I used small countersunk stainless screws which I thought looked OK.

I'm getting ready to start my calibrations for the 912S and have a
question. What, if anything are folks using to regulate fuel pressure
for both the mechanical and electric pumps, and how are you setting it
up? Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi Jeff,
The size of the hole in the return pipe restrictor determines the pressure.
I found that the standard restrictor hole took my fuel pressure above the
recommended level, and I had to open it up a tad.
Before that I had a petrol smell on climb out with both pumps working. It is
a long time ago now, but it does not seem to happen now.
Cheers Bryan

Today at 02.00 pm I made the first flight on my Europa A284 -- N284A
This aircraft is a hi-top Tri-gear XS with the NG mods on the fuse for the
doors but with foam tail planes.
The aircraft has a Rotax 914 with Airmaster prop and a Dynon EFIS with
backup instruments, a King KX125 Nav/Com, and Narco AT165 mode C
transponder. It came in at 868 lbs with interior still to go in.
The flight only lasted one time around the pattern due to the oil temp gauge
going to full scale (pegged over 300 deg.). Take off and landing were
perfect with no problems. The oil temp problem was found to be a connection
problem. Will try further flight attempts next weekend.

Thanks, Bryan.
I hope to have the bugs worked out in a few weeks and my FAA inspection
out of the way shortly thereafter. Finally some light at the end of the
tunnel. Filled the tank, today, one gallon at a time and documented the
reserve, then fabricatd and calibrated the sight gauge. Prop ships Tuesday.

Ah yes! I remember it well.
I am sure that you will raise the tail to the flight attitude as well as the
normal tail down position to get both readings calibrated. In my experience
the sight gauge works well when topping up and flying.
The biggest curse is that the filler is on the opposite side of the aircraft
to the sight gauge, so that you cant see it when you are topping up.
Cheers Bryan. G BYSA. XS Mono 912s

Dean!
Congratulations my friend! A beautiful ship. I'm sure she fly's as well as
she looks!
It appears that the time in the Eclipse was just the ticket to prepare
yourself for testing.
Deb will be on you to fly off those hours quickly so SHE can start having fun
with that Europa!
Well done!
