Europaphiles,
Thanks muchly to all who replied to my call for help. Many good
ideas. I'll be sorting out those parts that seem to work best for my
installation. Keep an eye on my build diary and you'll see where it
all leads. Pics will be posted this evening of todays work.
Good building and great flying,

Looking at Jos' and Graham's fuel system pics I noticed bulkhead AN fittings
in several places. What method is used to install these in the Europa?
Thanks for the insight!

the best way to set up the wings is to first fix the left wing as
specified in the plans. Now, the right wing needs to be set so that the
incidence at the outer end of the flap is identical, this is the part of
the wing that will cause roll if its not right, the wing root doesn't
really matter with respect to roll... You need a second incidence board
for this part of the wing. I use a Vee to locate the nose radius of the
wing section and a ramp to locate the top of the trailing edge. In other
words a reference for the incidence of the airfoil section. (I hope this
is making sense :-D ) Just be sure that the two wings agree at the tips
of the flaps.
You can safely knock off the incidence boards as soon as you have the
left wing incidence set on the fuselage.

Graham,
Was this in the manual or did I forget that I did it so many years ago? (I
am referring to using a second set of boards to check at the flap end
station). I'm thinking it was not and things aren't as good as they could
have been on my plane. Annoying....

Hi D,
Not quite sure what you are asking for.
Using a spanner is probably not the right answer?
Sealing where needed was done with redux.

Hi all,
Some time ago I read on the forum and idea of providing backup fuel tank
vent by using a one way value inside the cabin. Does anyone recollect who
that was, and even better, what type of valve was used.
Thanks,

Hello Paul
"Does anyone recollect who that was, and even better, what type of valve
was used."
Try:
http://www.mcmaster.com/
search 1 way valve
read about check valves
Order a few different types and let us know which one you like.
Take a look below at:
Nylon Body with Viton Diaphragm
PVDF Body with Viton Diaphragm
Crack pressure is under 1 PSI, I don't have a feeling just how low a crack
pressure you want. A 1 liter soda bottle with a hole in it to stick in
place a tygon tube connected to your 1 way, and suck on threaded end
should give you a very good feel for what you want.
Once you select a good crack pressure put it in a bottle for a while with
Mogas, and another with 100LL, then check function again. After fuel test
let bake in sun for a while on the dash of your car for a week and try
again.
We know Viton is probably good. Nylon you see being used in fuel systems,
but you need to be careful as there are different types of nylon. PVDF I
am not familiar with, but think it is well worth a $11.05 test.

--> Europa-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers (Specifically Comcast Listers),
For about the last two days, Comcast was blocking incoming email from the Matronics
Email Lists because their spam filters thought the mail was spam. I was
able to finally get them to lift the block about 3pm PST 10/29/2006 and it appears
that people on Comcast are receiving List messages again.
If you are a Comcast user, you might want to email them and express your displeasure
with their Spam blocking policy, particularly as it relates to "matronics.com".
Sorry for the hassle...

You need to buy the bulkhead fitting, elbow and the nut and a couple of
washers, they are all listed in the ACS catalog.
You will need a flaring tool to fit the aluminum pipe. Best to borrow
one from your local A&P or your tech councillor
