Try the rearward face. It confused me, hence a bit of filling required to
repair a cut in the rong place.
Regards
Paul
BTW if you haven't got there yet, you may find it easier to assemble the
exhaust system before fitting any of it to the engine. That way you can
use the down pipes as levers to stretch the springs. I wasted a lot of
time seeing how far the springs would go each time they slipped from my
grasp. The record so far is.....
Also check that all four pipe sockets have anti-seize compond in them
before you assemble them. 2 of mine had been missed.

Do I open up the rearward or front facing sections of the cooling gills on
the
top cowling?
Manual says open up the 'flat' surface.
It does not take much to confuse me and both surfaces are curved!
Thanks

Hi! William and all.
I appreciate that Neville is a splendid blonde ferret and very willing
and quick with it too and probably cheap but he still has to charge
...the last time I was down the Europa empennage with my arms over my
head for too long a period with no one around I took severe chest muscle
cramps and really had a big scare getting out. THAT WAS NO JOKE .
With the cable stay fix there's no need to visit this problem so I can't
for the life of me see the necessity of doing away with the cables and
turnbuckles. Builder input to these problems should have more respect.
(No doubt all will have a laugh at my expense but I have a thick skin
anyway.)
I feel that builders should only venture in there with some assistance
stood by anyway. Ignore this at your peril.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Tie one ankle to the joystick and arrange yourself so you can
bend a knee. Sooner rather than later you should be able to grab the rope

To the elderly, perhaps portly and less agile of us,
I have found someone who will come to our rescue. He is not exactly thin,
he is not exactly long, he is younger, he more agile and most importantly,
he is very willing to crawl down the tail end of our Europas to fit Mod 70.
"Who is he?" I hear you ask; well he is our one and only NEV.
Seriously though, Nev is setting up a production line at Wombleton, with all
the necessary cushions, special tools and know-how to whip your old ones out
(balance arms) and put the new ones in. For those in need, may I suggest
you call him on 01751 432850, or 07951141890.
Good luck and best wishes,
William

Alternatively:
1. Draw line around outside of fuselage just forward of the mass-balance
stops.
2. Draw 4 lines perpendicular to the line in 1 (i.e. longitudinally along
the aircraft), one on top, one below and one either side
3. Cut aircraft in half around the line drawn in 1
4. Fit Mod 70 at your ease
5. Bond fuselage halves back together using the lines drawn in 2 as guides
to re-align the two halves
6. Go flying again
I dont understand what all the fuss about going down the back is about -
this procedure should obviate it very nicely :-)

In regards to the lack of enthusiasm for venturing back to the three bolts
in the tail; I have enlisted the services of my grandson, age 13, weight 92
pounds, to assist me. It is costing me the grand total of another 2 hour
ride in "Wile E Coyote". I might suggest that many of you "senior pilots"
could also work out this kind of arrangement.
In fact, Brennon (my grandson) has suggested he needs some cash and would be
available for hirer.

Jeremy,
Give the cable end a brief buffing on your grinder wheel at an angle.
That'll clean it up so it'll slip right through the hardware.

Bob,
I, for one, will not be getting rid of the cables, due to having turnbuckles
fitted already. I will get a local engineer to weld some ears on the new
TP18 for the cable ends to attach and fit them as required. May also fit the
tufnol strip as well, not sure. Got my 9 year old son Angus practicing the
manoeuvre already as I await the MOD in the mail. I had a look at the TP18
yesterday to check for any stress and looked quiet normal. Checked also the
cables and they were both tight and certainly keeps the arm from any lateral
movement.
Hope this is all worth it?
Cheers,
Tim

Cheers,
All thgose grinding wheels and cutoff appliances seem like a lot
of trouble. I used masking tape around the wire, centred about the expected
cut. Then, thanks to advice from an old hand in the trade, gave it a quick
whack with a small hammer and a 2-inch chisel against pig-iron. It then slid
conveniently into the hardware and peeled the tape since it would be covered
by transparent heatshrink ( to honour the inspector) and then a second
coloured heatshrink for coding and finish. Not an electric tool in sight.
Happy landings,
Ferg

| Jeremy,
|
|
| Give the cable end a brief buffing on your grinder wheel at an angle.
| That'll clean it up so it'll slip right through the hardware.

| Subject: | rear cylinders HOT on my 914 |
--> Europa-List message posted by: Paul Boulet <possibletodo@yahoo.com>
Hi All;
I've put ten hours on my Europa to date and seem to be
getting pretty high EGT readings on the rear 2
cylinders- generally running 200-240 degrees hotter
than the front two. I searched the archives to see if
this issue had been addressed before and can't seem to
find any info hence hoping others might give me some
insight.
Steve Hagar was kind enough to give me this info:
"For hot rear cylinders part of the fix is to
partially block off the gill vents on the rear side
of the upper cowling. The idea is to not have the air
rushing out those holes but down over the cylinders in
the rear and
out the bottom. Along with that is to make a cover to
go over the top of the motor mount weldment at the
rear of the engine. You want the air forced down over
the cylinders. You don't want it to go to the back of
the
engine compartment and go rushing out the bottom
through that motor mount opening. Dave Deford and
Terry Seaver up outside of Livermore have been through
this."
Any other thoughts/opinions appreciated. By the way,
the day was a balmy 75 degrees F when I was test
flying. Thanks!
