignored the US market. As far as I know, the US sales office has not been included in the revival of the company. If they happen to be out there, to me they are making at least three mistakes. Two mistakes are not capitalizing on the talents of John Hurst and Neville Eyre. They were EXTREMELY valuable, from my personal perspective having completed an aircraft in 11 full time and 4 part time months. Dealing with an office in the US, as responsive as John made it, was a critical part of all of this. As useful as all your inputs were off this list, Neville was the one who made the construction of the mini U2 possible. Big mistake. The third mistake is not having a US sales office. John Hurst was extremely valuable and went WAY above that required to support the US customers. I personally saw him stay after midnight helping a buyer load up his kit - all on his OWN TIME!!! He has a genuine enthusiasm for the airplane that is contagious. In addition to sales, he was doing development work and interfacing with the sub components such as Rotax and Airmaster. On the subject of Airmaster, A fellow Europa builder out here having built one of the first kits in the US (he can be seen on the sales video) ordered and PAID for an Airmaster prop. That prop never showed up to the tune of $5200. This is obviously a situation that is totally unacceptable. It borders on theft. Right on the border. Also, in the trouble shooting of my 914 engine, I have looked over everything and found that there may have been a manifold leak through the joint between the carb tray and the intake. I can't believe they use O rings for that, but they do. Both O rings were swollen to the point they would not go in the groove. I have made gaskets for both sides of the carb tray and it runs very smoothly now, but not perfect. My next thing to investigate is the fuel pressure regulation. I purchased the differential fuel pressure sender from UMA at OSH and just have it now installed. On the ground it reads about 3.5 psi above airbox pressure. That is right EXCEPT when both pumps are on, it reads close to 6 PSI. Tomorrow morning I will do a flight to see what readings I am getting. It is supposed to maintain the fuel pressure 3.5 psi above airbox pressure, with acceptable ranges of 2 to 5 psid. If the pressure it too high, the carb bowls can overflow and cause rich running and worse. Before anyone asks, the line back to the tank is perfectly clear 3/8 inch aluminum line all the way back. There is no restriction. I get close to 40 gph circulating around the loop. The engine has never had what I would call a satisfying run-up, but it is within limits, so I fly. More progress, one day at a time. Dave A227 Mini U2 240 TT
