It very similar to the kenlowe preheater i have been using on my Landrover
for the last fifteen years, Works a treat, Certainly improves battery drain
and starter motor wear!

Yes, I have decided to go for separate water-oil heat exchanger
with water thermostat and electric pre-heater.
System will be tested in the test-bench before final installation.
When stored in cold hangar, it can be always on.
The cockpit /panel will be also (pre)heated and that is good for
equipments. That is also what I have used to with cars.
Cheers, Raimo

Hi, Paul!
Sounds like you're about to have some fun!
I'm highly interested in the fuel injection idea. If I could ditch the carbs on
the 912S when we get ours ready to fly, that would be superb.
To start with, I'd look to the motorcycle world for ideas. The Rotax is more similar
to a motorcycle engine than a car engine, and many new bikes are fuel injected
these days.
Are you looking to go port injected or throttle body?
It seems there should be available an aftermarket fuel injection setup somewhere
that could be modified to work on the Rotax. Then you'd have a nice O2 sensor
in the exhaust to automatically set mixtures.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone in the US would have a fixed pitch propeller that
they would sell, or lend.... preferable sell.
I have sent my Airmaster back to NZ to have some work done and the typical
door to door turn around time is 6 weeks. That's a long time to be without a
"Europa drug fix"
Just as an aside, I am in the middle of negotiating for the purchase of a
second hand 912. I intend to set this up on an engine stand and experiment
with fuel injection. Assuming that I can make it work and I can convince
myself that it will be reliable I will fit it up to my 914. Other than
attaching a propeller to it I don't know how else I will be able to place a
load on the engine. Anyhow, if the project ever gets off the ground I'll

Hi! Raimo
Just so you have a quick answer I'd say approx 2 gallons which is just
over 9 litres but with the a/c in cruise level it may be slightly more.

You need to measure yours.
Mine is 9 litres on the reserve side if the aircraft is
not being thrown around in turbulence. Less if it is bumpy !

Hi Raimo,
About 10 liter if I remember correct.
But it may be much less, especially if you got a 912/912S with less return
fuel then 914 Turbulence may move fuel from reserve to main.
Remember that is one tank including "reserve".
Please land before your "main" is empty

