Hi Folks,
The only day I can do this week is Tuesday. The weather looks
workable, especially earlier rather than later, so how about a DOTH
to Shobdon. Voucher in Pilot - 1200ish.
All the Best, Paddy

Hello, Bob,
Here are 2 pics of my jack, developed from a French Europa owner's wooden
design shown in a very early Europa Flyer, the Europa Club magazine.

Willie and all,
What I surmise is that the alignment of the muffler is the culprit.
Since the #s 1 & 3 are catty-cornered from each other and neither has an
adjustable link, one tends to stand off the muffler if the #1 pipe is
not perfectly adjusted. This situation is what caused the exhaust leak
on Baby Blue, which ultimately overheated the ignition coils and caused
the rough running incident I encountered.
What I see happening is this: The ball end of the pipe is not fully
seated into the muffler, allowing the pipe to vibrate and setting up a
resonation which ultimately leads to the cracks. I may be totally off
base, here, but it makes sense to me...

Thank you Steve,
Apparently the cause is a defective weld.
Best regards

I'm intending to fit aluminium pipe (and braided nitrile) instead of
the smelly rubber stuff and am trying to plan the pipe runs from the
fuel selector area back to the fuel pump. It seems wise to put the
aluminium pipes in before I stick down the cockpit module, although
the manual leaves it to much later for the rubber pipes.
The picture on page 6-4 of the 912 FWF manual seems to show that the
pipe from the selector goes back near the fuselage floor (or perhaps
higher up at the port side of the tunnel), and that the pipe coming
forward from the pump runs near the top of the tunnel through the
tank.
I guess this is all in line with the philosophy of a gradually-rising
pipe from tank to engine - but obviously it can't quite adhere to
that throughout.
I don't want to clip a pipe in a position where it will get in the
way of stuff to be installed later such as the flap actuation
mechanism.
I plan to install an Andair gascolator, and the obvious place where
there is some room for that is alongside the pump.
Does anyone have any advice or comments about:
(a) the routing of aluminium pipes from the selector area to the pump;
(b) the location of an Andair 375 gascolator.
Are there any pictures online of the SS502 / 40106 pump (apparently a
Facet item) or an Andair 375 gascolator installation for a 912s?
regards
Rowland

She flew well, basic stall at 48kts wings level, 38kts with flap gear and
power and an accompanying left wing drop, envelope to be explored
Temps and pressures all good
Well worth the effort and a special thanks to all those that assisted with
