I have asked on this forum for someone to let me know the spec of the
springs and no-one has replied. Does anyone know it? I have good contacts in
Sheffield including a brother in law who runs his own stainless steel busines.
Now while I cannot guarantee anything, it is quite possible that I could
find a source of springs, possible 'off the shelf' at an advantageous price to
memebers.
Any comments?
Patrick

Hi Berry,
If you or someone else can tell me how I can submit .pdf files I made from
the spec forms, I can upload the specs.
But, I would suggest to wait with ordering/manifacturing until Ian and Ivor
have a approval from PFA. Than all conditions are clear.
Regards, Tim.

Hi All,
To give a impression of the springs we use in Holland I uploaded a .pdf file
of the drawing and the abbreviated spec. list in English at the Europa
Owners website:
http://www.europaowners.org/viewforum.php?f=18
At the Gallery chapter of the website there are some pictures in
Gallery/Photo's of flying Europa's/PH-JAI (Was G-KITZ)
Ian can supply a new spec. list after PFA approval.
Regards, Tim.

Tim,
PDF Downloaded.
Thanks for the spec on the springs. I will enquire of my friends in the
stainless steel and spring business and see what they can come up with.

So far, I've had E-mails from about a dozen people for representation to the PFA
about the use of Keith Wilsons pictures - If anyone else would like to add their
name or comments, please drop an E-mail to PFA_representation@hotmail.co.uk.
All support would be much appreciated.
Peter

Having recently fitted an Arplast VP prop and spent 4 weeks trying to get
everything running smoothly, I am coming round to the view that the prop may be
out of balance.
I had thought that the engine, at low and medium rpm was cutting to 3
cylinders, but local engineers are 99% sure that this is not the case and the
vibration etc is maybe down to the prop.
Has anyone any comments or experience that will help?.
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

The most obvious suggestion is that the hub sockets are marked with 1, 2 and
3 dots as are the blades. Check that you have the correct blade in the
correct socket since the marks are applied at the factory after balancing.
If you are a member of the Europa club then get in contact with Pete Jeffers
who (I think) has the clubs prop balancer.

I dredged this from long past records (the attached URL is long gone), but
intend to research the utility of it when airborne. The quality of the
photos is poor, but the principle is clear. Photo1 is a copy of a
long-defunct URLsite; Photo2 is my adaptation, made from a Clark Y airfoil
rotated 12 degrees to present what is hopefully an ideal shape to maximise
out-draft . I have a drawing somewhere............ and have built and tested
a copy in the auto window - it works well at 50mph.
Cheers, Ferg
PS: The purpose was to draw air backward from the cockpit with a
controllable flap to regulate the flow - in order to increase airflow but
not reduce a positive pressure in the cockpit. The latter reason is to
prevent inward flow of air through the throttle stand slots (Throttle,
choke, brake, gear) and thus make less susceptible to smoke or noxious fumes
forward.
I expect to duct (2inch) from rear bulkhead to the form in the rear of the
aircraft somewhere, as I say with a rotating flap operated from the seat to
control the effect.

Thanks for the kind words. That is what I was trying to do. BUT,
You have not seen anything yet. I had the belly repainted by John Stahr. The same
painter that painted the "Stars and Stripes" an RV-8
on page 59 of this months Sport Aviation.
I will try to get some good pictures of the belly and pants uploaded soon.
