Subject: Europa-List: Off Topic - A trip to see a B707
Fellow Europaphiles,
A couple of weeks ago I said I was hoping to score a trip by Europa to
Longreach in Western Queensland to see the landing of QANTAS's first jet
aircraft.
Well the trip came off but the aircraft wasn't allowed to land . . .
the crew need more training! . . . . . yes we have them here too (a
delightful bureaucracy by the name of CASA)
Not to be put down, the aircraft was flown up from Sydney and did two
low passes and four approaches and go-arounds before returning to
Sydney. It is now to return for its final landing at the end of June
and will join its big brother, a B747-200 already on show near the
QANTAS Founders Museum.
My mates little 912 tri-gear took us for the 650 nm round trip in fine
style never missing a beat and burning no oil. I might say I was quite
pleased it didn't miss a beat too because we flew over heaps of very
inhospitable country for 25% of the way. Avg fuel burn was 13.9 LPH and
avg speed just over 100 kts.
Have attached a few photos for anyone who might be interested.
Pommies - again please note the weather in all photos. This is what I
expect in June when I'm in the UK.
Regards to all
Kingsley in Oz

William - apologies for the slow response. For starters, I'd
recommend the Europa Club website:
http://www.europacllub.org.uk
and then my own build website:
http://home.clara.net/rowil/aviation/
Both of the above have links to other builder sites. I hope soon to
be able to resume my own builld and get some more recent info in the
log on my pages.

The flavour of the tour will be unchanged: essentially it is a fairly
gentle trip allowing plenty of time to experience the delights of
France.
While most participants are experienced, it is the ideal trip for first
time cross-channel pilots and for wives who don't think that being in a
plane all day is what makes a perfect holiday!
We intend to include a visit to La Fert=E9 Alais where there is a
magnificent collection of old aircraft. Contact Bob

Not to mention the bubble-wrap and masking tape "insulation", nylon tie,
other cable conflicts and gobs of red insulating tape (also heat
stressed and burnt at the edges).
The "cowboy" standard of construction obviously leaves a lot to be
desired; but maybe it was "....... all the Inspector's fault....." (if
there was one)!

This is one of the 'gory photos' Willie referred to, taken of the hose
damage on an MCR-01 Banbi fitted with a 912.

Mike
Your timely warning reminds me of a similar but different problem
found on my 912ULS at last permit renewal. One of the coolant pipes was
found to be burnt by an exhaust downpipe. The damage was confined to the
heat shielding which had burnt right through and was about to burn
through the rubber hose. Basically, the hose routing was too close to
the downpipe - a previous owner had wrapped it up with heat shielding to
compensate. An extra reason why this was alarming was that a 912-engined
DynAir Banbi in the same hanger had recently suffered a complete loss of
coolant through an identical problem (the owner lived to tell the tale
but had his wallet lightened by an expensive engine rebuild). I believe
Mike Gregory has some gory photos of the damage.
Happy flying

Hi Guys,
For all Europa owners with Rotax 914.
Just preparing to incorporate Mod 72 and took the opportunity to have
a good look around. I found one of the oil pipes badly charred by No1
cylinder exhaust pipe. The pipe concerned is the one that connects the
oil cooler to the oil pump. Fortunately, when I installed the pipe I
fitted some heat shielding from 'Demon Tweaks' - the heat shield was
burned through and the pipe was just starting to be affected.
On initial installation the pipe did not touch the exhaust, so the
bend must have eased during use.
Looking at the installation, it seems that a slightly shorter pipe
after the bend where it connects to the oil pump should solve the
problem.
Hopefully, this is a one off and my aircraft is the only one affected.
But I thought all you chaps might like to know. It is worth a quick
look - a burst oil pipe in this position could be very dangerous.
Kind regards,
Mike Parkin (G-JULZ)
