I understand that Benwick have gone out of business, but I believe that some members of the forum have fitted such devices to their Europas. Can anyone suggest a source of a suitable transducer, preferably in GB? The range of flow rate that the Benwick measures is from 0.05 litres/min to 1.6 litres/min.

I was simply posting what I have done, and my observations on how well it "appears" to work, even when the source of the transmission is in the apparent worst location, in an attempt to answer some of the questions raised. For all I know the transmission qualities of the antenna I built will be very poor, with very high SWR that cannot be corrected making it totally useless , but not having a comm radio I can hook up to the antenna i wont know until I actually test it's transmit qualities. The whole thing took about 10 minutes to make, and cost about $5, maybe if you have a radio you can use you could make one and see if your results are simmilar to mine. BTW the wire I used for the loop is .7mm stainless 316 grade, from a MIG welder spool, I fashioned "clamps" to hold the wire from the brass inserts in an old light switch, that have the screws in them. I simply cut the co-axial cable to length stripped it back and soldered the outer copper braid to the outside of one of brass clamps, and the inner copper core to the other brass clamp, and then crimped the BNC connector on the other end of the cable. The stainless wire can then just be slipped into the brass clamp and the screws tightened. I did drill a small hole in the end of one of the brass clamps to allow the loop wire to pass right through, which should allow easy adjustment of the length of the loop to get the SWR as good as it can be. I dont expect the be buying any avionics until my baby is ready to fly, so if anyone has the time and a radio to test this I would love to hear from them, on or off list. craig ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:47:50 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Accommodation opening for Rough River From: Paul McAllister Hi All, I have a two bedroom cabin booked for the Rough River weekend and the folks we were going to share it with are not able to make it.

I am thinking to buy an Europa xs monowh eel with Jabiru 3300 and airmaster prop Constant Speed. Could somebody advi se me the expected performance ( cruise speed and consuption) and also any reference about this kind of engine compared with ROTAX ? It is a reiable engine ?

X-mailer: iAVMailScanner 1.5.7.1 The transducer you refer to was sold by RS Components. I just had a look and cant find it stocked anymore but I may have missed it. Ours had a RS part number attached on a foil label. If yours is still attached you may be able to get the part no. Cost from memory was about =A330.
