Subject: | Re: How to best route wires to wing |
Hi Fred
Thx. for the reply.
"Given
the space above the spar provided by the wing root fairing, why would you
not go w/ the recommendation in the manual?"
I can agree
with what is recommended in manual for mypitot, static, and
can also follow suit with AOA and Stall warner tube locations.
My real question is with the high voltage wires for the strobe
system that I have never seen a factory recommended location for power
supply or wire run.
I have a Kunzleman strobe with one power
supply that is mounted in the fuse.
Running the high
voltage wires, even though they are shielded right next to the com coax
RG-400 cableI am not thrilled about. Thus if I mount power supply on
the starboard baggage rib, would need to run high voltage wires along seam
of fuse till forward of the rear of seats, then could go down and
out the suggested area Europa recommends for pitot and static
tubes.They would parallel my positive battery wire on the starboard
and the negative battery wire on the port side.
I could also
mount power supply just aft of the wheel well mud guard, but kind of a
pain to mount and running power in and high voltage out can be done,
but kinda labor intensive.
Or I can mount power supply on
the starboard baggage rib, easy to mount, easy to access and run high
voltage wires on the bottom of the baggage shelf outboard next to the fuse
and above the flap arm and make a very short run when it exits the front
face of the baggage bay shelf and run out of fuse slightly above and
slightly aft of the rear lift pin mounting pad. High voltage would be
clear of antenna and battery cables. This is what I am kinda thinking at
the moment.
I think it can be done without jeopardizing the
strength of the rear lift pin area in a meaningful way, but would feel a
lot better if someone else has experience doing this and not having rear
lift pin failure.

Subject: | Mod 64b - Revised Hi Top |
Hi,
I'm planning on doing Mod 64b in due course. I'm wondering how much to stick to
the manual ahead of this though as I can see the sizes of various parts being
wrong.
If the top half of the fuselage is raised by 2" at the front, what happens to the
following:
a. Rear Fuselage bulkhead.
b. Pitch Control Stop / Pushrod containment bulkhead.
c. Baggage Bay rear bulkhead.
d. Fuel Filler pipe.
I presume that if I build all of the above to the manual then none of them will
reach when the top goes on in the raised position. What have people done about
the items above or does the Mod 64b package include parts to adapt these?
Thanks,
Phil

Subject: | Dooor strut repositioning. |
I have recently bought the kit from Europa to reposition the gas strut
to cure the bulging at the top rear corner of the doors. It seems a
little OTT as it requires me to glue on a complete back section to the
door frame just to install the lug. I wondered if I might be able to
fabricate a small aluminium lug and rivet it onto the existing frame
instead to take the lower fixing for the gas strut? Any suggestions?

Hi Richard,
I thought the same and used about four inches of the section and cut most of
it down to blend it in. It has been fine so far.

Subject: | Re: Dooor strut repositioning. |
Richard,
Go to my website under accessories and tips. My solution is there.
It's been working for years. When Andy Draper looked at my mod, he
tried to make it perfect. It is unfortunate that it is perfectly heavy,
much heavier and harder to finish when complete...
Getting the geometry right is the key. I make a piece of aluminum that
is the length of a almost completely compressed strut ( 8 inches or so)
and use it as a guide. I am very big on jigs and fixtures which many
are not. Getting the clearances right takes some time. It takes me
about 3 hours to do the whole mod using super glue vice 5 minute...
Don't use superglue if the glass is in, just incase you get sloppy,
which is easy to do
Some are confused about the top hole for the ball stud, but it is easier
than I have stated in my instructions. Mark a line down the center of
the angle in the upper door recess. Measure out and down one inch.
Make a hole.

Hi Ira,
Sorry to hear that you will not fly to Sun N Fun. An option if you do
not enjoy the hustle and bustle on the main flight line is to put the
plane in the Home Built Camping area. It is not unusual to have planes
there with no tent.
Cheers, John

