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.
Cheers, David

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

Jan and all,
I'd be interested in learning more about your numbers. 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.
Regards,
Gilles Thesee

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.

I have use a Teflon lithium white grease with good results. It is put on very
thin and spread out evenly so it is not visible.

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.

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

This is just to those is Florida (sorry). The wife and I are going to get some
sun-shine for a week. We will be in Tampa on March 16 and then go abord a big
white curse ship on Saturday. Is there any Europa folks in the aria? I promised
lunch with friends in Zephyrhills of Friday, so will have to work around
that.
Just hoping to "talk Europa"
