At 42kg for 110hp and $18000 Australian it would seem like an excellent choice. craig 11:54 AM ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:55:27 AM PST US From: "David.Corbett" Subject: Europa-List: Zaon and Mode S Hello, Brian, Thanks for your update about your Zaon; 2 questions from your e-mail: 1 The Zaon website quotes (re the MRX) ".displays range and relative altitude." What about relative bearing - or do you have to look all around you (at the specified relative altitude) to find the target? 2 I have been following the Mode S saga quite closely; I am aware of the potential benefits of making sure that any Mode S unit you buy has 1090 mhz extended squitter (so that some day in the future you can link to ADS-B) - but I had not heard of TIS uplink. Can you tell us, please, what that does? Many thanks, David G-BZAM ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:16:26 AM PST US From: "Duncan & Ami McFadyean" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Hirth h30 engines Unlikely to be anything near as reliable as the 912 and will burn substantially more fuel. In the UK, the PFA as a matter of principle would not approve the use of 2-strokes in the Europa (excepting diesel 2-strokes!).

He has "blown up" three of the engines, all within 50 hours. Buyer beware.

It does not work in Europe as the ground based software is not loaded. I understand Garmin offered Eurocontrol to get it working for them. On my PA30 my 430 has a traffic screen display but it is dead. Usual Europe it is all take money off you and insist you spend lots to comply with their requirements - and of course they give nothing back!

Our engine continues to run after turning off the master switch and after remooving the ignition key! We have checked the earths (ones i can trace) and the wiring appears to be OK, I wonder if the switch (ACS) could perhaps be faulty, but before I replace with another would like any advice for what else I can check, or indeed if anyone has had similar problems? Engine is 80hp 912 and has done 300 hours. Thanks in advance to you all... rgds David J GBWON ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 11:54:49 AM PST US From: Gilles Thesee Subject: Re: Europa-List: Engine Run On David Joyce a crit : > Our engine continues to run after turning off the master switch and > after remooving the ignition key! > We have checked the earths (ones i can trace) and the wiring appears > to be OK, I wonder if the switch (ACS) could perhaps be faulty, but > before I replace with another would like any advice for what else I > can check, or indeed if anyone has had similar problems? > > Engine is 80hp 912 and has done 300 hours. David, What I did last spring before starting up a new Rotax installation, was check the mag switch with plugs removed, and looking for sparks when "on" and no spark when "off". Also you can disconnect the ACS switch, and check the terminals on the bench with your ohmmeter.

So much for globalisation and standards. Rgds, Alex, kit 529- in the process of being dusted off with a view to restart building soon. ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 03:17:45 PM PST US From: "Paul McAllister" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Engine Run On Hi David, I had this problem which would come and go. It ultimately turned out to be a broken wire on the ignition coil very close to the connector. It would "make / break" with engine vibration, sometimes the engine would shut down, other times it wouldn't depending on where the wire happened to settle.
