I found that mine would latch quite happily when the plane was up on blocks, but in the air I didn't get the reassuring 'clunk' until I slowed down to nearer landing speed. Backwards force on the outriggers is proportional to square of the airspeed. Testing on the ground they seemed to be fine, but not if you pulled them back as the gear went down. Bit of adjustment and now they are fine.

I'm wondering if the down latch springs are getting tired after 6 yrs or so? Glenn ____________________________________ From: air.guerner@orange.fr Subject: Europa-List: Unlatched outrigger Hi Nigel, It would be of high interest for all monowheel operators to know the root cause of your mishap. As long as the reason is not identified it may happen to you again! I believe there should be a way to reproduce the unlatched outrigger problem on the ground and find out what is wrong in your outrigger mechanism. Best regards Remi Guerner F-PGKL > I have had an incident with my Europa (G-MIME) due to an outrigger not > being latched down for landing.

Nigel, Have you managed to ascertain why your Outrigger failed to latched. Await your judgement. Peter. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:42:42 AM PST US From: "John and Amy Eckel" Subject: Europa-List: Europa kit for sale My Europa XS tri-gear is for sale.

Fly-In From: "Roger Lee" Ok Guys and Gals, Here is the important info. You are all invited to our fun trip. We will fly Marble Canyon, Grand Canyon, lake Powell, Monument Valley and Bryce Canyon. This is a fun bunch of people and everybody gets along and is friendly. We have a special rate at the same place we stayed last year. Tell them you are with the "CT Group" and the rate is $49 a night. We will arrive Thursday morning, Oct. 16th. and head home Oct. 19th. Sunday morning. Best Western Arizona Inn 716 Rim View Dr. Page, Az. 800-826-2718 928-645-2456 We will fly into the Page airport - KPGA. We are staying with the Classic FBO and with our group we should get a .30 cent discount on fuel. Classic is not the first FBO next to the runway, but the second one behind them. The Antelope Canyon tour is open if anyone wants. This is a land tour. I did some checking for those who are interested. We can take a Lake Powell lake tour by boat.. One is an evening dinner tour. It is 2.5 hours and serves Prime rib or Lasagna. It cost $87.67 per person. The other one is a boat tour that last 3 hours and goes through some famous canyons, the Navajo Tapestry tour. It cost $63.52. Orrrr we can rent 19" power boats our selves and take them out and explore the lake and fingers. The cost of the boat is $325 a day (8am-5pm). They hold eight people and this is only $40 a person. Any of the boat items they would like a 24 hour notice. These are only some ideas that I checked on. We don't have to do them and if only some want to do them that is ok. You guys are welcome to invite other planes that are not CT's and everyone is welcome. Find some more LSA's. _________________ Roger Lee Tucson, Az. Light Sport Repairman - Maint. Rated Rotax Service Center (520) 574-1080 -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

I haven't seen any discussion of the best location for the microswitch, but my belief is that it should be on the OR7B step, with the switch tab facing OR5 arm. I have not installed it yet, but attached is a couple of diagrams of what I am planning to do. Please let me know your thoughts. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:51:22 PM PST US From: "JR Gowing" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Unlatched outrigger Dear Andrew Great clear photos, and at first read it looks excellent advice.
