    --> Europa-List message posted by: "David Joyce" <davidjoyce@doctors.org.uk> Bryan, just to say that I am now happy with the dates for the T de F & the Canaries trip so they can be advertised. Some mention about the T de F being designed to experience & taste the best of France, with the general aim of appealing to wives and also offering support to any first time foreign tourers, would be appropriate. Enquiries to me on email or 01454260542.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net> Hi all, I am in the middle of my annual condition inspection and I was wondering how others went about lubricating the torque tube and what lubricant did most folks favor ? Thanks Paul N378PJ

They seem far greater than ours. In our airplane I actually flowed about 53 L/h on the ground with each of our standard Rotax 914 pumps. I did not bother to measure with both pumps, as the goal was to ensure we were exceeding the 125 % max fuel consumption limit, before first flight. No fuel problem whatsoever in one year flying. But I'll check shortly the flow with both pumps. All I have to do is disconnect the line at the fuel pressure regulator connection. Another check I'll conduct is run only one of the FF pickups to compare with physical measurements, and get a ball park idea of the return flow. My opinion is that with two pumps flowing 53 L/h in parallel, you'll definitely flow less than twice that value. I'd welcom any actual measurements, and would be glad to publish them.

    Subject: XS mono wheel trailer
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Vaughn & Gaye Teegarden" <N914VA@starband.net> Hi All, Could someone with a trailer for an XS mono-wheel take three measurements for me. I have found a small trailer with coil springs and shocks taht might be a start for the Europa trailer. I need to know the distances from the hitch to the axle, from hub to hub, and from the ground to the bottom of the rail that the tailwheel rides in. That would be enough to know if I should throw $50 at this thing. Thanks in advance. Vaughn N914VA

    Subject: Europa Flyer #47
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Cliff Shaw" <flyinggpa@comcast.net> All I really enjoy the day that the Europa Flyer arrives way over here on the West coast of USA. I was reading each and ever article and every advertisement one by one very carefully. Paul McAllister's article was very good. I came upon a wiring article by Nigel Charles. I almost feel off my chair when I saw the photo on page 12. How could any one have messed up a panel wiring job as bad as that :) ? There was no credit given to the picture, so I will claim it. I really had to look in my photo library to confirm it, but I admit that is my panel viewed from the back. The instrument missing for the panel is the Dynon D10. It was not available at the time. Keep building and happy flying. Cliff Shaw 1041 Euclid ave. Edmonds, WA 98020 425 776 5555 http://www.europaowners.org/WileE

    Subject: Re: 914 fuel pumps
    --> Europa-List message posted by: Jan de Jong <jan.de.jong@xs4all.nl> Hello Gilles, Very interesting. My numbers are from the pump data published by Pierburg (on your site) and Rotax. The pump is supposed to deliver a flow of 120 l/h when output pressure equals input pressure. At what I deduced would be the maximum deliverable pressure boost (1,1 bar) it should still be 90 l/h. Even if there where a serious restriction between your tank and your pump (1,0 bar theoretical max. draw down) 53 l/h could not be made to fit the published graph (the graph calls for a pressure boost of 1,5 bar at 53 l/h). Don't know what to think. It seems incredible that actual performance could be less than half the published performance. B.t.w. My 240 l/h is a little high indeed: exact total flow at 0,35 bar is maybe 2 x 116 l/h (graph), subtract minimum flow to engine, maybe 5 l/h, result 227 l/h. Same ballpark. But only if the published data can be believed ... And if my mental model is correct ... I'm very interested in the results of your further experiments. And I hope you get more flow results from people. Regards, Jan de Jong
