Hi Frans,
some thoughts more:
With "moveable device" there is no trailer insurance at all - towing cars insurance
covers everything.you need in traffic. Aircrafts hull insurance covers nothing
when in public road and an accident happens.
And you are probably right: if somebody hits your plane by his car - they will
claim it was your (trailers and planes) fault. And I do understand. Many drivers
when they notice A PLANE ON THE ROAD just forget they are drivers and only
looked with bulging eyes this amazing sight they have never seen before.
I have taken an extra insurance which covers my plane everytime I move it from
my home via specified and named route to the airport (that is about 20 km).
I use only small roads and my strong recommendation is - avoid highways and motorways
if possible!
I never tow without a "safety" car of my friend following just behind the trailer.
He is watching everything is ok and "protecting" my plane - nobody can drive between
he and plane.
That is very valuable: once he called me that trailers (monowheel) ramp has dropped
down and plane was just moving anxiously between the wings. Only the tail
wheel lock keeped it there. Happily I had sideguards there and no damages. Later
I completed ramp security locks. Without safety car...I do not want even imagine
what could have happen.
For extra safety I stop every 5 to 10 km to check all is OK.
As I wrote I feel trailering is the most riskiest part of flying (to damage the
plane). At least for me it has been so.
Tow safe.

| Subject: | Fuel return line attachment point with 912UL |
I am just returning from a wonderfull two week vacation in Florida. It
was a pleasure to meet with all Europaers at SnF.
That is why I am so late to add my contribution to this thread.
After installation of my 912S engine back in 2005, I made some
measurements of the return flow using a stopwatch and a calibrated
plastic can receiving the returned fuel. This was done on the ground
with the engine stopped and the electric pump on. This is what I found:
- with the .7 millimeter restrictor supplied by Europa: 12 liters/hour
with fuel pressure 4 PSI
- with a .35 millimeter restrictor as specified by Rotax: 3,5
liters/hour with fuel pressure 4,8 PSI
>From my records, the following in flight fuel pressures (with the
electric fuel pump off) were measured:
- with the .7 millimeter restrictor, cruising at 7500 ft: 3 PSI
- with the .35 millimeter restrictor, cruising at 2000-3000 ft: 3,2 to
3,8 PSI
- with the .35 millimeter restrictor, cruising at 11500-12000 ft: 3,5
PSI
Due to the lower fuel pressures recorded in flight, I assume the return
flow is lower than what I measured on the ground.
This seems to be consistent with what Svein measured below.
Hope that helps.

<<<<If you use the standard Europa supplied restrictor in the fuel
return line
from 912S, the return flow is an amazingly high 10 liters (approx) / a
little less than 3 USG per hour even with full fuel tank pressure head
on
the return line. >>>>>>

Remi, Good to hear from you and will look forward to seeing you there
tomorrow. We are currently 5 planes, 4 Europas & 1 RV4. Our aim is to arrive
around 12.15 local time and we have booked to lunch aux Pecheurs d'Etaples,
rather than cycling into Le Touquet, and have booked for 1300 local. If you
would like to join us can I suggest you ring them and ask them to enlarge
the table for you? ( www.auxpecheursdetaples.fr/ )
Regards, David

Subject: Europa-List: apologies for card processing problems
My apologies to all those who've been
encountering problems with processing of card
payments on the Europa Club website since about
26th April, when the new faster servers went
online.
I think all those affected are:
Bob Gowing
Bob Borger
Jan Elmn
Kent Svensson
Herbert Habersatter
Greg Fuchs
Kingsley Hurst
Arnold Hansen
Chris Staines
Peter Hodgson
yvind Aasgaard
I neglected to update some vital server addresses
at changeover time and that caused card
transactions to fail.
I have now corrected the necessary files and
checked that the transaction mechanism is
working, so it should be OK to try again.
I'm sorry I didn't spot this issue sooner and
take prior action to prevent all the trouble
people have experienced.
You may have noticed that the payment processing
firm is in process of changing its name from
Protx to Sage Pay - the appropriate parts of the
Europa Club website will be updated to match in
due course.
regards
Rowland

Apologies for tagging onto this thread, but has anybody out there had any
experience with connecting capacitance probes to a dynon 180?
The Dynon requires a 0-5 volt varying input and the probes are capacitance
type from Pete at Airworld ie resistive type. Dynon have advised their
resistance to voltage converter is not suitable and Pete says dynon should
know?!
I know some of you are worldly wise in the electrics side and might have
encountered this one and I don't want additional analogue gauges.
Any advice would be appreciated
