I'm assuming that the skydrive carb heater kit is a PFA approved modification in
the UK? Does anyone have the mod number?
Thanks

It is indeed. Its in the 'Approved for all types' document on the PFA website (TL3.07)
- the mod number is 10427.
We fitted the mod to HI the other week - not too difficult though squashing the
jackets onto the carbs is a little nerve wracking. Carbs move back by about 17mm
so make sure your installation can accomodate this.
I think that Skydrive have the kit on offer if you've not already bought it.
Goes without saying that you'll need to re-balance the carbs when you've fitted
the kit. We put a little bit of paint on the throttle and choke wires to help
get them back into roughly the right place though it still ran like a dog until
balanced.

Hi all,
Some time ago someone on the list was looking for information on Arplast
PV-50 prop blades.
I just uploaded a page on such a blade we cut into pieces last month.
English only readers fear not, I included an (hopefully) English version ;-)
FWIW
Season's greetings,

--> Europa-List message posted by: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
Curious, is anyone monitoring return flow on a 914?
To monitor net fuel usage we need to subtract what is going back to tank
from what is going into the fuel pressure regulator.
Net fuel usage is a useful thing to be able to track.
Seems to me if one were to have monitor and sensors already, if a selector
switch were installed that switched between net and return, return could
be checked once in a while which off the cuff sounds useful??
With clean filter/s and good strong pump and no restrictions one would
know what is normal return flow. Seems to me a trend down could be
followed to catch poor flow before you experienced vapor lock or low
differential pressure.
Thx.

I have dual electric Facet pumps in parallel with a Matronics Fuel Scan DX
flow meter.
There is a return flow line back to the tank so it requires a fuel
transducer going both
ways, one to add and the other to subtract. If I run both pumps with the
engine off
and the return transducer unplugged I get over 11 gph on the flow meter. Of
course
it shows 0 with both transducers connected. As long as I'm showing 11 gph
or more,
I would think that shows good health on the fuel system, along with the fuel
pressure
gauge.

I echo that William. Merry Christmas to you and all Europa-Philes. How
about a visit to one or other of the advertised New Years Day fly ins at
either Popham or Compton Abbas?

Well I don't know abut the rest of you but in the Royal Navy a 'Pink Chitty'
was an occasion when one could get down tpothe pub or indulge in some other
'one of the boys' occasions without incurring the wrath of ones beloved back
at home!
The alternative is to take her with you.

Patrick has described a "Pink Chitty" quite well. Perhaps you have "Brownie
Points" in the US? Anyway, if you do the washing up, bring early morning
cups of tea to your wife and put up the odd shelf, you earn pink chitties or
brownie points so that you can get to go off and play with your aeroplane or
boat without too much hassle. What do you call that in America?
Best wishes,
William

Ron,
I have an EIS with dual flow transducers. I seem to recall with one pump
running the return flow was in the ~25 gph range and with two pumps it was
greater than 30 gph.

Brownie points would about cover it. I prefer to make sure the wife is "very"
involved with church matters. This gets her out of the house a lot and frees
me up to sand my wings and fuselage. Now some real big brownie points will be
needed in a few days when I write a check for my engine and FWF kit. I wonder
if she'll just think of it as a late Christmas/early birthday present?

A good idea, Rick.
I have never been to Compton Abbas, so I would quite like to go there, but
either venue would be fine. Let's do a wx check and then call a DOTH.
Best wishes,
William

| Subject: | T'was the Night Before Christmas - Sports Planes Style |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Jim Pellien" <jim@pellien.com>
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the forum
not an EMAIL was posted, not even a note.
The stockings were hung by the laptop with care,
in hopes that Tom P. soon would be there.
The pilots were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of SLSA's danced in their heads.
The aircraft in their hangars, and I in my cap,
had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
When out on the tarmac there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
gave the lustre of midday to the tie-downs below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a Light Sport Aircraft and eight big EAA 'rs.
With a little old pilot, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Tom P.
More rapid than eagles, his coursers they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:
"Now Rutan! Now Melville!
Now, Fossett and Boyer!
On, Lawrence! On, Heintz!
On, Van G and Sawyer!
To the end of the runway!
To the tie-down area
Now Shut Down ! Shut Down!
Shut Down All Engines"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
so up to the top of the FBO they flew,
with the sleigh full of flight toys, and Tom P. too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
the prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
down the chimney Tom P. came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
and his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of new FAA rules he had flung on his back,
and he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
and filled all the stockings, with SP and LSA Rulings.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his SLSA, completed his preflight,
And away he flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, 'ere he flew out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
(An Adaptation of the Classic Poem, "T'was the Night Before Christmas")
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All

litres/hr.