Subject: | Re: SnF-Update from Bud |
Hello All Again,
While Ira is coordinating the engineering meeting at Sun-n-Fun, I'm
working the not on the web folks who may not be aware of the fly-in.
I am making the list of folks normally not on the web and getting them
in the loop.
>From the Factory, to repeat my previous posting:
During Sun 'n Fun (April 21-26,2009) we plan the following:
Our site location is N-99 and 100 which is on the main thorough fare off
of building A.
We will have Homer Baker's (my first project) there with a motor glider
wing and display the new LSA wing prototype. If something unforeseen
happens we have backups.
Company Representatives are of course:
Dave Stanbridge, owner of Europa, now part of Swift Technology Group.
Mike McLean from Sales
John Wheeler from Sales
and Yours truly.
Jeff and Mary Behrens have committed to help as has Steve Pitt.
Jerry Hope is working to be there also.
I hope all our owners will be there for the week, weather, time and
business permitting.
We are in the final stages of coordinating our activities (fighter pilot
term: Getting our s--t together).
Rebecca Hanes from marketing and I have a great plan for the display as
well as new brochures, show price lists and handouts.
A Europa Forum to discuss where we are going is in the works (day to be
decided based on your attendance plans and the forum schedule).
Local "Engineering" meetings of course will occur almost daily.
Our print and electronic ads are in production both here and abroad. (In
the US you'll see the full page ads in Kitplanes, Sun-n-Fun magazine,
AvWeb, etc. for the show alone. More advertising to follow.)
Flights for prospective buyers and builders is not out of the question.
For those flying in, transportation to lodging can be coordinated with
me as I will have a vehicle on site.
In the past year, we are seeing buyers who were formerly sitting on the
fence for a number of years now coming forward to buy! Needless to say,
we are all happy, as you should be too.
I, of course, would love to see a full row of Europas at the show.
I will watch those coordinating with Ira and will make myself available
if you have special needs.
My job will be to bang the phone and contact our other owners Ira can't
reach through the web.
If you know a builder or owner in your area, team up for the event. The
more the merrier. Review the
www.sun-n-fun.org<http://www.sun-n-fun.org/> website for camping
considerations. They have a new website, and although it is still a
work in progress, they are working hard to get it together.
If you are sitting on the fence, come on down and bring sun screen
(Fighter pilot term: Get your s--t together, make a hole in your
schedule, and get some sun.) This is a great time and place to share
our building and flying experiences.
There is new excitement and optimism at Europa. Your support and
activities over these last few years is a large part of the why Europa
is turning around. I hope to see you all at the show.

Hi All,
All of this cold weather lately has me planning to attend SnF in sunny
Lakeland. I think it may be time to start planning a good old fashion
"Engineering" meeting of the sort familiar to generations of Flight
Crafters
and Custom Flight Creations alumni! Of course all are welcome.
Europa is planning a big presence at SnF this year. I don't yet know
their
schedule for events, but I'd like to invite Dave Stanbridge to the
party, er
meeting.
Anyone else planning to go this year?

Ron,
By chance, I'm wrestling w/ the same issues, but I had not thought
about the strobes before zapping off my curt reply.
I will be penetrating the fuselage aft of the spar for my strobe
wires. My large radius wing root fairings will enable the hole to be
outside of the rear lift pin reinforcement, though even without them,
I don't think a hole of the size we're talking about will have any
structural ramifications (but of course I do NOT speak from direct
experience).
My power supply will also be in the stbd baggage bay.
Good Luck,
Fred

Subject: | How to route pitot and static around wing flange? |
Just inserted port wing. The wing flange comes within 1/16" of the
fuse near the spar. Need to gonear the front lift pin before gap
gets wide enough to fit tubing. How are you supposed to get the pitot and
static lines above the wing flange so you can sneak them under fairing and
above spar?
Then once aft of spar, need to go far aft before
again there is enough space to sneak tubing down.
I am not too
keen on filing flange, but perhaps that is what is supposed to be done?
Or??
Thx.

A lot of companies are being nailed for noncompliance with export
regulations. McMaster-Carr had an encounter back in 2003, which is why I
think they stopped shipping to Canada and elsewhere.
The U.S. Department of Commerce announced today that McMaster-Carr Supply
Company (McMaster-Carr), an Elmhurst, Illinois supplier of industrial and
commercial hardware, has agreed to pay an $8,000 civil penalty to settle
allegations that McMaster-Carr committed eight violations of the antiboycott
provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security charged that
McMaster-Carr failed to report its receipt of boycott-related requests
within the time period required by the EAR. The alleged violations occurred
in eight transactions involving sales of goods from the United States to
Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
McMaster-Carr voluntarily disclosed the alleged violations to the
Department.

Allready some 3 years ago Finland was allready on the suspect list, at least an

Subject: | Europa First Flight Video |
Friends,
I have posted the video of the first flight of my Europa. For those
who did not receive the first announcement:
Wednesday, 2009 02 04, at 1845 hrs CST (0045Z) Europa Kit #A221
registered in the U.S.A. as N914XL took to flight for the first time
from Denton County Municipal Airport (KDTO), Denton, Texas. N914XL
was piloted most ably by Gary Platner, one of the finest pilots known
by the builder. Mr. Platner flew the aircraft for 15 minutes overhead
the airport performing a series of control tests as well as stalls
gear/flaps up and gear/flaps down. The stalls broke straight ahead
with no tendency to fall off to either side and the aircraft was in
proper trim at all speeds tested (up to 130 kts indicated).
Winds were from 150D at 5 kts gusting to 8 kts, temperature was 55F
(13C), altimeter setting 29.87.
The sun set before the builder was able to fly. It appears that I
shall be able to make my own first flight this weekend as the weather
has gone to p**p and it appears that it will remain such for the next
several days. When the weather improves sufficiently and I am able to
fly my own aircraft I will let you know. Until then, Here are the
videos posted on You Tube.

It's all because the 'Land of the Free' has become the 'Land of the Paranoi
d' quite some time ago. And of course a paradise for bureaucrats with unlim
ited budgets who have to find reasons for their existance.

Notwithstanding, McMaster is easily the best merchant I have ever dealt
with. I buy a lot of stuff from them for my research lab, and I find their

I can't gush enough about Mcmaster.