| Subject: | DOTH of all DOTHs. From London to Melbourne. |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Tim Weert" <tim.weert@hccnet.nl>
Hi Europa owners,
In October 2009 its 75 years ago that the famous London Melbourne race was flown.
(Departure 20 October 1934) Scott and Campbell Black won with their red Comet
G-ACSS in 71 hours of flight. KLM Captain Parlmentier with First Officer Moll,
Mechanic Prins and Radio operator Van Brugge won the Handicap race with PH-AJU,
the famous DC-2 Uiver. This was the first Intercontinental flight with passengers!
I would like to fly the route from London to Melbourne with some experimental aircraft
(Europas !!) in 2009. Even today it would be a great challenge to make
it happen. If the operational problems would be solved, the route still follows
some very instable countrys. And the weather en-route will be challenging.
I made an initial planning of 17 flying days +/- 800 nms per day;
Segment nr./Route:
1. England: Londen, France: Reims, Dijon, Geneve, Italia: Turijn, Genua, Rome.
2. Rome, Napels, Brindisi, Griece: Kerkira, Prevesa, Araxos, Athene.
3. Athene, Andros, Tinos, Mikonos, Ikaria, Samos, Turkie: Bodrum, Marmaris, Antalya,
Mersin, Syria: Aleppo.
4. Aleppo, Abu Kemal, Irak: Ar Ramani, Bagdad, Shatra, Basra, Koewait: Koewait
Stad.
5. Koewait Stad, Wafra, Saudi Arabia: Ras Al Mishab, Ras Tanajib, Jubail, Dammam,
Dhahran, Bahrain: Bahrain, Qatar: Doha, United Arab Emirates: Jebel Dhana,
Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah.
6. Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Oman: Khasab, Iran: Dayrestan, Bandar Abbass, Jask,
Chah Bahar, Bir, Pakistan: Jiwani, Pasni, Karachi.
7. Karachi, India: Kota, Allahabad.
8. Allahabad, Calcutta.
9. Calcutta, Bangladesh: Chittagong, Myanmar (Birma): Rangoon, Thailand: Bangkok
10. Thailand: Bangkok, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumpon, Surat Thani, Krabi,
Trang, Malaysia: Alor Setar, Butterworth, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Singapore:
Singapore.
11. Singapore, Indonesia (Sumatra): P.Kundur, P.Mendol, Palau Basu, Jambi, Palembang,
Bandar Lampung, Java: Jakarta.
12. Jakarta, Indramayu, Semarang, Surabaya, Bali: Denpasar.
13. Denpasar, Nusa Pendila Islnd., Lombok: Mataram, Sunda: Bima, Sumba: Waingapu,
Pulau Dawu, Palau Roti, Timor: Kupang.
14. Kupang, Australia: Bathurst Island, Darwin.
15. Darwin, Katherine, Delamare, Tennant Creek.
16. Tennant Creek, Charleville.
17. Charleville, Albury, Melbourne.
I made some premature calculations. I tried to follow the agent route as much as
possible. May be we have to look for a substitute for segment 4. The total
distance is 11374 nms over 23 countrys in 17 daylight periods with VFR conditions.
With a calculated cruise speed of 120 KIAS the total flight time is approximate
95 hours. The stretches are approximate 800 nms. The most challenging part
is the shortest stretch, 451 nms above the Sea of Timor from Kupang to Darwin..
But the miles above jungle may be very challenging as well. I am still studying
about the best time in the year, we have to pass the ITF (Inter Tropical
Front) at a geographical position and a time in the year that it is weak enough
for our limitations. Besides that an average tailwind will help a lot. When
safely in Melbourne our Europas can be shipped back to Europe in a sea container.
This is still a stupid Tim Weert-idea, but to make it possible I have only 3 preparation
years ahead. And the 451 nms above the Sea of Timor is also a very big
mental challenge for me personally. In those 3 years, a team might be formed
with a couple of Europa enthusiasts who have enough experience and share this
kind of dreams.
To reduce costs I am thinking to search for sponsoring by Airlines, Oil companies,
Container/transport companies, television companies and companies like Red
Bull who regularly sponsor spectacular events. And dont forget Rotax, Europa
and more known aircraft part suppliers. Long range fuel tanks and additional equipment
should be fitted! To make the risks acceptable the team needs additional
flight safety equipment for survival in the jungle, desert and sea after a
possible forced landing. And training with that equipment is a must as well.
May be the RAF or Dutch Air force might help. An home- Operations to supply operational
support with weather, notams, flightplans, solve problems with overfly
permits, visa problems, logistic problems etc. will be a requirement as well.
Please shoot at this idea, only after a tough brainstorm session it might be possible
or it might remain still a dream.
This might be the DOTH of all DOTHs!
Regards, Tim Weert.

Dear All,
Thanks to everyone for the various replies - most helpful and I will respond 'off
forum' as appropriate and in due course.
A related question: How have folk tied down a Europa? I am looking at a machine
without tiedown points (as I understand it) and I gather from the experts that
fitting 'proper' bonded tiedown loops is a significant retro-mod. Even if you
are blessed with a cosy hanger I guess you sometimes have to leave it out when
visiting away?
Is the answer some form of webbing straps put over the wings etc etc???
Thanks,
Terry.

Thanks for every one for nice, kind and fast answers.
So, if you manage to land using main tank only, you
have maybe in theory 45 minutes reserve time left
(Rotax minimum consumption about 12 litres/hour),
which is a demand of VFR rules...

