Wee took delivery of our 914 about 2 1/2 years ago. We are still a
long way from flying or even commissioning the engine. I know the
engines come prepared for storage but is there a time limit before we
should be doing anything other than look longingly at it?

Paul,
You may want to open the crate and read your Installation Manual, page
22-23. They say someting has to be done after a 12 month storage period.
But in my opinion, you better leave it alone and not open it before your
are ready for installation, provided you stored it in a dry place.
We too took a long time before installing the engine.

My alternator (generator) has always been a bit reluctant to come on line
and would only do so at quite high revs. The little red light has now decided
to stay on all the time and no amount of reving and switch throwing will
induce it to go out.
Before I start to strip out all the gubbins between me and the generator to
get at the thing, can anyone help by suggesting where I should look first for
a possible minor faulty connection or whatever.? Initial searches have been
non productive.
Thanks.

Patrick,
From your signature, your engine seems to be a 914.
In order to be of assistance, a schematic of your circuit would be a
great help.
In my opinion, a fault in the alternator itself is very unlikely.
The problem may lie in the wiring and/or regulator.
Have you installed the required capacitor ?
Is your battery in good shape ? We have discovered that the Rotax
regulator won't sart to life unless submitted to a significant voltage.
Is your rectifier/regulator correctly wired, and is it connected to a
suitable ground with a wire of sufficient gauge ?

I assume we are talking about a Rotax engine? The first check is to
confirm it is not an indication problem. If the voltage at the regulator
output is less than 13 volts at say 3000rpm the generator is not working
as it should. If so the most likely culprit is the regulator. If
possible borrow someone else's regulator to see if the fault disappears.
This is an easy task and would only take a few minutes. Be sure the
grounding connection to the regulator is good otherwise it can do damage
to the regulator.
If the regulator is not the problem and the output is still low then the
generator coils or wiring from them to the regulator are at fault.
Hope this helps.

Hi Paul,
Yes, i ordered a set, and installed all knobs. Easy and IMHO good looking. There was nothing for the outer door handles, for the rest it seems to be complete, and installation was easy. See the attached picture or follow the link, some more pictures are at http://www.europaowners.org/kit600 in the fuselage album,
Regards,
Jos Okhuijsen

I have had problems with my broadband which now seem to be sorted. These
caused me to fail to receive several messages which I know were sent to me.
It may be that some were expressing interest in the Tour de France. Can I
ask anyone who did email me who has not had a reply to copy the email
originally sent, please?

Hi,
Do any of you who have moved up to VP props, happen to have a Warp Drive
fixed pitch prop with tapered blades that is surplus to requirements? I
am looking for one.
Thanks,

--> Europa-List message posted by: "Peter Rees" <peter.rees01@tiscali.co.uk>
Gents
I'm looking at installing a VOR / ILS receiver in G-MFHI and am looking for
some advice on a suitable aerial. Spruce have some which look like long thin
strips with a BNC in the centre - easy enough to bond into the back of the
fuse. The Bob Archer ones they offer also look pretty good but as they are
designed for horizontal mounting, may be a bit harder to mount in the back
without having to build a platform over the rudder cables etc.
Can anyone who has installed a VOR please let me know what aerial / antenna
you've used and any opinions about it.
I believe that the instrument I'm going to fit (Narco 122) has a marker
beacon receiver built in - any ideas as to a suitable aerial for this would
also be appreciated.
Regards
Peter
