Yes. That is an original factory trailer and I bought it from Germany
almost as unused.
BTW it=B4s price was just 100 euros - do not ask why.
I made some mods like those wing cradles and what=B4s most important,
a second axle. I think that is a must like an insurance! It is quite
usual to see a trailer beside road
and it has lost one tire and a serious accident has followed.
I asked myself what will happen to my Europa omboard on the trailer and
such a thing happen?
We have dual filters, accus, ignitions, radios etc. to make our day -
trailer w 2nd axle was the 1st in my safety list.
As we know - road traffic to and from the airport is dangerous and the
most riskiest part of flying...
Later I add also a full floor to prevent shit, sand, mud and water to
spoil my plane when trailering it.
Attached a photo - maybe the floor is visible.

Raimo,
Very informative post...thank you.
I've experienced the very thing your twin axles can handle. On a
Sunday afternoon, 100 miles from Nowhere, I shredded a trailer tire
after the wheel bearing failed while towing a glider. With no
available service for repairs, I was able to continue at reduced
speed, all the way home with 2 axles and 3 wheels...my glider was,
however, much lighter weight than our XSs.
I also like your floor and multiple signs, reflectors, etc. to protect
your ship.
Fred

Equipping my Europa -
Trying to complete an already tardy project, I emailed McMaster-Carr,
ordering some pretty hot stuff - a package of wire terminals, #8 wire for
#12 holes 7036K12 I think. I trusted them with my address, credit card and
telephone number....
Here's what I got back:
"Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing
complexity of United States export regulations, McMaster-Carr will only
process orders from a few long-established customers in Canada. We
sincerely regret any inconvenience this causes you. Thank you,
David Ulam, McMaster-Carr Supply Co 330-995-5929"
Not bad for a 21-year fighter pilot who spent 8 years cruising the
skies waiting for Russki bombers to attack the U.S.A. , a neighbouring
country.- i.e: NORAD [North America Air Defence]. Must be
Loooong-established customers, because I've been ordering since 1997.

Frans,
You said:
"You can connect this [12V point "C"] directly to the adjacent connector
('B' or 'R', which carries the actual output)............but a more correct
way is to connect it directly to the battery......."
At the bottom of page78 of the Install 914F manual/1996 05 10,
titled "Requirements for flawless operation of the rectifier-regulator". The
fifth item states "never sever connection between terminal C and +B of
regulator e.g. by removal of a fuse".
Or these two quotes mutually acceptable, or have I misinterpreted
the meaning. I don't mean by removing a fuse, but separating C and +B on the
regulator? I suppose I should scan the electric circuit of the regulator but
I'm lazy.
Cheers, Ferg

Ferg,
Send me a list of part numbers you want and I will order it and
forward it along to you.

Consider B and R of the output of the regulator, and C as the sensor
wire, which measures the output voltage. You can connect them together
of course, and it will more or less work as intended. However, there is
always a small voltage loss over the cable from the regulator to the
battery. This means that the battery will get slightly less than
intended. So, by hooking the sensor wire (C) directly to the battery,
the regulator will automatically compensate for cable losses, because it
tries to keep the voltage at C constant. (That's why we call it a
regulator). Some my wonder if the cable attached to C won't have losses
by itself and defeat the purpose. The answer is No, because there is no
current in the cable attached to C. Put Ohm's law into the equation, and
you will see that without current, there won't be any cable loss. The
output of the regulator however will provide all the power to the ship,
so cable losses are at that point quite high. So, by connecting the
sensor wire at the battery, the regulator will keep the voltage at the
battery constant, regardless of cable losses.

What they mean is that you should keep the sensor (C wire) always
somehow connected to the output of the regulator. But not necessarily
via the shortest route. It is logical if you think about it, if you were
to disconnect the sensor wire completely, the regulator would measure a
very low voltage (zero) and crank up the voltage at B and R untill it
measures the correct voltage, which will never happen in that situation.
If the manufacturer intended to keep C and B and R always connected via
the shortest route, he would have done this internally and not bothered
to make them available via separate pins.

My outburst was 'off topic' and I apologise. The insolence of the
wording rang my bell and the net served to put my gall back in place and my
blood pressure into nature's range once more.
I mean no anger at the many buddies from the Great Republic and
should not have sounded off - but I'm amazed at the reaction I've stirred.
To the several friends who offered to acquire my meager bits for me - thanks
so much - it meant a lot but I didn't want you to get caught up should my
strange demands (three spring plungers of a certain size) to ring a bell
with the Homeland Security Mazen whose strange upbringing has sharpened the
sting..
What's happened is I met a person whose job it is to circumvent the
eerie outpourings of this nervous cadre and he has promised to acquire every
little need by burying it in a bundle without which the Meddlesome Minions
cannot exist - no more detail than that. I thought to attach my order to the
next barrel of oil sands fluid bound for the border but this alternative is
far more satisfying.
What a great bunch these Europa cousins are!
Cheers, Ferg