I was wondering if someone who has bought the Tri-gear
speed kit but who hasn't fitted it yet could do me a favour ?
My inside brackets for supporting the main-wheel spats
(SK18) have developed cracks (must be
the bumpy grass strip !) and as they are 12 + VAT plus
postage each I thought I would make new ones myself.
Would anyone be willing to scan a SK18 and send me the
result ? Putting a ruler on the scanner at the same time
would ensure that any distortions or reductions/increases
in size could be allowed for.
If anyone is willing to do this - please contact me direct
rholder@avnet.co.uk
and I will co-ordinate, asking just one person to do it !
Thanks in advance - this is a great resource !
Richard
PS no progress to report on the oil thermostat
installation. All ready for test flight #3 but the weather
isn't good enough (20 knot crosswind !)

Allow me to warn about this guy, Jason, who claims "only the facts and no bs" and
offers a bolt-on fi (fuel injection) kit for the Rotax. He is a fake. Got his
hands on a few military-modified 912's and tries to re-engineer the setup.
He hardly answers eMails or phone calls and has nothing real to offer besides some
of those surplus engines. He actually DOES offer a lot of bs.
I would check the setup of Klaus Savier at www.lightspeedengineering.com and get ideas from there. His el ignition can be fitted to the 912 and the same sensor can then be used for the fi unit he is working on. Expensive but promissing.
Just a warning not to waste time on "Rotaxking".
be well,

Got some more pictures today, decided to make a new subject, because this is not
really about pre-heating a rotax, although it makes it a lot easier and more
reliable. So to recap: This heat-exchanger will be mounted instead of the oil
radiator. Not in the same physical place. An oil thermostat is also superfluous
because the oil temperature will be closely coupled to the coolant temperature.
Since the water will warm faster then the oil, this helps to keep the whole
engine at a nice temperature. There will be a water thermostat as well. The
dimensions show up in the attached photos, weight is 826 grams. Price quoted
to me is 359 Euros without tax. For info contact info@aerotecno.fi, Pertti Lehtinen
I have no other commercial interest in this other then being a future customer.
While i write this,i feel already sorry for you PFA customers. I suppose that a
mod will be a long way away...

Jos Okhuijsen

Tim, What a great idea, although going via Baghdad does seem a bit
provocative! I am certainly potentially very interested, although having
been born not long after that race, age and/or maturity just might have
caught up with me by then. Presumably you will factor in plenty of
rest/weatherdelay days. Having tried to fly Kemble (UK) to Stockholm last
year in one day, (turning back in the middle of the last of three legs for
weather - cloud base threatening to join sea/ground fog) I appreciate that
that sort of daily mileage would be fairly tiring, quite apart from stresses
related to weather or strange local customs!

The total distance is 11374 nms over 23 countrys in 17 daylight periods with
VFR conditions. With a calculated cruise speed of 120 KIAS the total flight
time is approximate 95 hours. The stretches are approximate 800 nms. The
most challenging part is the shortest stretch, 451 nms above the Sea of
Timor from Kupang to Darwin.. But the miles above jungle may be very
challenging as well. I am still studying about the best time in the year, we
have to pass the ITF (Inter Tropical Front) at a geographical position and a
time in the year that it is weak enough for our limitations. Besides that an
average tailwind will help a lot. When safely in Melbourne our Europas can
be shipped back to Europe in a sea container.

3 preparation years ahead. And the 451 nms above the Sea of Timor is also a
very big mental challenge for me personally. In those 3 years, a team might
be formed with a couple of Europa enthusiasts who have enough experience and
share this kind of dreams.
> To reduce costs I am thinking to search for sponsoring by Airlines, Oil
companies, Container/transport companies, television companies and companies
like Red Bull who regularly sponsor spectacular events. And dont forget
Rotax, Europa and more known aircraft part suppliers. Long range fuel tanks
and additional equipment should be fitted! To make the risks acceptable the
team needs additional flight safety equipment for survival in the jungle,
desert and sea after a possible forced landing. And training with that
equipment is a must as well. May be the RAF or Dutch Air force might help.
An home- Operations to supply operational support with weather, notams,
flightplans, solve problems with overfly permits, visa problems, logistic
problems etc. will be a requirement as well.

