    Paul I used the Turbo boost gauge (manifold pressure) that I assume you have. I do have a spare gauge here Ian Rickard G-IANI XS Trigear, 200 hours Europa Club Mods Rep (Trigear) e-mail mods@europaclub.org.uk or direct g-iani@ntlworld.com

    "Danbish" She (Tuuli 8-yrs) is 1280 mm = 50,4" tall. Your treasure=B4s height and weight are superb for Europa=B4s back-seat passenger. An openable "Legacy" back seat window would be great for loading and back seat observers. BUT however so would be also one nice Lancair. At least my poor Europa has now all the equipments and gizmos what=B4s necessary. It=B4s empty weight is today 412 kg = 906 lbs and that=B4s definetely enough (only so far until I find something I cannot resist). By the way - "back-seat" is also quite comfortable also for (slim) adult. Look at an attachment - that brave maiden flight pilot is about 1750 mm = 69" tall (please do not tell him). Haven=B4t we all been there during construction phase?

    Paul Me too. That was fun. During building I really really made my best to keep it lightweight. Maximum sanding, squeezing, optimizing, making lightening holes, weighing 1/10 grams, being happy "hey I have an aileron w optimum weight" (I called Andy Draper 26. January 2000 and he stated "The Ideal weight of the umpainted aileron is around 1100 grams +/- 10%". I was so happy my ailerons were 1126 grams /stbd and 1150 grams /port. The truth is here: being light-weight or heavy is only because of all those "necessary" extra toys. And we add those toys because we like toys actually. If I am honest I relly do nothing with autopilot but flying w autopilot is very captivating. Maybe psychlogists among us know what=B4s behind - no toys during childhood or? And so what if person is happy! Let=B4s make a competition - what=B4s the fattest flying Europa=B4s empty weight in the universum!

I, like most builders worked really hard to keep the weight out of the airplane when building. It usually goes like saving 100 grams here and there and if the builder works really hard at it, maybe save a few kilo's, or if your lucky,even more. The easier solution would be to just go on a diet and take 3 or 5 kilograms out of my ass. Of course I could tell my wife that she needs to contribute to the cause and take 5 kilograms out of her ass as well, but I don't have a "Death wish". As you have said, changing for a lighter wife to go flying doesn't make sense.

    Frans, it is beautiful. I noticed - you are also (mostly) an analogue man like me. - you like also military style stick grips - you think black is not only possible colour for panel - you think all the serious machines must have some switches in the ceiling panel When watching those endless rowes of gauges it is like Howard Hughes=B4s H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose" panel... Attaches my panel pics "2007" and latter "2009" w some extras like Trio and Airmaster. Please share us her weight (they say fat ladies are more jovial than slender but I do not know because know only latter ones). And first competition apply is here: OH-XRT 412 kg 906 lbs. I am sure there are somewhere Europas w empty weight over 1000 lbs (or even 500 kg!).

I didn't weigh mine until after the horns were added and they came out at 2505g (starboard) and 2495g (port) which seems unbelievably heavy in comparison. I did weigh the lead weights before they were fitted to the horns and they were about 520g each, so subtracting 2 of those gives about 1460g for the aileron structure without the lead. My flaps seem pretty heavy too - they are 3285g (starboard) and 3225g (port). None of the above are profiled or painted yet, they are just as laid up, with the peel-ply removed.

    Row - take it easy! That "ideal weight for ailerons" was - just after removing peel ply - before horns - before mass balances and even - before hinges! I am sure your ailerons are first class and strong enough. I could not find easily "ideal weights" or "my weights" for the flaps but I have a memory they were around 2500 grams WITHOUT hinges again. I think some kind of the proof of the high quality workmanship is that your weights between port and stbd-side flaps and ailerons are so near with each others ( flaps 3285g and 3225g - that means less than 2%, ailerons at 2505g and 2495g, that means less than 0,4% !!!). Instead of that I found a rudder weight. That was 1813 grams WITH rudder horn but before surface (and Mr Neville Eyre stated 1/12/1999 1800 grams would be ideal and sooooo happy I were). Are you happy now?

Not too bad. I'm sure I will exceed this. What engine do you have?

It is now 2905g with hinges fitted and horn in LE for pushrod control. I think I applied the Schwabellack gel-coat about 5 times and rubbed almost all of it off again before discovering where to STOP rubbing!

