Hi! Graham
Thanks for that ...all in the interests of safety. If Peter were to take
my advice he will make a new pivot spindle 1" longer and also use an
additional roll pin centered cross ways 1" below the original plus the
damn Loctite, then he's "cooking with gas".
However, I also gained the best training in the world at "Rush'em and
Rest'em" and Colin was one year ahead of me, I met him at the last PFA
Kemble Rally but I guess that all those years ago my reputation didn't
go before me ! He should remember Mick Capes (my Brother in Law)of his
year. Mick went on to Rolls Royce and Associates Raynesway, Nottingham
University and then up to Dounreay Naval Land Based Nuclear Submarine
Base for upwards of 20 years but retired suddenly without explanation
but has since had bowel cancer!!!!?
We have our suspicions as to what happened.
Happy days .....!
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG

that was Peter Curley, he recently bought Colin Smallwood's masterpiece
and is loving it. His landing at Tatenhill was a greaser he told me. I
explained the shimmy damper to him so he has been warned. I'm glad he
has made his first DOTH and started on the learning curve. Good pilot
and a good engineer, he was a RR man. (so was Colin, hence the
masterpiece)

More likely, or more probably start with poor training ;-)

I'm having to fit some stall strip on my plane to make the stall a
little more benign. It's not a Europa but I thought maybe someone on
this list could give me some tips an how to fit them, where, testing etc
Or is it just a case of stick em on and try things out?

Donated some of my rapidly shrinking stock of magic damping grease to
G-NESA this week. Seems most trigear drivers eventually come to that
conclusion. Haven't had to touch mine in the 2/3 years since I
greased it.
Thanks Richard for picking out such a good flying day.
Bob, did you know that your radio transmissions are very noisy?
Sounds like a 10 ish Hz buzz.

Hi! William
Yes I'm "on the case" of the radio,thanks, since the antennae is about
buggered due to mishaps pulling the a/c into the trailer and it is on
the belly. Mind you ATC don't seem to moan about it.
As soon as I'm grounded to attack the Transponder Mod S problem I'll be
returning to my di-pole one in the rudder since I now haven't a Jabiru
engine it may work better !
Regards
Bob H G-PTAG

Hi! Clive.
The Europa Build manual includes a mask for initial positioning of the
strips then you move them progressively up the inboard leading edge
about 1mm at a time and retest until you get the buffet where you want
it.
They are about 1/2" quadrant 6" long with the hypotenuse radiused
concave to fit snug on the leading edge profile about 12" from the
fuselage side.
Gives a good wake up call at the right time.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

The recent discussions about antenna siting and trim interference etc
prompted me to wonder if anyone has fitted the Morris Com Loop
Antenna in a Europa. It is suitable for installing inside any
composite tailcone where there is a roughly circular diameter of 31"
available unobstructed, and seems to be at least as good a compromise
as any of the other options. (I'm not an RF type, my electronic
experience is at AF, but what he says sounds plausible.)
I got the info about it from:
http://www.davemorris.com
but that was some time ago and the site may have changed.
Anyone have any experience or coments about it?
regards
Rowland

Rowland-
I have used loop antennas on other than VHF frequencies, and all he says is
correct.=C2- They work very well.=C2- I see no reason his antenna woul
dn't work fine for a Europa.=C2- If he still has the kit available, it ma
y be a quick, easy and cheap answer for some of us.