Back in the archives somewhere there are details on tie down plates that
attach to the outrigger plates using the 3 bolts.
Seems like an OK solution for casual tie downs, but I'm not sure what the

Dear All,
Thanks to everyone for the various replies - most helpful and I will
respond 'off forum' as appropriate and in due course.
A related question: How have folk tied down a Europa? I am looking at a
machine without tiedown points (as I understand it) and I gather from the
experts that fitting 'proper' bonded tiedown loops is a significant
retro-mod. Even if you are blessed with a cosy hanger I guess you
sometimes have to leave it out when visiting away?
Is the answer some form of webbing straps put over the wings etc etc???
Thanks,
Terry.

Yes I have corresponded with "Rotax King" and I couldn't had said it better
myself!!
As far as my endeavor goes, I still have to finalize the deal on the 912.
Its really more of a project since I don't have an airplane to build anymore
and quite frankly I won't be in a hurry to finish..... otherwise I will have
to fine another project :o)

Allow me to warn about this guy, Jason, who claims "only the facts and no
bs" and offers a bolt-on fi (fuel injection) kit for the Rotax. He is a
fake. Got his hands on a few military-modified 912's and tries to
re-engineer the setup.
He hardly answers eMails or phone calls and has nothing real to offer
besides some of those surplus engines. He actually DOES offer a lot of bs.
I would check the setup of Klaus Savier at www.lightspeedengineering.com and
get ideas from there. His el ignition can be fitted to the 912 and the same
sensor can then be used for the fi unit he is working on. Expensive but
promissing.
Just a warning not to waste time on "Rotaxking".
be well,

Cheers,
I am only in earliest stages of 914 installation, but note that
the Lord rubber mounts must be fully compressed (all 4) to an overall length
(outer surfaces of metal cups) of 1-15/16" or give/take 49mm, in order to
properly measure the engine offset correctly.
Of course you have probably already realised this, so this
announcement is solely for the use of those in my mental state, or lower.
Also, class, the M10x110 engine bolts, having the exciting BINX nuts (not a
welcome condition) have to lose about 9/16 to 5/8 inches to describe at
least 2 extra threads outside the nuts, but try one and see.

Hi Europaeans,
Fixed the Regulator/Rectifier problem.
Had the unit checked out by a Rotax agent here and all was OK. So back to
tracking it down with the voltmeter. Before re-installing the DIN plug to
the Regulator/Rectifier I cleaned the terminals and checked the crimping. I
then made sure the connections were good and plug FULLY installed. I noticed
then the plug had gone in a lot further from when I took it out. Ah Ha. So
started up the engine and hey presto!! it was charging the battery.
Conclusion; Vibrations, I think, must have caused the plug to slip down,
despite the plastic holding brackets and caused a stator terminal to not
connect sufficiently well.The plastic brackets certainly do not hold it
securely in place.
So many thanks for your help.
Cheers,

I wish I could be so optimistic. Mine went on and off
several times, Normally at the flare stage of the flight,
and then worked perfectly the next time I tried it.
I tried various cabling fixes and each time it was OK and
then it wasn't OK.
I changed the regulator and that one was faulty in another
way (since returned).
I opened up my original regulator and re-soldered three
possible dry joints. Worked so far but no real test as the
wx has been bad (and I am fiddling with the oil thermostat).
As I said to someone, if the external wiring is OK and the
regulator is at fault then it can either be a dry joint
(which will normally mean it fails intermittently) or a
component failure, which means it fails and stays failed.
The black plug goes in so that the retaining clips just
pass their notches. It is possible that the faston connectors
weren't all the way into the black connector. They have
small tangs on them to keep them in place - if you used
the ones that came with the regulator - fine; if you used
others then the chances are that they didn't have tangs
and the connector could have been pushed out (or rather
not pushed in enough)
This is why I asked whether your regulator failure was
intermittent or permanent.
Anyway I hope that your problem is fixed. The engine will
run for a long time with no charge !
Maybe we should all carry a spare at all times :-(
Best wishes
Richard
