unrecognisable), not that other version where an aeroplane has been
redefined!

Dave,
Not sure whether you are joking or not!
I wonder how your friend is going to calibrate his compass to read
accurately with a powerful rare earth magnet in proximity.
Presumably he'll remove it before he tries?

Hi Paul,
I am 6'5" so I opted for the hi-top mod which gives 2-3"
extra headroom, I find the plane very comfortable.

Hi Paul
I am the same height as Ivan, who designed the plane for himself.
However, I have a long spine and my head felt uncomfortably close to the
glass in G-KITZ and the cockpit mockup. I have opted for a high top and
will feed back how it feels in, oh, about 2 years time.
Difficult to measure exactly. I'm 6ft standing. Sitting bolt upright I'm
about 3ft 4in (102cm) tall.

Its not the size that matter but where it is. My brother - law flies P2
with me and although only 6' 0" tall has to remove all cusions and sit
on the seat base to clear the door glass. He's got short legs and a long
body.
Flying a Europa size can matter.

Sven,
You may know that yours is not the first door separation in
flight. I believe it too did no damage in departing. I have substituted SS
hinges for Alu ones but have not strengthened the structure. It is my
assumption if my door separates, it will tear out the bolts and I will have
to strengthen structure THEN.
I may not be right, but it is worth considering whether you want
a clean separation, or whether open attached door will affect flight
control.
Like some others, I have opted for microswitch sensing of aft
locking bolts (as I can see forward ones) and aft pull-in handle. I have
diagrams of the installation of m/s details, including sliding covers and
part numbers etc. if you wish.
Cheers, Ferg

Paul, I am 6' 2" and fit comfortably. Basically you want to fly it with your
head close to the canopy for optimum forward visibility, so you make your
seat cushion thick enough to achieve that. My cushion system is thicker
than I feel necessary for reasonable comfort and vertical impact absorption.
So I suspect that something like 6' 4" would be possible. Regards David

For anyone interested in the door strut mod it is Factory Mod Number 66.
You will find it on www.europa-aircraft.co.uk under "technical" then Mod 66.
Double click and you will get a PDF of the fitting instructions.
You can buy the factory kit of part but the disadvantage of then is that the
new pivot is on a moulding which you 420 onto the door. This makes the
frame thicker (which has the advantage of stiffening it) but gives problems
with the door seals.
The other option is to make your own brackets, set then into the existing
door structure and the glass over the frame to reinforce it. You need to be
precise in the positioning of the bracket.
Having done it both ways now (G-IANI factory kit) and (G-IRON DIY version) I
like the DIY version best. It is not a job for you unless you are confident
about your accuracy and the quality of your glass work.
If anyone is interested in the DIY version I can make some photos available.

Don't panic, Ian - I made him take them off carefully. And I got him to
score around them first so you know where they go when you put them back on.
Craig was lucky - he nearly didn't manage to do the scoring, some trumped up
security guard tried to arrest him for walking round with that crowbar he
sharpened! A total Jobs Worth if you ask me!
But yes, G-IANI was generating a lot of interest, and there are a bunch of
folks out there who want to join our Europa community! :-)

For the bench test, be sure that the pedals rotate smoothly throughout a
normal range of movement on the same axis. Mine insitu bind a bit in the
bushes because the combined pedals are not completely on the same axis
throughout the combined length. On the bench you should be able to distort
the "high point" down with even pressure to get a co-incident axis throughout.

Having "been there, done that", I can vouch that when the door departs the
aircraft it does not significantly affect the flight characteristics. Just
scares the daylights out of you. I know of one famous Europa pilot who
shall go unnamed, who flew a couple of hundred miles after his door
departed.

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net>
Hi all,
I posted a similar message on the Aeroelectric board. I am having intermittent
problems with my electric trim. Sometimes when I need to slow and trim the aircraft
for landing the trim motor won't actuate. I initially suspected the down
trim button, but once I had it not wanting to respond to an "UP" button press
as well.
I have wriggled wires, plugs and un plugged terminations and driven the servo to
the end stops but I haven't been able to duplicate the problem on the ground.
I am starting to suspect the servo and I am thinking it might be having trouble
reversing direction with air loads.
I'd be interested in anyone's ideas for trouble shooting. I have a 4 way trim switch
with a Ray Allen relay deck driving an older MAC servo unit.
One last question, can any one tell me the new part number for the servo unit.
Thanks, Paul

Hi! Paul
I can confirm that I have a similar problem (or I'm hoping I HAD!)
For some time I have had an intermittent similar problem. The trim will
always go nose up no problem but should I go a LED bar too far it won't
reverse until I take it full nose up (huge control stick forces) then it
usually but sometimes only after about a minute will return. I suspected
the servo motor which since my Kit No. is 337 I guess will be the old
one. I had lots of written exchanges with the Ray Allen Co. resulting in
my sending it back for check over since they had concluded that an "end
or limiter switch wasn't allowing the reversing of the motor. I
returned it to them unfortunately they had a bad day when they received
it and didn't link my motor with my communications but checked it out
and found no fault.
I refitted it and when plugging my connectors at the panel back together
I discovered an internally broken or badly crimped wire.
I remade the wire connection and "hey presto". After two years it seemed
sorted!
However since then the problem has again returned and I have not been
able to get it to repeat on demand. The last time I flew I did my
pre-flight checks and I trimmed up a couple of LED bars and it wouldn't
return, pulled off the ramp and sat operating both the control on the
stick and the one on the panel. After about 10 minutes of multiple
switching it came back to life. I flew my mission ensuring not to trim
too far nose up, and on the return leg repeatedly trimmed nose up then
nose down without problem.
I have again checked all my connectors and stood for an hour trying to
reproduce the problem to no avail. I'm wondering if it is the relay
deck?
If you manage to isolate your problem would you be good enough to let me
know?
Best regards

Hi all,
I posted a similar message on the Aeroelectric board. I am having
intermittent problems with my electric trim. Sometimes when I need to
slow and trim the aircraft for landing the trim motor won't actuate. I
initially suspected the down trim button, but once I had it not wanting
to respond to an "UP" button press as well.
I have wriggled wires, plugs and un plugged terminations and driven the
servo to the end stops but I haven't been able to duplicate the problem
on the ground. I am starting to suspect the servo and I am thinking it
might be having trouble reversing direction with air loads.
I'd be interested in anyone's ideas for trouble shooting. I have a 4 way
trim switch with a Ray Allen relay deck driving an older MAC servo unit.
One last question, can any one tell me the new part number for the servo
unit.
Thanks, Paul
