    Subject: Brass to aluminum
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Rob Housman" <robh@hyperion-ef.us> In order for corrosion to result from two dissimilar metals in contact there must also be a conductive medium, also called an electrolyte, present in contact with both metals. Avgas and mogas are non-ionic liquids that are non-conductive. Ergo, no corrosion will result in your example. That said, there is a small (with emphasis on small) risk that there may be atmospheric conditions conducive to corrosion, and this is especially true if your aircraft is parked for an extended period near salt water where there will be airborne salt spray, which we all know is a corrosive medium. In the case of brass and aluminum it will be the aluminum that gets damaged from corrosion.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fred R. Klein" <fklein@orcasonline.com> Hi SteveD, In reviewing your build/website photos, I notice you've installed a capacitance fuel probe as well as the std sight gauge; I've read that a number of flyers report that the sight gauge is useless. Were you to do this over again, would you omit the sight gauge entirely? Can you tell me the model # and source for the capacitance fuel probe and companion gauge? Fred A194

    2.60 REPLY_TO_EMPTY Reply-To: is empty --> Europa-List message posted by: "SteveD" <Post2Forum@comcast.net> I purchased the capacitance fuel gauge from europa. The Vendor is Princeton Electronics Inc. 616 281-5193 ask for Todd Stenhouwer. The Gauge glass is from: http://home.comcast.net/~nostromo56/ I was told there is a requirement to be able to visually check fuel level prior to flight. With the europa you can't look down the filler. If I had to do it again I think I would go with the capacitance and the gauge between the seat. That one is accurate until the saddle.

Am I correct in understanding that the "gauge" you mention is a reference to the tubular sight guage?..that you would mount in vertical between the seat backs?..and connect it to the tank on the main tank side of the saddle dividing the main from the reserve? Sorry for my ignorance, and thank you for the source for the capacitance probe & gauge!

The gauge is lighted, and reads from full to the level where the tank splits. Its is more accurate then the foot-well gauges and less sensitive to pitch due to it's proximity to the tank.

    Subject: Re: Europa - fuel gauges
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Garry" <garrys@tampabay.rr.com> I got my trigear signed off by the FAA 5 years ago, without a sight gauge or any visual means of checking fuel level. Perhaps the inspector just overlooked it........I can't say whether or not it's a requirement. I do have a capacitance gauge, but I don't trust it. I simply fly by computing my fuel burn in GPH against the hours flown. It's very accurate.

    Subject: Re: Europa - fuel gauges
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net> Fred, I built a fuel gauge designed by Tony K. It has a 0 ~ 1" pressure transducer that sits in he lowest point in the fuel system. A microprocessor drives either a 10 segment bar display, or if you wish, an analogue display. Tony has the circuit details on his WEB site and will burn a pair of micro processors for you. I have about 160 hours on the aircraft and it works fine, but to be honest I primarily use the fuel totalizer built into my EIS. I do not have any sight gauge at all. Paul

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Cliff Shaw" <flyinggpa@comcast.net> Gerry I agree. My inspector did not look at much more than the name plate. And on it he said I put too much information, go figure. If I start out with a full load of fuel and a cup of coffee, my bladder tells me when to land. The Rocky Mountain Engine Monitor does an even better job. Fuel burn and gallons remaining. I have it calibrated to right on. I do a guestaament on the amount of fuel to top off, and come very close.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Cliff Shaw" <flyinggpa@comcast.net> This past week I received in the mail (post) a large envelop from the Europa Club. In it was the December copy of THE EUROPA FLYER . I was very surprised. I have now read every article, story, and advertisement. I am very impressed. With out a doughty in my mind this is the best "news letter" I have ever had. Thanks to the "club" for sending us all a copy. I have singed up with Roland memsec@europaclub.org.uk so I will not miss out on another copy of this outstanding news letter. Thanks again for sharing your publication with all of us.

    Subject: Riveting aileron push tube
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@yahoo.com> When riveting the W17 end caps inside the aileron push tube, the figure in the manual shows three rivets - top, bottom and side. From symmetry arguments, I am assuming there is a fourth rivet on the other side of the tube not shown on the diagram. Can anyone verify that? I looked at others website construction logs, but could not get clear picture of this step. Thanks for any help! ===== Andrew Sarangan http://www.geocities.com/asarangan

    Subject: RE: NONONO
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "SteveD" <Post2Forum@comcast.net> (by way of Matt Dralle <nospam@matronics.com>) Cliff, I've looked through the gallery and I've found another mod I'd like to bring up. What is the wing loading of an Acme sidewinder missile? According to Janes they're 188 pounds each and cost $84,000. (17 in the current market). Don't you think the exhaust plume is going to melt the fiberglass? What's the CG with one missile deployed? Is the Coyote ( EATIBUS ANYTHINGUS ) licensed to be pilot in command? What, oh what were you thinking..... : ) Steved ---------------- This Email contains Photos or Attachments located at the following link: http://www.europaowners.org/viewtopic.php?p=4690#4690 ---------------- Visit EuropaOwnersForum http://www.europaowners.org/
