    Subject: Re: ...and another thing
    --> Europa-List message posted by: RobsonPR <robsonpr@clear.net.nz> Tony, I think you've got a few things wrong, old chap. I had to have a 40 hour flight test period and I can't see why anybody should get away with any less. >From whom did you get permission to land on the beach? ?Te Rauparaha? You probably need a quota to collect those muscles. But the main point is, all this business about ground loops and breaking propeller blades can at least be ameliorated in three ways. One is to say to yourself three times on your take off and three times on your short final "STICK BACK. STICK BACK. STICK BACK" and as soon as you are on the ground, do it. Do not answer to the reflex to check forward when you bounce. Another is, fit a Robson mod to your Singleton tail wheel/rudder mod with your tail wheel cables attached 100mm out from the centre line. This results in the wheel being deflected to the same angle (30 degrees) as the rudder instead of a greater angle which is the cause of the twitchiness and steering difficulty at fast and moderate taxiing speeds. It also takes a longer pedal movement to achieve the same tail wheel movement and is therefore more controllable. Another aid is to have a little bit of sticky tape at the base of your windscreen which is lined up with a small aerial type of thing half way down your cowling arranged so that the (imaginary) line from one to the other is exactly parallel to the axis of the fuselage. You use these markers and a tree dead ahead on the horizon to line the plane up perfectly as you set down. Until I put this gadget on I would not have believed I could be so far out when thinking that the plane was straight for landing. If you always sit with the same posture you can also use this set up to make sure you are getting the tail wheel down first. I always sit in the same posture. The breadth of my butt does not allow anything else!

    Subject: ...and another thing
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "nigel charles" <nwcmc@tiscali.co.uk> I agree that on the ground the monowheel looks a bit strange. However when it is in the air with the gear retracted I think it looks the part more than the trigear. With regards to a conventional tailtragger version it would be a more viable proposition if the airframe was designed for it in the first place. The positioning of the hard points for mounting the main gear in this configuration calls for some inventive engineering. The engineer in the UK who has done about 6 of these conversions reckons to allow about 2 months to do the work and he is familiar with the job. I believe, like the trigear, it adds more weight to the airframe and only slightly eases the handling skills required. One conventionally geared Europa a few years ago sheared an undercarriage leg after a groundloop. Whilst this was totally the fault of the pilot it shows that it is not the answer if you wish to make the handling easier.

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul McAllister" <paul.mcallister@qia.net> Well, I think Ferg had a bit of time on his hands and is just twisting our tails. Just think about it for a moment. Us guys that have finished our aircraft have it pretty tough, gee on the weekends there is none of this going out to comfy workshop stuff, no, we have to figure out where are going to have to fly. Hmm, what should I do, perhaps take a run up to Lake Superior, or should I fly the Chicago skyline and stop for a lunch.... decisions, decisions. Then there are the evening, when I have to figure out where I am going for my next cross country, oh darn, should I take it down to the Bahamas again, or over to the Canadian Rockies for week. Gee we have it tough. And then there is the problem of finding of a loo or getting a bite to eat, gee should I stop and that nice litte airport below and borrow the crew car, or should we not.... Ferg and the other builder have it so easy, hmm let me see, what should I do next, ahh, lets open the Europa build manual and see. Time to eat or hit the loo... gee lets run in from the workshop. No doubt about it, Ferg has it easy. Paul do not archive

    Subject: Wing Cradles
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "R.C.Harrison" <ptag.dev@tiscali.co.uk> Hi! Jim I used a loop of conveyor belting lined with carpeting making sure the countersunk bolts and nuts are completely out of the way of the wing surfaces. If you go to the Matronics photo share pages and look for Self Rigging Photos posted under my name on Aug 13 DSC 00138jpg "End View of Wing in Clamp" you can see my two carpeted cradles, they are on pivots to allow the wings to be lifted over them so they pivot back up to act as cradles. One (Starboard side) is laid down and one (Port side) is in travel mode (up) in the photo. Both without the wings in place. I have in the region of 600 hours and I would estimate about the same number of rig and dismantles to my name without damage or trailer rash.(other than by my own carelessness!)The aircraft had travelled hundreds of miles in this trailer, without the wings vertically restrained, (such vertical restraint on the trailing edge can result in damage from the "tie downs") mine are just pinned through the spars. However the trailer is a double axle with the axles load linked for smooth travel and the whole rig being so heavy has no chance of bouncing !

    Subject: Re: ...and another thing
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Duncan McFadyean" <ami@mcfadyean.freeserve.co.uk> Not quite correct Nigel. I've done two conventional gear conversions and they took 100 hours each; these did not include the shortcuts that were incorporated in the '6 or so' others. The 'inventive engineering' is already included in the design of the conversion and, whilst probably being over-engineered, provides a lighter undercarriage than the mono. The handling is, according to one Europa test pilot (who has his own mono), vastly improved. The gear leg that sheared was groundlooped in to long hummocky grass, resulting in the wheel digging-in laterally and side-loading the leg well beyond its FAR23-compliant design. At which point the handling would, as you say, become less easy! But try that with a mono and the outriggers may get damaged and/or the LG01 distorted. I do agree that the mono looks better in the air (with the wheel retracted), but there is no drag advantage (except in the landing configuration when the extended wheel provides a useful airbrake, reducing float).

I doubt it! David is a professional; I'm just a keen amateur. In any case, the speed of hte resin tends to drive the pace during the main elements of hte work. > Some of David's conversions were significantly heavier after completion. Probably because, by the time the aircraft was converted, it had gained weight through other means; as aircraft tend to do. There is little opportumity for variance in weight of the various components; the gear legs come out within ounces of each other, a resin-rich layup could add a pound or two, and there is some flexibility in the choice of wheels/brakes/tyres which could add a couple more pounds. > I did say that it was pilot error.

Then we are agreed that the conclusion you draw i.e. "......shows that it (ie the conversion) is not the answer..." does not follow from the debate and we should instead be talking about pilot training. I don't dispute that the taildragger conversion is still a taildragger and as such has a potential to groundloop, but I still await the day (300+ landings to date) that my converted Europa groundloops.
