Jacques,
Yes, it is similar. I think I actually used the hose on page 248 P/N 52515K22.
I used the same hose, larger diameter for the oil return from the bottom of the
Rotax to the oil tank.
I'll dig thru the old receipts today and get you the P/N.
Jim

Hi Jim
When you used McMaster hose, I imagine you used the american fittings they sell.
Did you do anything special when you screwed them into the metric pipe threads?
Sealant? Retapped?
Thx.

Hi Ron,
We also used American fittings to allow the use of stainless braided
brake lines from Summit Racing. We used an American standards pipe
thread tap to clean out the threads on the master and slave cylinders,
making sure not to get shavings into the parts. This has been very
reliable for 8 years now.

2 different coloured wires leave the engine to connect with the tacho
gauge. Does it matter which goes where? The rotax manual doesn't mention
it.
Thanks

Hi Folks,
They say the weather is getting better again toward the end of the
week, so Friday seems like a good day for a DOTH.
There don't appear to be any suitable freebies. I've been looking for
somewhere we haven't done ( at least recently ), and come up with
Nottingham
Apparently the cafe should be open - I've not been there before, so
can't offer any other comments. 1200ish.
Cheers, Paddy

| Subject: | Fuel hose warning!! |
Thought I'd better warn fellow Europa owners of an incident that
occurred yesterday with G-MFHI.
A couple of weeks ago, we replaced the sort sections of 1 inch fuel
hose that clamp onto the fuel tank outlets. When pre flight checking
the aeroplane yesterday, I could smell fuel but couldnt see anything
untoward by the time the ground crew had come over to pull it out,
fuel was pouring from the underside of the aeroplane at the rate of
about 3 or 4 litres a minute!
Once drained, I checked the hoses and found that one had almost
completely failed and the other was well on the way. The hose had
swollen and delaminated. It had swollen so much that the hose clip had
completely cut its way through the outer wall of the hose.
We had operated the aeroplane on Mogas without incident with the same
make and type of hose for over 4 years so can only suspect a defective
batch of hose may have made its way into the supply chain.
Europa are looking into it but, thought Id better let fellow owners
know just in case anyone else has recently changed these hose sections.

I've seen the same thing in older fuel tank outlet connecting hoses when the
outer got wet with Mogas coming from a leak elsewhere; I guess that the
outer covering of the tube is made from a different and non-resistant
compound than the inner liner. After drying out, normal service was resumed.
The same thing happens with many fuel hoses.

| Subject: | Overhauling Mono swing arm dampers |
Hi all,
I recently replaced the swing arm dampers on my monowheel. The aircraft has
accumulated about 800 hours over 4.5 hours and although they didn't seem to
need replacing, it just seemed like it was easier to do this while the
engine was off and the aircraft was a part.
I was wondering if anyone has looked into sending these back to Hagon for re
valving, or is this impractical / uneconomical ?
Regards, Paul

Hi Paddy
Now if you looking for a new destination, try this one.
http://www.lincsaviation.co.uk/flying_into_east_kirkby.cfm.
It is not very often we get a brand new airstrip to go to.
It is quite near to Nottingham, just under the Coningsby stub. I went
there a couple of weeks ago in my newly acquired monowheel. (Lovely
plane bought from Bryan )
Delightful. There is a Lancaster bomber. Spent 30 minutes inside her,
brilliant. Even a NAAFI serving nosh
Oh and to hear the 4 Merlins.......
Sadly cannot make Friday as I have to keep the economy going and only
seem to get away at week-ends
Enjoy
Regards
Bob Hitchcock GBYSA
