The whole business of the cost of spares etc is getting ridiculous. Just a
couple of comments following recent correspondence. In u.k. the ubiquitous
5mm SS bolts and nuts, ditto rivets - all can be purchased at places like
Screwfix or Wentin Fasteners at about 1/10th Europa prices. Send for a catalogue.
Similarly a set of 8 standard spark plugs from a good motor cycle dealer are
no more than =A321 as oppose to something like =A310.50 EACH from Europa.
Its like buying a computer printer very cheap and then being ripped off for
the consumables.

I agree that one can get better prices by shopping around. However, I
would like Europa to be around for a few more years yet as there are
some spares etc. which cannot be found anywhere else. I also understand
that they aren't selling too many new kits at present so I don't mind
paying a little over the odds for my bits and bobs in support.
Also saves me the hassle of sourcing everything from different suppliers
and ensuring it is of the right spec. but hey, I always was lazy.

I would like to replace the main tires of my Trigear with smaller ones. Was wondering
whether the same size tires as the nosewheel uses can be installed on the
mains, too ?
(I need the additional clearance for an enlarged prop - and would not mind the
less drag).
Anybody has a suggestion where to obtain fairings for those smaller tires then
?
be well,
<Thomas, N81EU>
Thomas
have a look at Klaus Savier's web site, he does the low drag wheel pants for EZs.
His EZ is the fastest. Also look at Gary Hertzler's achievements
He's very good on props and everything else to do with drag reduction.

Hear, hear, Richard. I'm time-poor, too, so the convenience of Europa helps.
And I'll always remember the time Damon Hill nearly won a Grand Prix in an
Arrows, and it would have been a deserved win rather than a fluke handed to
him on a plate, but a 50p component let him down on the last lap...
I don't want a 5p component letting me down in the air, only for my
dependents to be told there was a subtle difference in the correct 50p one
from Europa. Worse still if I have to buy the 5p one because Europa have
gone out of business. Until they are fully on-stream selling enough kits to
be viable, we need to support them and we need them to support us too.

I agree. I see it like this .........
The certified aviation component which would normally cost you 100, bought
by the cheapest un-certified means possible would probably cost 1.00.
If I buy the same thing from Europa I pay 10 (I feel these figures may be
exaggerated, but I think that's what's being said so for the sake of the
illustration .....)
So what. I still reckon I'm a winner! 90% saving on my parts compared with
normal aviation parts, excellent factory back-up and when / if I sadly have
to sell my pride and joy, I reckon a folder full of Europa receipts rather
than Woolworth receipts will pay dividends.
Maybe most important is that if my aircraft used loads of spare parts, I'd
start head scratching. But for me and my current minimal parts consumption
per flying hour, I'll support Europa.

Fair comment Richard and Jeremy but I have had the components examined by an
engineering company (in the family!) and their conclusion is that a
stainless steel bolt is a stainless steel bolt is a stainless steel bolt. etc!
Yes I appreciate the comments about the mutual support between us and Europa
but surely it should work both ways?

Has anyone fitted an arplast supplied spinner to a PV50, 912S XS? If so, which
type, CP or CP3?
I'm told some people have used the CP3 (diameter of 273mm, rear face 58mm behind
flange-front) but to me this doesn't seem to be as good a fit as the CP model
(diameter of 262mm, rear face 22mm behind flange-front)
Any comments welcome.

While I support Europa as much as feasible, living across the pond makes
buying small stuff very inconvenient, therefore, I buy common AC
hardware, spark plugs, oil filters, etc, from ACS or some other
convenient supplier. When it comes to other things, like, say door
struts (which can actually be had here, in the States), I buy from
Europa. In these cases, they are convenient to deal with and they ship
at very reasonable prices.
Best wishes to the folks at Europa 2004. Hope you're around for a long
time...

