I am proud to announce that G-CHOX took to the skies at Blackbushe at
3pm on Thursday 20th December for its maiden flight in the very capable
hands of Pete Jeffers. The viz was very poor so we had to be content
with a couple of circuits. No major problems experienced.
Kit 566 has taken 5 years to build and I must thank my co builders Ian
Swankie and more recently Goff Moore for tolerating my moods. Also
thanks to Ian Rickard, an invaluable source of help and remedies, Terry
Clark for being himself, Barry Goldsack our always obliging instructor
and Pete Jeffers, our test pilot who oozes confidence.
Just another 4.75 hours before we get a go!

Peter,
Congratulations! Now a different period begins, where you have to un-learn to find
your way to the workshop and learn to take time to fly, whenever the conditions
are good. Wish you lots of happy flying hours,
Regards,

Subject: | Wing root wiring |
Hi All,
I have installed Whelen strobe and position lights on the wingtips of my
XS mono. I installed the strobe "box" under the baggage bay. Now I need
to wire it from the wing root to switches on the panel and to the strobe
box in back.
I am looking for advice on where in the fuse at the wing root to route
the wiring. The wires come out of the wing root aft of the spar. I have
a space under the door sill to route wires. I am just trying to decide
on a good method and placement for the connection at the wing root, and
routing the strobe cable back to the box.
Happy Holidays, Kevin

Subject: | Re: Wing root wiring |
Kevin,
FWIW, I routed the power wiring from the panel, down the starboard
side under the door sill and straight back along the fuselage through
the baggage bay bulkhead and on to the power supply. I did this
because all my antenna cables route under the port door sill and I
wanted to keep the antenna wires as far as possible from the power
wiring. I run the power from the power supply to the wings under the
baggage bay floor and out the front into the "well" area between the
baggage bay front and seat back. From there through the fuselage
into the wing root area. I then connect the wiring to trailer wiring
plugs as recommended by 'Lectric Bob Nuckolls. You can go to my
build web page, thence to the last album (Y6 Q4 2007), page 2 bottom
for pics of the external setup. This shows where the wiring exits
the fuselage and the connectors used there and on the wing roots.
There are additional pics of the internal set-up in earlier build
albums.
Let me know if you need further clarification.
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger

Congratulations Peter from 'down under' here in New Zealand. Great to hear
of another Europa flying the nest.
If any Europa builder is coming our way please contact me for a fly around
the New Zealand countryside. Just been down to the World Gliding
Championships in Omarama with ZK-TIM and everyone was asking me where the
glider wings were!! Unfortunately they were not flying that day in respect
to a German glider pilot having a fatal accident the day before.
Happy Christmas to you all and all the best for the new year.
Cheers,
Tim
ZK-TIM Monowheel classic 150 hours and loving it!
