However, I will be surprised if you are wrong.

Hi Everyone
Firstly Happy New Year to all
Can anyone help me with advice as to which type of autopilot to buy as I
am now considering fitting one. I have a skymap III installed and an
Apollo SL30 with VOR/GS and it would be nice to have an autopilot that
linked to at least one if not both of these. I have been advised to go
for either the Navaid or Truetrak, but I have no experience or knowledge
of either ?

I'm looking at going down the Trio EZ Pilot route - the hardware is very similar
indeed to the Navaids one (which I hope is going to make the Mod approval process
easier) but, it seems to offer a whole load more features (including solid
state gyros) for not much more money.
If you would be interested in this unit, we could work on the mod approval together
and maybe rival the hold that the Navaids unit seems to have.
if you want to discuss it off list, I'm pxr@globalnet.co.uk

What is the the source of the increase in power from 82 to 102 hp?
What is the weight of this puppy?
Fred
A194
Hi Fred,
I have had just a short phonecall with Otto Funk and can give now some extra
information:
1.) Source of Increase from 82 - 102 HP:
Another Turbocharcher and increasing of the manifold pressure.
For this Mercedes made stronger crankshaft bearings and the valves out of
better material. The outer size of the engine is the same to the 82 HP
2.) Weight of this puppy
The total weight - Firewall forward including anything without cowling and
prop is 86 kg at present. They will change the generator to a lighter one and
will reduce weight on the stainless steel exhaust. Estimated weight saving
will be 3-4 kg.
Competition:
They had test flown two FK9 microlight (one with Rotax 912S / one with 82 hp
smart) and worked out, that the power of the 912S was less (beginning at
500-600 mtr) than the smart engine.
News:
Now they have installed the 60 hp turbocharched smart diesel into a Silence
single seater, normally equipped with the Jabiru 2200.
The weight of the smart diesel (firewall foreward as before) is about 96-98
kg.
For more info, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Kind Regards,
Bruno

TruTracks seem to be going down well, too. I have one in G-EZZA, and I'm
aware of a few now being installed in the UK. Feedback is that that servos
are rather higher quality than the Navaid ones - apparently there have been
problems in the past in the area.
I particularly like the point that you can trade in your TruTrack head at
any point for a higher-level model - and just pay the difference. SO I could
trade in my alt-hold model for a VS model if I found a need.
Cheers,
Jeremy

To all,
Heed with earnest Nev's advice about automobile conversions. Having been a part
of numerous (more than 10) auto conversions on both a personal and professional
level, any savings (typically less than 10%) over a proven design is mitigated
by the fact that re-engineering (engine mount, cowling, propeller, cooling
system, redundancy, etc.) typically adds a minimum of 300% to the firewall forward
process, and usually results in a proven design being used in the end. Don't
forget, you are going to be up in the air when you are trusting the engine
to work and there's no place to pull over as in a car when things go wrong.
Just my 2 cents (US) worth.

Rob Huntington

Subject: | Flap position warning |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Richard Iddon" <riddon@sent.com>
Further to my recent post below, I have now found and installed a
suitable 'flaps not up' warner.
I used an auto interior light switch, the type that fits in the hinge
side of the door and switches the lights on when you open the door.
Bought from my local car accessory shop for about 1. I mounted this in
the aft bulkhead of the well in the baggage bay for the main gear
supports of my tri-gear. It is in such a position that the flap tube
depresses the button and switches the warning light off when it is in
the fully up position. Took a wire to the panel and connected it to a
Europa supplied red l.e.d. (2.50) which I positioned just above the
flap breaker which in my layout is also close to the flap switch.
Now, red light on, flaps not up, red light off, flaps up. Cheap, simple,
effective and works a treat. (Might be a bit more difficult in a mono
where the well is exposed and used for storage).

Subject: Europa-List: Flap position warning
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Richard Iddon" <riddon@sent.com>
I have a bad habit when things get a little busy, of forgetting to raise
my flaps occasionally after take off. I wondered if anyone had fitted a
'flap not up' indicator, perhaps a light or similar.
I have considered a momentary switch, normally closed, mounted adjacent
to the flap tube and depressed (to switch the light off) when the flaps
were fully up. This would illuminate an indicator light on the panel
whenever the flaps were not fully up but so far haven't been able to
find something suitable.
Any other idea's?