My reasons (almost free order): 1) style 2) traditions 3) readability because of analogue (not necessary to know rpms are 5037 but little over 5000) 4) readability because of "what more sun that more visibility" 5) reliability because old and proven technic 6) reliability because they are separated 7) reliability because they work by electric and air 8) when (2006) I made decisions I thought glass is not "ready" and I did not liked to be a test rabbit 9) sounds grazy but I wanted to use money (yes - an el. horizon was more than Dynon but do not tell to my wife) 10) to have "round gauges" do not prevent to have also glass - I have a little Dynon in a specific place 11) to have round gauges is also for me a wild choise because of my business w PC programmed moving signs 12) I wanted to do something against known main waves 13) possibility because there are so few really necessary different information what you must get in CVFR GA - that means I had panel space enough and you Frans have stated there is possibility to have much much more 14) I do understand what happens inside round gauges 15) round gauges are "forever" / easily changeable /serviceable - glass companies can easily fly tomorrow to the sky and what then? 16) to write this kind of lists > > > - you like also military style stick grips > > Well, these things have actually too much of a "plastic" impression to > my taste, but I find it convenient to have the autopilot-disengage, > trim, flaps, prop-mode and PTT all within reach, and save my other hand > for the panel, throttle and brakes (or foods or drinks ;-) ). : Frans: when there is nothing anymore to improve our Europas - lets plan to make aluminium custom made experimental stick grips - like in Hornet F18s but much lighter > > > - you think all the serious machines must have some switches in the ceiling panel > > ;-) ;-) Actually I have a good excuse for this: these switches control > the strobes, position lights, and a few other things which control > things that are in the back of the airplane or the ceiling itself.

Two of them have (very illegal - so illegal that I cannot publish so far) plans for future winters. Just one is so far extra.

But I have still "a silver medal". My enlightened guess is your weight will be +420 kg /924 lbs - lets see. I have 912S with many extras like water heated carburrettors and so. My main sin was a painting for ever - I spent over 20 liters to paint she + all those UV-lacquers layers. Also - leather interior could easily be many kilos lighter - it took three fullgrown hartebeestskin to complete it. Raimo OH-XRT Email Forum - > > > >

That was because I HAD NO IDEA WHATS THE QUALITY OF MY WORK. Could you imagine the situation to be *only one* in the country building Europa or even ANY composite plane? I promise that was a lonely man project. You englismen will find almost a nearest village and a nearest Europa builder is there - is not that so? Anyway - I do think "ideal weights" come "automatically" after a good workmanship. You have proved it. Me too. That is because weldone manual - thanks to Europa factory, Andy and Nev I think.

    Raimo, > My reasons (almost free order): > 9) sounds grazy but I wanted to use money (yes - an el. horizon was more than Dynon but do not tell to my wife) Well, I agree with almost every single point, except for this one. Got a marvel from eBay, a nice coloured attitude indicator from some airliner, fully overhauled, has been stored in a controlled environment, and when the company decided to go to glass, they sold the whole lot. Got it for 100$, looks like new, is like new. Has a fast erect/cage button. I only had to build a 3-phase 400Hz 115VAC inverter to run these kind of things, and with its own weight of 200 grams it is not too bad. Power consumption is very reasonable with 3 Amps during spool up of the gyro, and 0.6 Amps when fully established up to speed. Apart from the good reliability/affordability ratio, I also had tremendous fun experimenting with all this stuff. ;-) > Frans: when there is nothing anymore to improve our Europas - lets plan to make aluminium custom made experimental stick grips - like in Hornet F18s but much lighter Good idea! > My 5 switches are all illegal: two of them have a specific purpose (which is illegal but fun). > Two of them have (very illegal - so illegal that I cannot publish so far) plans for future winters. > Just one is so far extra. But I promise some day it also will be strightly illegal. Oww. I envision another contest: what illegal features can you put into your airplane? 1) Sound! Yell to the neighbours. Or fly low over a crowded street and emit a machine gun sound and see what happens. Gives a whole new dimension to flying! The possibilities are endless, and for sure a source of great fun. 2) A fuel dump. When you have to make a forced landing, better get rid of the fuel first. Probably illegal, but might save your life. 3) A dropping bay. For water balloons (very innocent), paint balloons (somewhat less innocent) or possibly even less innocent stuff. But you have still more switches. What am I missing? > Frans: a little tip for you. Do paint your pedals to black. > So they disappear nicely.

Well, here I tried to use the leather tactically, only on places where you can see it. The black stuff (on the ceiling, and most of the bagage bay) is very light weight. -- Frans Veldman