Cheers,
As a corollary to Amateur Packet Reporting System, radio VE3IUO
is a personal buddy and his vehicle reports thius way. Select the following
address to determine his position and details:
http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?call=VE3IUO
On the first map, I am located an inch above the 'n' in
Burlington. If you select '+' to expand, I am on the corner of Guelph Line
and South Drive - east of his usual position.
APRS as this is known, has been in operation (begun by one man)
for eight years or so. It originally made use of VHF relay stations working
at 300 baud to relay the position back to home plate - all courtesy of
volunteer relay stations, known as Sysops (Sysytems operators), now called
'servers'. At 300 baud, the relay was understandably slow, but with time
regu;ar relay routes were formalised and it sped up. Obviously, by hooking
into the web, the speeds increased exponentially, and the website shown will
bear some delving for all its qualities.
The advantage is:
(1) your present position, every 15 minutes, can be sent to your computor -
and thus becomes a written log, with times, temps, alts or whatever - all
automatic;
(2) if your were to go missing, where the trail stops is your position
within 15 minutes - or 30 miles or so - as long as you have VHF range to a
Sysyop;
(3) The requirement is to become a licensed Amateur in order to pursue this
feature - so you can design and build your own antenna and units. NOT
available in UK because AR is not permitted airborne.
Obviously, WW II had a great affect on Uk regulations, and
Amateur Radio suffered many unnecessary restrictions as a result. However,
it has been shown that AR promotes a greater awareness of matters electronic
and nightmares of clandestine radio messages are readily eased by
all-pervasive frequency samplers which coiver almost every facet. Yes,
your cell is monitorred, probably in more than one capital city..........
Of course if you don't want people to know where you are, turn
off the radio.... Just a thought.

With literally hundreds of glider tows under my belt, I cannot advise towing
gliders with such low HP unless you have A LOT of room. Until recently I
regularly towed with an O-540 equipped Piper Pawnee. With some special engine
modifications, it dyno's at 307 hp and there have been times in both strong thermal
conditions and wave where I've not been able to maintain a climb through
strong sink with a glider on tow. This Pawnee ordinarily climbs between 1200 fpm
-
1400 fpm on an average tow of a single place glider and climbs at better than
2500 fpm off tow. I have also towed with a 150 hp Citabria with a climb prop
from a 5500' paved strip and the only way I can describe it is anemic. "Scary"
is another word that comes to mind.
Towing gliders with 115 hp? Yeah, you can probably do it, but you can also
stick a fork in your eye. I wouldn't recommend either, though.

I have an Arplast spinner fitted on my 914 Europa with XS cowl and PV50

used on the Pulsar. It matches up with the cowl fine.Just checked my

O.K. Trev I know when I am having my wrist slapped! But it is a
serious
issue and I for one cannot afford to buy a pound of butter at Fortnum
and Mason
when I can get the identical stuff at Tesco for half the price.

| Subject: | Landing Gear Lever Latch |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "N914RB" <n914rb@earthlink.net>
Monowheel builders:
Anybody out there notice that Figure 14 in Chapter 28 shows the latch
(LG12A) being attached with 2 FL10 spacers? Maybe I'm missing something, but
when I put one on the bolt that goes through the lever, this places the
latch too far to port to fit into the slot. If I remove it, the latch fits
right into the slot and the lever fits into the correct position in the
lower slot.
I've checked what I think is the most recent version of the builder's manual
against my older copy but they seem to match. So I'm pretty sure it must be
something I'm not grasping. Wouldn't be the first time!
Thanks,
Dan

--> Europa-List message posted by: <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
After routing XS Monoheel brake line, I find it is several inches too
short.
I see Aircraft spruce sells Nylaflow the proper size in translucent white
instead of the black.
Anyone use this with success?
Any other suggestions on what to use and where to get it?
Thx.

Hello Dan
1 FL10 is supposed to go into the latch, not act as a standoff. You
probably want to ream the hole if you can or work up in very small
increments.

The spacer goes through the latch to decrease friction and allow the latch
to free fall in the down position. (in theory)
The other spacer rests against the lever 'edge' in the down or up position.
Make sure it is the right sized spacer in diameter terms to fit within the
latch.
Also my advice to you is to fit the spring (diagram in next email to site)
to make sure the latch stays down on rough runways. Not staying down
does spoil your days flying, as I found out on a landing! BUGGER!
The problem is that you put this latch in situ long before you first use it
and dust etc can affect the freefall of the latch.
Hence, landing on a rough undulating strip the latch can bounce up and STAY
UP! Undercarriage decides to go up as well, very quickly.
$NZ2 spring will stop this, preventing a $3000 repair bill. Insurance is
also handy.
Cheers,
Tim
