--> Europa-List message posted by: Graeme Smith <graeme@gcsmith.flyer.co.uk>
Hi,
I have heard that a number of builders have substituted taper pins in
place of the straight pins attaching TP09, TP12 etc to the tailplane
torque tube. Does anyone have an approved PFA mod number for this?
Thanks,
Graeme Smith

Patrick,
ther seem to have been a lot of complaints of the threaded
portion breaking. If that's the case you may need to fabricate a small
inward duct with a homebuilt variable output vane to overcome the loss.
Given the space, this can be a swift repair for a difficult replacement
item.
Cheers, ferg

Thanks Ferg - yes the original part is a bit flimsy and I guess quite a few
small mods have been put together to cover the lack of spares. I will do
something along the lines you suggest.

Patrick,
I am not 100% sure, but it looks like Air Craft Spruce after it had those
air inlets discontinued last year, is offering them in this years catalog
again. Perhaps this might be a new design. ACS also offers for the first
time an "Air Inlet Repair Kit" P/N 05-01464 for US$10.95 and can be found on
the new catalog on page 191. The catalog states that "anyone who has
installed plastic adjustable air inlet kit may have experienced a failure of
the operation mechanism that opens and closes the inlet". Maybe this kit
will replace the mechanism and restore its functionality. I have not
physically seen this kit, but I wonder if this mechanism is better then the
original one. I take a guess that ACS may had to many complains and it
discontinued those last year till a better substitute could be offered.
Just my penny worth of thoughts

Patrick,
You can order ACS bits either directly or through LCS in the UK, if that
helps?

Good Day All,
There wasn't much in the way of information on the archive on this item. Does
the new Europa have these available? Where would I look for them...website?
One email spoke of Alan Cousins having built one that could be used with a
simple battery. Any feedback on this item? In the US and don't need PFA approval.

Why don't you add the Dynon AOA petio tube to you installation. It will then be
displayed on you Dynon EFIS.

Mike,
Unless I'm much mistaken, its available from the Factory as Mod 62, version
A or B depending on wing type and whether they're closed out yet.
