--> Europa-List message posted by: "Peter Grant" <peter@us-eurolink.co.uk>
I'd just like to add to Dave's comments about the Europa Flyer magazine.
I am, as he said, the new Editor (they say in the army 'never volunteer for
anything' and they could be right!). I am also brand new to the Europa
Club, being an owner and flyer but not a builder. So, I come in with a view
uncomplicated by anything from the past, real or imagined.
Point of this message is to assure ALL Europa builders and owners that this
Club exists to serve ALL of them, whatever their geographic or other
distribution. Please, any or all of you, send your stories, pictures,
letters etc to me, and I will do my best to make sure that we give the
appearance of representing everyone, as well as really so doing! And, you
can be sure that the Club really does try to represent everyone. Without
the input from international Club members, the magazine will be a much
poorer read.
Regards
Peter Grant

I've just had a look and of the 162 non-UK Members, 55 of those are now
from the USA. And the only reason the Club is 'UK-centric'... is because we

Yes John, I was interested in your trip down the East Coast to Florida a

Klass,
The main reason is because the rubber tube supplied with the Europa kit
allowed fuel to weep through and gave many aircraft a heavy fuel smell. Now people
use the aluminum tube and cut two pieces of the rubber tube to act as a splice
from the filler port to the aluminum tube then from the aluminum tube to the
tank.

Klaas
The main reason for the aluminium filler pipe is to stop the fuel smell
which results from using the inferior rubber hose.

- " Now people

- while others have substituted the rubber tube by (presumably) better quality
tube (special order at automotive supply store, even comes with copper grounding
cable, but regret I do not know the material), which - if it works - also avoids
possible seeping through the splices between the moulded filler and the
alu and between the alu and the tank.

>I will even rejoin the club, UK-centric as it is<
The club might appear UK-centric because there is little support and
input from abroad. How many articles for the magazine come from outside
the UK? I would think about 10% at best. If you want a more
international club it is best achieved by contribution. I am sure that
our new editor would welcome articles from all corners of the globe.
There are also other ways that we could have a more united and
international club. Like the factory had a USA office we could look at
including a USA representative on the club committee. A successful club
needs people who think about what they can do for the club as well as
what can it do for them. I know that from within the committee, a lot of
time consuming unpaid work is done. If this is not providing the service
you would like then get involved and get it changed. Provided your
opinions are shared by others progress can be made.
Now that it looks like we have past the lowest point in the Europa's
history so far, let us all work together whether in the club, on the
forum or in any other capacity to ensure that this great little aircraft
has the support it deserves.
About 10 years ago Michael Burke (a TV presenter in both the UK and the
USA) did a series of programmes called 'Connections' looking at how the
best inventions were achieved by technologies coming together at a
critical point in time. In a minor way I believe that the Europa could
be considered to be one of these. The combination of composite
construction (from Rutan), modern engine technology (from Rotax),
exceptional aerodynamic expertise (from Don Dykins) and many areas of
development in electronics and computers enabled Ivan Shaw to design
such an outstanding aircraft. There are very few aircraft that can
take-off from grass strips, carry 520lb payload for over 4 hours at
120kts whilst only burning 15 litres/hr. This started as a concept about
15 years ago and whilst the product has been developed, the original
design still stands up against newer machines. I my opinion there is
still no better aircraft for this area of the kit built market.
I will get off my soap box now.
Regards
Nigel Charles

Dear Europa Pilots,
Every two years will be the exhibition Airborne at Stadtlohn-Vreden, former
known as Take-Off.
Two years ago we have had an exhibition stand there and the two company
demonstrators
(with G-KITZ/Keith Wilson and G-GBXS/Mark Waite).
The KITZ was beside our exhibition stand and the GBXS was in the flight-line
for demoflies.
It was a great exhibition.
This time, due to the special situation, we will go again, but together with
the OUV (under the umbrella of OUV), but still we will have info packs with
us.
It would be great, when so many pilots as possible could make it for a
fly-in.
Stadtlohn-Vreden is only just behind the dutch border and easy to reach.
It's only worth to come, as also a lot of other exhibitors will be there and
airshows / demoflies are going on the hole days.
More info you can get from: www.flugplatz-stadtlohn.de
Would like to welcome you,
I remain with best regards

