Michael- I have just fitted a PV50 to a 914 and I think there is very
little difference. The control unit fits onto the two bolt holes on top of the
engine block and I found it necessary to raise the coolant filler and extend
one of the hoses. I then made a protective aluminium shield to bolt over the
top of the controller so that the coolant filler sits on this. It has a rubber
pad on the lower side, presumably for this very purpose.
When I next go to my aircraft I will take a photo to send to you.
Good luck Patrick
Michael , Patrick and all
Raising the coolant filler, (swirl pot) on a Classic is a good thing anyway, it
helps to get the filler to the highest point so that automatic bleed out of entrained
air can happen. Otherwise the air can collect at the top of one of the
radiators. This was the reason for Nev's famous bleeding hole.
I can recommend thoroughly Mark Burton's products. If you can get hold of Alain
Petit, the owner of Arplast, he is a good man too, he does speak English but
is not too confident with it. IMHO his prop blade design is the best, robust,
efficient and not as harsh on the engine as solid carbon ones. A pity he didn't
supply blades to Airmaster, that would be an excellent combination.
btw Always get a second opinion, I am not always right ;-)

Always looking for a more economical way of doing things, I was
reluctant to pay the 45 pounds (as I recall) for a tool to open the oil
filter. After a bit of searching I bought an exhaust pipe cutter on
Ebay for 15 pounds. Just tried it and it works fine.

Where are you all purchasing your NGK DCPR8E spark plugs for a 912S in the
colonies? I have found them online at a motorcycle place for $32.50 for a
box of 10. Would like to get a better price. In one post Ken Carpenter
mentioned they cost him $16.00 a set.

Steve
Your question about spark plugs made me do a GOOGLE search. I put in NGK DCPR8E
and came up with a bunch of hits.
It appears your price of $3.25 each is a bargain now days. I did not realize that
the price had gone up that much.
Oh for the god-o-cheep-days.

Patrick,
I don't think you will be disappointed if you allow William's comments to
change your mind.
I have only had the experience once of flying in a Europa with a VP prop as
opposed to a CS prop. My observation was that the pilot was as busy as a
one armed violinist trying to ensure no over speeding of the engine during
the take-off phase. Admittedly, the pilot's makeup didn't help the
situation but notwithstanding this, I don't think there is much comparison
really. Using the CS prop is like going for a stroll in the park.

Dear Lister,
Please read over the Europa-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Europa-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Europa-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,
Matt Dralle

******************************************************************************
Europa-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Europa-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Europa-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occassional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularyly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.
