I have now set definite dates of Saturday 18 June to Sat 25 June for this
year's 'Tour de France'. This is later than my initial plan to allow
reasonable separation from the Baltics trip (now fixed for 3-12/6). The rest
of my previous email 'flyer' (below) stands. Anyone interested please
contact me. I am proposing to set a limit of 8 planes because of the
possibility of overwhelming the local tourist accommodation, but exceptions
could be made for those intending to camp. Start point will be Kemble for
those wanting help but old hands can make their own way into France. Details
of the chosen itinerary will follow in due course to those who have
expressed an interest.
Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Hi! All UK flyers.
I have Crossland Moor clearly shown on my charts but am unable to find
any references in Pooley's Flight Guide. If anyone has a PPR 'phone
number I'd be obliged to know it?

Hi Bob
Try looking it up under "Huddersfield" and if that doesn't work then
give me a fax No. and I'll send you a copy of the plate. In the meantime
the phone No. you want is 01484 654473/ 01484 645784. Its a nice place
to fly to, but be aware there is a quarry right at the end of the runway
and you can get a nasty shock on short finals as the wind does some
strange things around the quarry, but apart from that its ok.
Cheers
Alan

Hi Vaughn,
I've installed an Advanced Aircraft Electronics Com and transponder antennas.
Preliminary range tests using my handheld com radio on the com antenna show
it works quite well, although I've yet to fly with it. Using my sweep generator
I've also done some crude range testing on the transponder antenna and it
appears to radiate well also, although I've only been able to test it at about
3
watts ERP because that is all my sweep generator is capable of producing.
The com is installed on the rear of the tailpost and I cut about a 1" square
hole in the tailpost to allow the connector housing on the antenna to pass
through the tailpost. This way if it ever fails all I'll need to do is remove the
rudder to get at it. The transponder antenna is installed on the side of the
fuselage about 2 feet in front of the rear bulkhead on the right side. Both
antennae are vertically polarized, so they both are installed vertically. I
reduxed the transponder antenna to a piece of balsa wood, then sanded the balsa
to
fit the curve of the side of the fuselage and reduxed it in place. The com
antenna is stuck on with silicone.
I've performed sweep testing on both antennae and the VSWR is pretty flat on
the com antenna across the com band and averages 1.8 across the band. The
transponder antenna shows a VSWR of 1.2 at 1090 Mhz, so it should work well also.
The big problem with the transponder was the cable requirement for my Garmin
transponder. They require that the line loss not be more than 1.5 dB at 1090
Mhz. I found a company who would make a low loss phased cable, but it wasn't
cheap.
The quality of the Advanced Aircraft products is excellent and I originally
ordered a com antenna with a 90 degree connector on it, but later realized that
I needed the straight connector version. They swapped it out at no charge and
even paid the return shipping. Nice folks to deal with!
Regards,
John Lawton

| Subject: | 914 Instructional Video, Service manual |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
Anyone know of a Instructional Video for a Rotax 914?
I downloaded a lot of information for 914, Manuals, Bulletins, Instructions and
Letters.
Unless you read and compile everything, you will miss some very important stuff,
like the latest and greatest way to vent (Prime) the oiling system. In addition
there are things that are not exact clear, like when changing oil, do you need
to drain also the oil return Banjo? Do you need to vent (Prime) the oil system
when changing the oil?
Anyway, does anyone know of a maintenance manual for a 914 that has the majority
of real world maintenance and real world problems in a user friendly format?
thx.
Ron Parigoris

| Subject: | 914 Too lean at 115%?? |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
I have been reading on plenty of Rotax 914 technical information. I read through
changes in the airbox.
When running motor at 100% power or below, the carburetor float bowls are vented
to
the airbox in such a way that the float bowls are seeing airbox pressure. Now when
you apply over 100% power, there is a 3 way solenoid that opens and in fact plumbs
the float bowls to an area in the airbox that is receiving impact pressure, thus
applies more than airbox pressure to the float bowls and makes the motor run richer.
OK I understand and like this.
On earlier airboxes Rotax wants you to adjust the impact nipple to a position that
will not allow the motor to run too lean. They instruct you to measure the Carbon
Monoxide on all cylinders and they want you to adjust the lowest cylinder by turning
the impact nipple till you get to between 4 and 6 % CO.
I understand what they are trying to accomplish, find the lean cylinder and make
sure it is not too lean..
How do you measure in flight carbon Monoxide? Can you somehow substitute EGT for
it??
The new style impact nipple supposedly comes installed in a optimum position and
Rotax says no need to mess with it, unless you modify the intake tract. Then you
need to monitor CO and make sure nobody is too lean.
OK I have a Intercooler, that is going to modify intake tract, how do I measure?
Thx.
Sincerely
Ron Parigoris
BTW seeing just how adding more pressure over airbox richens mixture, applying
less
pressure would lean it. A controlled leak with a needle valve and EGT for higher
altitude ops?
