| Subject: | Reamer available in "Free to a good home" |
I will contact you off list
Do Not archive
Hi Everyone,
Thanks to Gary Robert's generosity, we now have a hand reamer that can be
used to make the mandatory mod 72, strengthing of the undercarriage mounting
frame.
Here's the deal... I'll pay for the postage to whomever requests it first so
long as that person agrees to do the same for whomever needs it next. And so
on to the next person.
See the info with the mod attached in the "Free to a good home" section.

Paul,
I hope you will come back when life slows down enough for you to have the
time.
Take care, and Regards,

Subject: Europa-List: Farewell to N914PB
Hi all;
This will probably be my last email to the group. I've de-registered and
dismantled and sold off all the parts to N914PB. I can't afford the product
liability exposure to selling what was a completed a/c.
I appreciate all the camaraderie, brilliant engineering insight, and just
plain outright fun I've had with the amazing Europa.
Best of wishes to all of you,
Paul Boulet, De-registered N914PB
Malibu, CA

| Subject: | 914 Waste gate servo mounting position question |
Mike,
We have not seen similar problems on 914 installations, which are
different from the 912S. The key to look for are the spark plug wire
marker bands. On ours, the ones on the lower plugs quickly shriveled up
to a very thin, dark brown band that could no longer be read. If yours
are still yellow and readable, you do not have the kind of cooling issue
we had.
Having said that all installations are not the same, I still believe our
measurements gave a very strong indication that the gills are
counterproductive to engine cooling in flight.
Regards,
Terry Seaver

Subject: RE: Europa-List: 914 Waste gate servo mounting position
question
Bob and Terry,
I must say that I find the subject of Europa cooling most baffling
(pardon the pun). G-JULZ is constructed absolutely 'bog standard'
apart from the addition of the Singleton firewall. My 914 engine
pre-dates the later ducting and stuff that is fitted around the
cylinders. You may recall that I had the cooling issues in Switzerland
some years back which prompted me to lower the oil cooler from behind
the radiator. Since then my problem has been getting the engine up to
temperature to take-off - particularly in winter. It is true that the
Evans coolant had an adverse effect such that in a sustained climb
during the summer the engine temperature climbed quickly such that I had
to level off early to control the temperatures. I think that the heat
transfer properties of the Evans being less than that of water/glycol
was enough to push the cooling system beyond its capability on a hot
day. I am just completing the modification paperwork for my cowl flap
which may or may not have any effect - certainly these days - trying to
keep the engine temperatures up particularly in the cruise is the main
problem. CHT and Oil temperatures circa 60-70 degs C are not unusual
once established in the cruise. It is curious that some people have
major cooling issues and other people don't. Perhaps I am missing
something. I have just fitted a water temperature gauge which might
help identify any problems. In light of Terry's experience, I will be
watching the whole thing much more carefully.
Regards,
Mike

Subject: Europa-List: Official Europa-List Usage Guidelines
Dear Listers,
Please read over the Europa-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
Europa-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.matronics.com/FAQs/Europa-List.FAQ.html
Thank you,

Europa-List Usage Guidelines
***************************************************************************
***
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the Europa-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the Europa-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
Europa-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the Europa-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in"
the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!",
"I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are
better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
- Occasional posts by vendors or individuals who are regularly
subscribed to a given List are considered acceptable. Posts by
List members promoting their respective products or items for sale
should be of a friendly, informal nature, and should not resemble
a typical SPAM message. The List isn't about commercialism, but
is about sharing information and knowledge. This applies to
everyone, including those who provide products to the entire
community. Informal presentation and moderation should be the
operatives with respect to advertising on the Lists.

> Hi All, anyone tell me the tank size on a classic and the reserve please?
Having just recalibrated my tank with a defunct fuel sender removed so I
could see inside the tank during the process, the fuel starts crossing over
the saddle into the reserve at 9.2 litres, the reserve reached the saddle
level at approx 9 litres, at 20 litres I marked my sight glass as "Saddle
level" which is my Fly-no-Fly level. With careful filling, at near full
level, I can squeeze in 74 litres, a little over that it starts siphoning
out the vent line.