The cynic in me wants to reply: "Because you haven't paid thousands of

different to the certified one."
Probably not entirely accurate, but possibly not entirely inaccurate,

Answer to Fred's questions:
<<What is the weight of this puppy?>>
Material on the web site says installed weight of 11lbs more than a 912S.
<<What is the source of the increase in power from 82 to 102 hp?>>
Easy; turn up the boost (until it goes 'pop')!

Hi,
I am representing Randolph the brown nosed Reindeer, he is very distressed
that Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer gets all the attention, but he,[ Randolph

Randolph the brown nosed Reindeer is in the second row of Reindeers, in
Santa's Sliegh, on the port side, directly behind Rudolph.
He has asked me to tell everyone that he can accelerate as fast as Rudolph.
He has asked me to tell that he can go as fast as Rudolph.
He has asked me to tell that he can go as far as Rudolph.
However, he does admit that he can not stop as rapidly as

Hi! Neville.
Happy New Year.
The only thing to do with Europa that was brown was KW's side kicks

BTW Wish you would be truthful on the seasonal issue.
I understood they were shot by a flight tester of Santa doing an "engine
out test"!
Neither of them can talk anymore I just helped to eat them, and brought
some back for our UK christening together with some dried for chewing.

Hi,
I am representing Randolph the brown nosed Reindeer, he is very
distressed
that Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer gets all the attention, but he,[
Randolph
the brown nosed Reindeer] never gets a mention,
Randolph the brown nosed Reindeer is in the second row of Reindeers, in
Santa's Sliegh, on the port side, directly behind Rudolph.
He has asked me to tell everyone that he can accelerate as fast as
Rudolph.
He has asked me to tell that he can go as fast as Rudolph.
He has asked me to tell that he can go as far as Rudolph.
However, he does admit that he can not stop as rapidly as
Rudolph.............................

Subject: | [PLEASE READ NOW] - Addressing Upgrade At Matronics TONIGHT! |
--> Europa-List message posted by: dralle@matronics.com (Matt Dralle)
Dear Listers,
Tonight, Friday 1/7/2005 at 7pm PDT, I will be working with my Internet
Service Provider to upgrade to a larger IP subnet. I will be
re-addressing all of the machines on the network including the
Matronics Web Server and Matronics Email Server at that time. Name
Service will be updated at that time as well and most things should
work again pretty quick. There may be some bounced email for a few hours
or even a day or so as the new name-to-ip-address resolutions propagate
into the depths of the Internet.
If you have problems posting a message to one of the Lists or get a
bounced message back, please wait a couple of hours and try sending it
again. Generally, access to the web site should work within 1-hour of
the update or around 8pm PDT.
Hopefully the transition will go smoothly and you'll hardly even
notice! :-)
Thanks for your patience!

I have had a Trutrak for a year and am happy with it. Simple to install and
operate. Recently upgraded to the turn and bank indicator head which works
well.

Gidday all,
After just returning from picking up my servo from Trio for my autopilot
setup I thought I might share my experience. Firstly, Trio do not know I am
sending this to the list. The autopilot is designed by a fellow named Chuck
Busch, an experience electrical engineer working with elite suppliers to
military and NASA for over 20 years. He worked extensively on early
tracking systems for missile technology, including GPS in its infancy.
Suffice to say, he knows his stuff. In conjunction with his small team he
has built, test flown in his Long Eze, and then re-engineered the product
to achieve a very capable system. The product is evolving and they have
plans for altitude hold functionality in April this year, thereabouts. If
anyone is interested in autopilots, you should avail yourselves the
opportunity to deal with a company where they pride themselves on
communicating well with their customer base. I made over 10 enquiries
before making my choice and was always met with friendly advice. They can
be reviewed at

Good Day All,
I have started noticing more emails from people that, for one reason or
another, need some parts for their aircraft and people that have "extras" that
they would like to part with. But since we are all friends in this endeavor,
both sides want to do what's right so that the sharing makes both sides feel
good. However the sticking point is usually the price because neither party
knows how much many of these parts are worth. Is there someone out there that
has any kind of a parts list that might give a ballpark value that can be used
during these transactions? I think that it could help if this was available
for all parties concerned.

I noticed your email about noticing the pickup in parts swapping.
I also noticed that I was looking for a part, saw one listed, asked if anyone would
sell the individual parts on a mono wheel gear and got no answer.
Anyway... I digress, I've made a Buy, Sell, Trade section on the EuropaOwners Forum.
You can post what you have for sale or need there. That way you can go to
one place and see what's what. It may also help in setting market values on
parts. A sort of Europabay....
Geez I'm tired....
Chat Later,
Steved
