hi all , ive got the usual rotax 912S with the standard supplied stainless
exhaust
a spring puller and even using that tool with the springs fully compressed
they
are about 1/4" ( 5mm ) too short to reach over the tangs. europa refered me
to the manufacturer - they tell me that the springs should be fitted with
the
pipe off the cylinder head , and then lever the pipe in to place - it
sounds like
a potch . has any one any light to throw on this as leavering a pipe with
2 springs on it against alloy sounds like a nice set of gouge marks at the
end
Seve
Well I did what Rotax suggest, although I did not know that at the time.
It worked a treat.
There should be some anti-sieze lubricant in each of the sockets that the
pipes fit into. If there isn't, get hold of some Copper-slip or similar,
it is often sold to stop disc brake noise.
Regards
Paul

Hi Paul
"they tell me that the springs should be fitted with
the pipe off the cylinder head , and then lever the pipe in to place"
This approach is the only way I could get it on. But a very good
approach I found out. No gouge marks can be found.
If your is tighter then mine, a thin layer of Loctite Anti Seize may do
the trick.
Regards
Stephan

Hi Michael
I've had a quick look at the pcb file and downloaded the design software.
The board looks pretty amateurish (and doesn't include the relays to
switch
the trim motor) - I may re-lay the board myslef (using the software I use
at
work) to give a much better quality of board - the current one doesn't
have
a solder mask or ident - very necessary for those with little soldering
experience.
I'll get a price for the 'as is' board and tell people this and the
revised
version (including the relays).
We seem to be there with the quantity so, I'll give my manufacturer a
call.
Would you be after a bare board, kit or assembled unit?
Regards
Peter

Klaus and others,
I have been dealing with NSI over the last year trying in vein to get replacement
parts for the NSI prop I acquired from a third party. You can try and deal
with Dawn over the phone if NSI answer their phone. Or you can try Craig Woolman.
The best luck I had was sending him an e-mail. His e-mail address is craigwoolman@nsiaero.com
I did finally prevail and have received the parts I needed to install the prop.
Hopefully, within the next few weeks.
Regards,

Craig's direct email is probably the most useful bit of information. He
seems to be the only one there who is switched on. The main problem
seems to be that information given to Dawn does not get to him.

I am more than a little concerned at forwarding this below without verifying
the accuracy of the information, but on the other hand if it is accurate and
I fail to pass it on immediately the consequences might just be tragic.
Furthermore I know Justyn Gorman and I would be surprised if his information
isn't accurate, hence this is sent (Bcc) to all aviating types in my email
address book.
If it turns out to be inaccurate, please accept my apologies.
And to echo Justyn's words, have a very safe (and enjoyable) 2005 flying
season.

Subject: Safety issue; Missing mast!?
Hello all
If you are flying in the Midhurst area near the VOR you may not notice a 996
foot mast which is missing off the latest half mil.
The mast is located approx 3 NM 330 degrees from the VOR.
Wishing you all a very safe 2005 flying season
Justyn Gorman

| Subject: | Tailplane Mass Balance |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Jim Butcher" <europa@triton.net>
How does one go about balancing the tailplanes? I have the tailplanes with trim
tabs in place. I have not connected the trim tabs to TS05 trim tab link rod.
All the rest of the pitch control system is connected. I have installed Mod
70 but this is my initial attempt at balance. The weights are clear of pitch
control stop structure and the new tuffnal strips from Mod 70. If I take both
weights off TP18 the mass balance arm it swings up to its stop. However if
I add the weights the tailplanes can be put in any position and stay there.
Is the idea to add just enough weight so the tailplanes come to their neutral position
aligned with the fuselage?
I read a thread that referred to stick forces when displaced from neutral. Is
this the way to set up the balance?
Obviously there is something I don't understand. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks

Now we are talking!!
Spoke with Chief Engineer at PFA.
He says that it is a do-able Mod but needs the supervision and engineering
cynicism of a disturbed Inspector well versed in the ways of Europa.
So..... Duncan....it's you!
The gamut of responsibility if you accept this mission are Install,
Calibration and Test Flights.
You know it makes sense!!
Lets get realistic. A Rotax powered Flying Hog (Pig) stands a better chance
of over flying Washington DC and not getting shot down by a F-15 than we
would have in implementing such a radical engineering heresy.
Our more free thinking French cousins probably could take on the challenge!!
End of politics!
Regards to all. Yes Duncan...you too!
PS. Duncan. Dont over fly N051 18 15 /W002 24 57 on way to Bolt Head over
weekend. We are running a Clay (Skeet) Pigeon Shoot up to 10000 feet and
you'll be fair game!!
