Don't try that on my 300 metre strip with no wind and at gross!

Subject: Europa-List: Bouncing Mono Classic
Hi All,
Although an avid reader of this forum rarely feel that I have something
that would contribute to the body of knowledge when you guys are so on
top of what you are doing. However =93bouncing mono classics=94 was
something that I was good at until it cost me a propeller (no change out
of =A31000).
My mono classic has the shock absorbers and the narrow tyre that never
rubs. It also has the brake calliper rotated to the back.
I run the Type at 18 to 24 psi.
After much deliberation and practice I get a slight skip 50% of the time
and grease it on about 45% of the time. The other 5% include =93go
arounds=94 and ones I would call =93untidy=94. This is a huge
improvement on
my original tally. The main thing is that I am now 95% confident on the
approach and enjoy the fact that it is unlikely to cost me another
propeller and if it does I will deserve it.
While I agree with everything people have said, the speed over the
threshold and landing is very, very critical. I talked to many an
instructor and I am very grateful to the one that came up with the
following. The speed on the round out should decay through =93the stall
speed plus 10% plus half the wind speed. I then add 10 kts to give the
threshold speed. My stall speed is 42Kts with full flaps, add 10% to
give 47kts (that=92s rounded up =BD a knot) and say, for example, a ten
knot
head wind component gives 52kts. Add ten knots to that and I should come
over the threshold with the speed decaying through 62kts. I normally
come down the approach at 70kts more if it is needed. I let the speed
decay the over the threshold at the calculated speed. At this point I
remove the remaining throttle slowly so that the round out is slightly
less violent. Sudden removal of all throttle requires a pronounced round
out which makes the timing of the manoeuvre very critical. Smooth
removal of throttle removes the need to round out so quickly. Round out
too quickly you don=92t get the high rate of sink required to sink
through
the ground effect with unfortunate consequences.
Wow that sounds really complicated but it is how I arrived at an easy
relationship with my aeroplane.
So when the controller gives me the wind speed, I think 47+ the half the
wind speed or it=92s head on component if it is very crosswind. Add 10
kts
and that=92s what I am aiming to be decaying through when I cross the
threshold. (I add a PUF check here (Pitch ' Undercarriage ' Flap)
After
that it is just practice. I used it in anger landing at Calais one day
with a 35kt wind and it resulted in an absolute greaser. In actual fact
the =93no wind=94 situation is more difficult and the formula works for
that
too.
I apologise if all this speed stuff is common knowledge but it wasn=92t
mentioned in any of the posts on the subject.
Happy Landings
Justin

| Subject: | Tank filler flange |
Hi
I'm building a Tri-gear XS from a kit dating back to 2001. I have the
filler cap but seem to be short of the filler flange that bonds into the
fuselage. Does anyone in the UK have one for sale?

| Subject: | Instrument module access cover - Fuses |
There is no fuse in there that would result in any catastrophy if it could not
be replaced. I have a main bus, and essential bus, and a battery bus. If a
fuse blows and it has been properly sized and tested for the circuit it deserves
to stay blown for the remainder of the flight. Something has gone wrong
and deserves to be troubleshot on the ground.

Hi! Raimo.
I have to somehow change my radio stack to accommodate my Mode S Transponder and
since it is the top unit it is out of sight from the engine side of my FWF removable
panel.
I expect that I will cut out a sizeable panel, construct some flanges and make
such a flap removable since my panel is not removable. I dont consider the Europa
Panel to be a structural item anyway and provided such cut out is re-enforced
I dont see a problem.

PS if Steve Hagar is reading this his reply re:- fuses in such a place concerns
me that he can access the fuses from the P1 position if he has to change one
in flight?

Strange! I have not but desided to do and it was just yesterday!
That is because I need access behind the radiorack and also because
my warning buzzers (stall and gear) are there I cannot hear them loud enough.
I am going to do a net covered acces hole and large enough for my hand.

Hi Group
Has anyone installed an instrument module access cover just to the left of the
tray on the curved vertical portion?
Any pictures / description what you did?
Thx.

Sorry Steve I read your item as if there were fuses in there. I can't

Hey Fellow Europa Folks,
Hope all are flying or building well. Question: for you that have put
wing walk on, how wide a path is best up the wing? ACS sell some that is
clear and is 16" x 30" and another variety that comes in 6" or 12" wide,
sold by the lineal foot. I was thinking of buying one of the 16" x 30"
and splitting it down the middle to do both wings. I think the clear or
translucent would be preferable to white or black. White would most
likely not be the matching shade to the white on the plane and black
would cook the wing. Thoughts?
