Steve,
I buy that kind of stuff from the factory. They have the correct items, the
service is good, the prices don't seem horrible and it helps keep Europa
2004 in business.
I ran across your new home base on a glider website. Looks like a neat
place for soaring as well as keeping a Europa. Now you need to build the
long wings so it will fit in with others there!!

The brake pads can be ordered from Aircraft Spruce. There are several listed, however
you need to order the 66-106 pads.
The brake seals are "0" rings, most any A/C maintenance shop have different sizes
available, and should be able to match yours.

I've got an earlier kit that did not provide a throttle handle so I'm making
my own. Does anyone have a handle they can measure and give me the total
length, distance between holes, etc.?
Thanks,

Jim,
Chilhowee unfortunately is not the new home base. That is where I got my
commercial glider rating and self launch endorsement. My new home base is
just to the west of Atlanta in Villa Rica at a private field called
Stockmar. Identifier 20GA.

Steve,
Very sorry to hear about all your family difficulties. Very glad to
hear that you both are almost 100% again. Wish I could help with the
brake parts but I haven't a clue. If you do find a local supplier
let us all know.
Beautiful pic of N42AH. I have added it to my folder of desktop
background pics. Seems like every time I get an idea for a paint
scheme for my A/C, I find out that someone else already has it. Back
to the drawing board, again...
Good flying,
Bob Borger

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Garry" <garrys@tampabay.rr.com>
Being VERY electrically challenged, I'm hoping some of my smarter Europa friends
can help point me in the right direction to solve a recent problem. I have
an R.C. Allen electric artificial horizon instrument which began to "tumble" several
months ago. I returned it to the factory and they said it tested OK, but
replaced the bearings anyway. I reinstalled it, but same thing happened.
When I telephoned the factory they suggested that perhaps I wasn't getting full
electrical power to the unit. I'm assuming by that they mean 13.2 volts (2.2
volts per battery cell, times 6 cells). The voltmeter in my panel reads 11.9
volts with radio, GPS and transponder turned on, and reads 12.1 volts when I
turn off the radio, GPS, and transponder. My Ammeter reads 003.............whatever
that means. Increasing my RPM from 4900 to 5200 increases the voltmeter
reading by about .1 volt. Do I have a voltage problem? If so, why? I've
been flying my trigear 914 for 6 years without this problem, and have not added
any additional electrical equipment to the plane in the 6 years. My battery
is 2 months old. Should I be looking at my alternator.........or my regulator/rectifier..........or
what? Is there a way to turn up the juice (volts) going
to my artificial horizon? How would I go about trouble shooting this problem?
What fixes are most likely? If you respond, please remember the first 4
words in this email! Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have the part number for the o-rings used on the brake slave cylinder
for a mono-wheel. Mine blew out yesterday and need to replace them.

I need to stop my throttle from creeping. Whether on the ground or in flight it
wants to advance forward. Most of the throttle related posts that I have read
are about stiff or sticky throttle cables. Mine is just the opposite.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

--> Europa-List message posted by: Andrew Sarangan <asarangan@yahoo.com>
When attaching the ailerons to the wing, the manual calls for 25-deg up
and 22-deg down (for a final travel of 23.5-deg up and 20-deg down).
I don't have any problem with the 22-deg down, in fact, mine goes down
as far as 35-deg. But the up-swing is only about 20-deg. This is after
drilling holes for the anchor nuts to enter the leading edge of the
aileron.
I am not sure how to get another 5-degrees. The manual does not address
this issue. Is there something I am missing??

The voltage and amps you refer to are from the main electrical bus. You
could have a bad connection between the main bus and the attitude
indicator. If you hook up a volt meter to the terminals of the attitude
indicator, that should tell you whether you are getting the full
voltage under load.
Alternatively, if your panel-mount ammeter is a real ammeter, you
should be able to tell how much extra current the attitude indicator is
drawing, and compare that to the manufacturer's specifications. Or you
can hook up a digital multimeter in series with your battery and do the
same measurement.

Bob,
For the gyro to topple in flight (excluding aerobatics) it is likely that
the gyro is slowing down. I would suspect the integrity of the 12V supply
to the instrument. Check the connections or better still, run a new 12V
supply to the gyro to see if the problem goes away.
regards,
Mike

Garry,
Besides the possibilities you mentioned, you might check for excessive
voltage drops across the connections and also across the circuit breaker.
We recently had our strobe lights fail, with no voltage at the strobe power
supply connector. When it was unplugged, the voltage read just fine. The
circuit breaker had a high internal resistance, so the voltage disappeared
under load, but looked all right with only a high-impedance meter checking
the voltage. A new circuit breaker cured the problem.

Adjust the aileron bell crank settings to get the required displacements. I
think the manual does mention this at the end.