"Now that it looks like we have past the lowest point in the Europa's
history so far, let us all work together whether in the club, on the forum
or in any other capacity to ensure that this great little aircraft has the
support it deserves."
If folks don't mind, I'd like to expand on Nigel's point quoted above with
some of my own thoughts.
I genuinely believe we are at a turning point for this little aircraft type.
Consider the following:
1) We have a new Factory operation that everyone believes can do the job
properly to the benefit of fliers, builders and newcomers to our community
2) Without wanting to pre-empt things, there is a realistic opportunity to
get Sport Plane wings for the US market, glider wings for the European
market, a Factory taildragger version for all markets, etc.
3) In the UK we have three Europa folks on the PFA's Executive Committee who
can ensure that the scope for using these wonderful planes to their fullest
is created over here
4) We have massive change going on in European aviation regulation - which
could lead to significant new capabilities over here to match the freedoms
our North American friends already have
5) From talking to a few folks, I believe there is now a much better
understanding around the world of the Club, its strengths, what it can do
and has done for the Europa community, and what is needed to benefit more
folks outside the UK
6) I see on this Forum a great willingness for everyone to pull together for
the benefit of all
The sooner I can get G-EZZA in the air and start having some of this fun,
the better! :-)
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi all
It is not just Europa builders in the states that have come unstuck with
EMIL - we also ordered and paid for an Airmaster prop for a triGear here -
with the sane result - I think you 're very polite when you say it borders
on theft - it was out and out Fraud.

Subject: Fly-In Airborne 2004 at Stadtlohn-Vreden / Germany 24.-26.09.04
Dear Europa Pilots,
Every two years will be the exhibition Airborne at Stadtlohn-Vreden, former
known as Take-Off.
Two years ago we have had an exhibition stand there and the two company
demonstrators
(with G-KITZ/Keith Wilson and G-GBXS/Mark Waite).
The KITZ was beside our exhibition stand and the GBXS was in the flight-line
for demoflies.
It was a great exhibition.
This time, due to the special situation, we will go again, but together with
the OUV (under the umbrella of OUV), but still we will have info packs with
us.
It would be great, when so many pilots as possible could make it for a
fly-in.
Stadtlohn-Vreden is only just behind the dutch border and easy to reach.
It's only worth to come, as also a lot of other exhibitors will be there and
airshows / demoflies are going on the hole days.
More info you can get from: www.flugplatz-stadtlohn.de
Would like to welcome you,
I remain with best regards
Bruno Reith / kit 379 Monowheel XS with Brabus engine, ready springtime 05

Dear Peter,
The date of the Airborne is 24. - 26.09.2004.
Kind Regards,
Bruno

I've been doing some light reading ( yawn) on the US bankruptcy laws, section 304,
that concerns US creditors of a foreign company doing business in the US.
I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that the assets held in the US by the former
Europa company (EMIL) could be liquidated and used to satisfy creditor debts
(in part), also in the US. I understand that the New Europa company has
not purchased the US assets and therefore, I would guess, Redman Nichols somehow
has to deal with this section of US law. Does anybody know more about this?
Has anyone heard what is going on in the US regarding creditor debt?

OK Jos,
maybe we both are right:
My Cessna lives in wintertime in the warm
hangar and so I can take water samples and I do
not certainly add any antifreeze. Also, it is strictly
forbidden to add any additives according my
cars instruction manual (both diesel and petrol).
Antifreeze and other additives can cause harm
for fuel injection systems. Many people think
they are just historical relic and pure business.
But, if you have a carburettor in your car
or you have to keep your plane outside in winter time,
maybe it is better choice to add some magic
additives to petrol/diesel.You know it better.
We live here in south but as you well know
we still can have one or two month -30C.
W/o additives and still flying and driving.
Maybe next time I will ask my wife to add
some special additives to your coffee, OK? ;))

Hello all,
I am planning to change my Warp Drive ground adjustable prop for an in flight adjustable
or possibly a constant speed prop.
According to the Europa Club list of flying Europas, there are 43 of you flying
with the Airmaster AP332 and 31 with the Arplast PV50.
I would like to know how happy you are with those props.
My criteria are : reliability/safety, performance, maintenance requirements.
Is the Arplast smoother than the Airmaster ?
What about erosion of the blade when flying the Arplast in rain ?
Please mention your prop flight time.
Looking fwd receiving 74 answers !

As one of those Airmaster/912S owners I can say that it is great, but I
haven't used the Airplast.
The Airplast I believe is quite skinnily built whereas the Airmaster is more
substantial.
On the other hand I have Rotax Tacho, Manifold pressure gauge and CS
propellor control unit - each is a 2 1/4 inch gauge. All three are combined
into one gauge for the CS (VP ?) Arplast.
If you are buying a 912S make sure you get the HD starter. I say this
because after 97 hours I need a new sprag clutch :-(
Was this answer #1 ?

