--> Europa-List message posted by: "Dean Seitz" <daseitz@cfl.rr.com>
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.

Kit 055 Classic Trigear G-OBJT finally took to the air between heavy showers at
Old Sarum on Friday 3rd June at 1805 BST. Test pilot David Scouller made this,
his first Europa, the 193rd type to grace his logbooks (he is trying for 200
before he retires). David flew for 35 minutes and managed to achieve a very
complete schedule of handling tests before the approaching gloom curtailed operations.
Stalls were thoroughly checked, indicating a slight left wing drop
- possibly connected to slight asymmetric flap lowering which generated a slight
roll in that direction. VNE was attempted but abandoned at 157 Kts when rough
air was encountered. Otherwise there are few snags to clear and the Grand
Rapids EFIS came in for special praise.
G-OBJT weighed in at 830 lbs empty, which I guess is a little on the heavy side
considering the 912S sits behind a Warp Drive prop, but this is probably down
to my painting efforts which entailed many extra coats to achieve a reasonable
finish.
My thanks to John Grant who commenced the build way back in '94, Inspectors Graham
Singleton and Ted Terry who examined the beast, and David Scouller who has
started the test process so successfully.

Then you can use the small stainless countersunk screws with nuts the other
side including a washer the same as Nigel Charles. It looks really neat.
Obviously enjoying yourself!!

Dean - congratulations! Just a couple of queries for the record - I
assume from what you say that you did the first flight yourself - is
that correct? And at which airfield did the happy event take place,
please?

Congratulations, but is it really necessary to send this
identical email out more than 10 times ? Whatever it is
duplicating the mail please stop it !
I am surprised that the PFA allowed someone who had never
flown a Europa to do the test flying. I understood that
some experience on Europas was necessary.

This Test Pilot David Schouller headed up the Empire Test Pilots School and
was certainly at Boscombe Down in that type of role. His experience is wide
ranging from Very fast Jets to instructing on Perf A and below at this time.
No worries with this gentleman!

Good Morning Brian & Dean
Happy flying to both of you. Hearing of the first flights is a great encouragement
to press on with my own build. Just received panel pieces parts and am looking
forward to installing and wiring up. I'm also going with GRT EFIS. Brian,
would you have a picture of your panel?

Hi George,
Dig through the archive search "Cockpit module" there's bunches of posts @: http://www.sarangan.org/europa_forum/2005-06/index.html
Or go to http://www.europaowners.org/gallery and search "Cockpit module"
lots of pictures. I did my module as a one man job, with sheet metal screws. BrianS
did his with weights and straps and very few screws.
The only clecos I have are the ones that came with the kit. I didn't find the need
for more.
Chat Later,

Hi George
I have about 30 to 40 1/8" clecos and a dozen 3/16". I found them very
useful in putting the top on, the rudder post in, fitting the rudder, trim
tabs, ailerons, plexi in the windows, the panel, etc. The beauty is that
one can fit, adjust, re-fit, then do the final and after the epoxy sets,
remove them. If I find a bunch of them on eBay or somewhere, I'll buy more.
Who knows, maybe they will help with erectile dysfunction or ?

--> Europa-List message posted by: "SteveD" <Post2Forum@comcast.net>
Hi George,
Dig through the archive search "Cockpit module" there's bunches of posts @:
http://www.sarangan.org/europa_forum/2005-06/index.html
Or go to http://www.europaowners.org/gallery and search "Cockpit module"
lots of pictures. I did my module as a one man job, with sheet metal screws.
BrianS did his with weights and straps and very few screws. The only clecos
I have are the ones that came with the kit. I didn't find the need for more.
Chat Later,
Steved

| Subject: | Fuel taxes potentially to be scrapped |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Jeremy Davey" <EuropaFlyer_3@msn.com>
Folks,
An interesting item in the news today. The UK Government are considering
abolishing road tax and fuel taxes, and replacing them with road charging by
the mile, implemented by GPS.
So, within 10 years, we could see mogas prices drop to around 20p a litre at
current prices. Just in time for G-EZZA=92s first flight, I reckon! :-)
With any luck they=92ll not cotton on to us fliers using it in the air =96
otherwise I can see them slapping us with an airspace charge :-(
Cheers,
Jeremy
PS I=92ve experimentally changed my code page on this posting =96 so let=92s see
if Matt=92s server changes all the punctuation marks to 9764476!

Dean - congratulations! Just a couple of queries for the record - I
assume from what you say that you did the first flight yourself - is
that correct? And at which airfield did the happy event take place,
please?
regards
Rowland

| Subject: | Belting for trailer |
--> Europa-List message posted by: N55XS <topglock@cox.net>
Someone posted about wing support belting from McMaster-Carr. I had a
harddrive go south and lost the information. I found belting at their
site, but don't remember the type recommended. Anyone lend any help?
Thanks
