I am of course referring to the original Europa standard design, single string, rubber bungee. To achieve the necessary tension on this, to do the job, required considerable effort and required exposure to some degree of danger. For the tri gear there is of course no need to remove the fire bulkhead as they are located differently from the Mono. Using multiple loops of rubber or even better the steel springs overcomes this particular problem.

Hi Pete, you said: _____ Re tensioning the Mono bungee is easy easy compared with tightening the tri gear bungee. I wonder whose trigear you are referring to. The tri bungee is fully accessible from underneath, and re-tensioning it is a 20-minute job, but it is a 2-man job, unless one of the other solutions is used, i.e. springs or multiple separate loops.

Greetings to all from Kenya. Kenya Europa classic monowheel 5Y-LRY has been flying 10 years now (550 hours), and the retract bungee is getting tired. After takeoff and climbout at 70 knots the pressure on the flaps helps the retract process, but the retract lever needs a good shove into the forward recess. It would seem that changing the bungee is really quite a nightmare, and perhaps I can stave this off for a year or two by retensioning them (I have never done this before). Has anyone tried this? How much life can I expect on retensioning?

The CEO and chief designer often posts on VansAirforce message board. They seem to have a different and interesting approach to EFIS. People that have them seem to like them. Their website is also very good. http://www.vansairforce.com/community/index.php Jim Butcher N241BW Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=274068#274068 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
