Hi Ferg
I fitted the cable then trimmed of the surplus, it still leaves you adjustment
at the turbo end, for when the cable stretches, I also fitted a Ali cover over
the motor to stop any interference with nearby cables,

I was just re-reading the requirements for entering the U.S., all in
all a bit of a pain.
However, I wonder if anyone can suggest a G.A. friendly airport with
customs and preferably alternate runways and a restaurant
that would make for a nice day trip.
I'd be crossing over at Port Huron.

Dan,
You have to be logged in.
But do us a favour, wait until the move is done, bandwith and disk capacity are
still limited.
I hope to be able to announce the new home is a few days.

Gents
I'm in the process of making up the water (or hopefully just fuel) drain
mod for fitting to HI. I've made up the finger strainers and the manual says
that they can be soldered or reduxed. I tried to solder them but couldn't
really get the gauze clean enough to solder well enough that I was happy
there wouldn't be bits of solder wandering about on both sides of the Gauze.
I acquired another piece of gauze from Europa and this time, reduxed it
along the seam and around the end where its pinched onto the copper tube. My
question is, after soaking the unit in petrol for about 6 hours, the redux
doesn't appear to be 100 percent fuel resistant as it seems to have softened
(it was given about 72 hrs to cure). Does anyone know if Redux is OK for
permanent immersion in Mogas?
Thanks
Peter

Just an update:
We now have an official Transponder Prohibited Zone, covering about half
the country. Lelystad is within this TPZ. Most likely you will only fly
inside this TPZ.
Now, before you logically conclude that you don't need a mode S
transponder to cross the Netherlands, I hate to have to tell you that
carriage of a mode S transponder is still mandatory in the Netherlands.
You are only not allowed to turn it on.
Welcome to our wonderful country.

Pete=2C
I just pulled a tank out of an 8 year old Europa with Redux/Araldite/Epibon
d 420 A/B and it is holding up very well.
10% Ethynol Mogas can soften the outer layer just as it does most sealers l
ike Pro Seal=2C and the bond still holds at a 10% ratio. Keep in mind=2C t
hat Redux cured below 75F or until a full week will not be totally cured=2C
but will hold. Huntsman produces product data sheets with characteristic
reaction to chemicals.
My tests in the shop use the Redux to hold various acrylics/urethanes to te
st for fuel tubing=2C and the Redux holds up perfectly for me in a week lon
g test.
As for soldering=2C I use a scotch bright cleaning=2C flux and a torch to s
older=2C just like I do with copper water supply lines...No problem. But I
always use Redux to seat the gauze in the fuel fitting.

| Subject: | pitot tube connectors |
Guys...
I have carelessly allowed the barb on the pitot tube connector used at
the wing root to be snapped off...these are those cute little white
nylon male/female connectors. I need a replacement. I note in the
Acft. Spruce catalog an item which APPEARS to be the right part; a P/
N 05-01036 which is listed as a fuel line connector for 1/4" tubing.
Inasmuch as the actual hole in the barb and tubing supplied w/ the kit
is only about 1/16" diameter, I question whether this size would be
appropriate for use as part of a fuel system.
Before I order the replacement part, is there anyone who can verify
that the P/N above is the correct size for the pitot system?
Thankx,
Fred

Hi Fred,
I can't confirm that it is the correct part or not, but if it turns out that
it isn't then I think you can find what you need at McMaster Carr. Take a
look at:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/115/184/=1fnqwu
Which should be (if I haven't messed it up) page 183 of their catalog.
Also, when you get to plumbing up pitot static system I see that Stenair
have some really neat connector systems. See
http://www.steinair.com/pitot.htm

Fred=2C
The part is made by Colder Products Company (PC1701 and 1201 I believe) and
I stock them in sets as I go through them like water and use them many mor
e places. Some additional uses are: the manifold line=2C alternate static
sources=2C Dynon pitot tubes where I build them on to a panel for convenien
t access=2C altitude encoder for testing=2C etc.
Everybody should have a spare set and a spare static end for the pitot. Go
od insurance.
They are about $5.00 a set.
email me off line and I can get you some.

Since it looks like my kit is missing door hinges of any type, I'll have to get
some. I seem to remember talk of stronger hinges for the doors being spec'd out
at some point. Anyone have a vendor/part # handy?

Hi All,
I remember seeing something on here about a slight mod to the installation of the
bungee cord, something about cutting it into 2 pieces? Can't find anything
on it now, just wondering if there's anyone with more info on this and what the
benefit is of doing it.
Thanks,

I routed mine so the ends were ar the bottom. The ends are fixed
through eyebolts mounted on the top side of the mono leg. This enables
them to be adjusted for tension from below without removing the
firewall.