Hello Remi,
I should say up-front that I have a commercial interest as I
manufacture the constant speed controller that is used with the
Arplast PV50 (www.smartavionics.com). However, that doesn't stop me
having an opinion on the PV50!
> I would like to know how happy you are with those props.
Overall, I am very happy with the PV50.
> My criteria are : reliability/safety, performance, maintenance
> requirements.
As far as I am aware, there are no safety issues with the PV50. The
only reliability issue that I know of is that some people have had to
replace the PV50 pitch change motor because it failed.
Performance is certainly very good with my 912. Maintenance
requirements are minimal (grease leadscrew once in a while).
> Is the Arplast smoother than the Airmaster ?
I have never been in an aircraft fitted with an Airmaster so I can't
compare directly but I used to have a Warp Drive fixed pitch prop and
I would say that the Arplast is definitely smoother than the Warp
drive.
> What about erosion of the blade when flying the Arplast in rain ?
This touches on the PV50s weakest area which is that it has no leading
edge protection. I have not had any problems with rain erosion but
stones are a big problem. I have therefore fitted leading edge
protection tape to my propeller to help stop the dings.
> Please mention your prop flight time.
About 100 hours on this prop and probably similar on a previous PV50
that I was careless enough to break!
In terms of value for money, I don't think there is much of a
contest. Unless you need the fully-feathering ability of the
Airmaster, the PV50/CSC-1 combination provides more features at a
lower cost and lower weight.
I hope this is useful,
Mark
PS To save David Joyce the effort, I should mention that the Woodcomp
(Kremen) is a very good alternative that deserves serious
consideration. Again, much better value than the Airmaster.

Hi Remi,
We have a mono-wheel XS with Rotax 912S that has been flying about
3 years. We first flew with the two blade Whirlwind prop with hydraulic
constant speed control. It worked well most of the time, but
occasionally had trouble with bad vibration under certain throttle/speed
conditions. We eventually changed it out for the Airmaster. We later
found that the vibrations with the Whirlwind prop were not the prop's
fault, but its response to rough running of the engine due to vapor
lock. The hydraulic controller had a much faster response time (than
the electric units) which added to the vibration caused by the rough motor.
The Airmaster prop is fairly smooth, but as a 3 blade prop, not
noticeably smoother than the 2 blade Whirlwind was. The Airmaster gives
about the same cruise speed and climb rate as the Whirlwind did. The
Airmaster makes a better air brake when the throttle is closed, which
can be an advantage in decents, but not in a power off glide, unless you
feather it. The Airmaster provides poorer cooling on the ground and in
the climb than the Whirlwind did (less effective prop wash through the
radiators).
For a while, we had some difficulties with the Airmaster prop
giving us roughness under certain conditions. This turned out to be
poor matching of blade incidence, which was eventually cured by
returning the blades to the factory, where they were repaired.
regards,
Terry Seaver

Hi All!
I got today my battery,
which is Hawker/EnerSys Odyssey
PC925 (HCA 925A, CCA380A!).
I am not sure yet the final location
(under the baggage bay or fwf).
Those of you who know or can
measure: what is the natural storage
space available for battery fwf installation?
Size of my battery:
169x179x128mm3
(6,64x7,05x5,04in3)
Any comments? Room enough?

Have 260 hours on the Airmaster. Have had good support from NZ and by John
in Lakeland(last year). Reliable and simple operation. Flying off grass
strip and no erosion of blades. Maintenance is simple, just annual
inspection of hub lubrication. Performance is good, Only prop I have used
so nothing to compare it to on my plane.

of the 238 hrs total time. We fly at 5100 rpm in cruise, which gives us 140
knots in level flight. Vibrations were only encountered early on with the
original ground adjustable Warp Drive and turned out to be caused by a
wobbly spinner. In August/Sept. of last year we flew from the Pacific Coast
in British Columbia to Nova Scotia on the Atlantic and back, a total of
10,000 km, with never a problem. Fuel consumption on this trip averaged 20L
an hour, which means of course, that for fuel efficiency one must retard the
throttle. Thomas Scherer would be the expert for this, since he flew nearly
20 hrs non-stop from the Aleutians to Japan with the Airmaster prop.
cruising at 4000 rpm and 100 knots.
I particularly like the braking effect in the circuit with the prop. set at
fine pitch. I neglected to do this once or twice and the difference was very
obvious. Rain has no effect on the blades. Maintenance is easy, requiring
dismantling, cleaning and re-greasing of the hub and blades every 50 hrs .
Everybody having seen the internal workings of the Airmaster is very
impressed by the quality of the product. The price is higher than most, but
you get what you pay for, like with most things. I would recommend it.

All,
Is there anybody out there who has experience with the Stratomaster
Electronic Artificial Horizon either with or without its Electronic
Compass companion?
If so, opinions sought please.
For those not familiar with these instruments, have a look at

Remi,
I have had an Airmaster AP308 on my Europa XS - Rotax 914 from new.
Over 210 hrs of faultless operation.
It is simple to use in operation and maintenance is at 100 hrs or with
annual.
Have flown a fair bit in rain with no effect at all on the blades.
Prop is smooth but I cannot compare with others as this is all I have had.
Had a prop strike early on and received excellent support from Airmaster for
the repair.
On the field I fly from there are two other planes with Airmaster AP332
props. A 912 powered Pulsar and 912 powered Storm. Both were conversions
from fixed pitch with a dramatic improvement in performance.
Yes a bit expensive but it works!!
