I am getting close to installing my cockpit module and I was wondering if there
are recommended things to do beyond what the manual describes prior to installation.
Thanks,

On the trigear, later access to the tunnel to route and secure things,
like wires, battery cables and fuel lines, will be limited! Even with
a bottom access panel -- mine is 10" x 8", and metal clad on the
inside for transponder antenna ground plane. Before installing the
module, I placed a bunch of stud mounting pads on the fuse bottom.
They're just small chunks of 1/4" wood, chamfered on the edges, to
secure an AN-3 bolt sitting on its head. Bonded and further secured
with 2 layers glass.
An (unaerodynamic) alternative is just later drill holes in the fuse
bottom, for a bolt to secure cable clamps. But they'll be problematic
in affixing the hardware. With the bonded stud arrangement, a cable
clamp and nut can be installed one-handed, reaching into the tunnel.
I didn't plan too well where and how many of these studs should be
located, but luckily close enough to be ahead of the game.
Fabricating said access panel is easier before module install. Since
the glass in this area was not foam sandwich, I first made it into
foam sandwich. Don't like adding weight, but this enables countersink
screws to be used to secure the access panel if you fiddle with adding
flox around the screw holes to be able to cut countersinks.
If you have a 914, consider planning it so that the fuel pumps and
filters are located within easy access through this access panel. The
circuitous factory arrangement stumped me as to its rationale.
Reg,
Fred F.

Hello to all.
My Europa is near to needing to be transported for weighing, a little paint
touch up and Decals.
A few weeks later it=B9s then up to Kemble for final inspection and the paper
chase exercise!
Maybe even first flight!....... Some may say about time.
Is anyone in the position to rent me a Trailer for a XS TRIGEAR for short
periods of time for above listed journeys which at maximum are 30 miles?
Estimated dates would be around towards end of April.
Regards
Gerry

Thanks Fred. I was just about to post the same question.

Any Europa going to Sunn Fun ? I will be there on April 12 and 13 and will be happy
to meet with other Europa owners. I will spend the following week-end (April
16-17 ) in Phoenix, AZ. I would appreciate to talk Europa with those of you
who are flying/building in the Phoenix area. Please let me know if we can arrange
a meeting .

No Thanks. I've got an old Tractor I can use. Similar noise, performance not
much different!

Interesting blue pills now. Very interesting side effects!

Hi All,
What kind of fuel lines are being installed. I see alu
tube and black rubber hose.
What material and temper wall thickness are you using.
I really don't want to have to change the fuel lines
every 5 years.
it was said the crash requirements drove the rubber
tube.
what say yee

Rmi-
If you are going to Phoenix, you need to hook up with the people at
Phoenix Composites. They were doing something similar to Flite Crafters
in the Phoenix area. I don't know how many Europas they have done, but
I am sure they have a handle on who is doing what in that part of the
country.
