The point is that the oil stat is an approved mod, shown
as approved and can be put on with no reference to the
PFA, just signed off by a PFA inspector.
So the inefficiency of the PFA can be used against them !
If they are so inefficient that they make a decision, and
announce it, and then (allegedly) reverse it and don't
announce the reversal, leaving the original decison
published, how can they expect anyone who doesn't read
this forum know one way or the other.
I shall do this next week so long as my inspector is happy.
He has made no comment so far !
Richard

Ron,
I took the following data about a year ago. It isn't an exact experiment
because I didn't hold a constant altitude. The OAT varied from 30 degrees
to 19 degrees.
All the data was captured from my EIS over a one hour flight, the numbers
below are averages of samples, of around 3 or 4 minutes long. I have no
data for 32,33 and 39"
Since then I have adjusted the needles in the carburetor to be leaner, and
the engine is a loosened up a lot. One of these days I'll do another sample
and maybe do it for constant sets of altitude.
If you would like a copy of my EIS data dump let me know and I will send it
to you directly.
For take off
34" @ 5500 = 8.01 US Gal / hr
Various cruise settings at 5000 rpm.

Hi Martin,
I do not have experience with the Colson wheels, but I have had good
success with wheels from http://www.castersupply.com/. The particular
wheels I have used are Part No. INI-2140, Infiniti elastomer wheels, 4 x
1 1/4 at USD 4.97 each and are listed at
http://www.castersupply.com/NAV/elastomer_wheels.htm.
The data sheet on the web page lists a 1/2 inch axle size but the actual
wheels supplied fit a 3/8 inch axle. These wheels last about 200 to 300
take-offs and landings.
Cheers, John

Subject: Europa-List: Replacement Outrigger Wheels
Hi Folks,
I'm looking to replace my outrigger wheels. The forum archive (thanks to
those who told me how to access it) indicates Colson Casters as a good source.
A visit to the Colson Casters website puts me into 'caster overload'.
Can someone recommend a suitable caster type - together with part number? One
with rubber tires would be best I think.
Regards, Martin Tuck Europa N152MT Wichita, Kansas
