Troy, I second Jim Brown's advice. I have found that an 10 ft length of soft
1/2" rope with loops on the ends to go over the axle extensions, and with a
knot joining the two limbs of the rope about a foot from their ends, works
very well. Weighs very little and tosses in the back without risking damage
to the structure

Hi All,
I want to get a tow bar for the tail wheel of my monowheel classic, but it
has the XS tailwheel design. Can anyone direct me to one that is
light-weight, collapsible, and reasonably priced. I am in the USA.

| Subject: | Re: Flap cross tube |
thanks to everyone
I looked at the SB which stipulates a max of 15mm between the root and
the cross tube bearing at full deflection at which point the minimum pin
engagement is 10mm on a 1" length flap drive pin.
By moving my tube to the right at full deflection so that the distance
between bearing and root face is 11mm my hinge brackets are positioned
with the 3/16 hole center not less than 1/2 from the edge of the hard
point which I would guess is adequate.
As to why this has occurred I am not really too sure. the root of one
of the wings is slightly further away from the fuselage than the other.
Given that the spar alignment bush holes are pre-drilled I assumed that
this is normal...

Hi Steve,
I have just replied to Carlos off list. I know him as he flies from our
local airfield Viseau in an RV6 and a Long eeze. I only mailed him to say hi
as I've only just finished mine and have no intention of selling it! I did
say I would be pleased to help look one out for him if he wished.
Looking forward to flying my mono there in the spring, already done the
flight plan!

Hi there
My name is Carlos and I'm searching an used Europa Trigear for our local
Aero Club in Viseu, Portugal (LPVZ). http://www.acv.pt.vu
We'd like to find a Trigear with a Rotax 912S.
I understand it will be easy to operate and cheap to maintain. Maybe one of
the best options to keep ourselves flying more often.
Could you help me on this? Thanks

Troy,
Yes, there's a great tow bar made by Bogert AViation. It's called the
Bogi-Bar. Raimo recommended it to me.
Go to my gallery, Year #7, Q4, 2008 and you should see some pics and
there is complete contact information and a 2 year old price.
It is light & collapsable. You can decide if the price is reasonable.
Check six,

Mono is also pushable by BogiB.
That is practical when maneuvering.

Augustene purchased some nylon straping 1/2 inch wide about 8
foot long.From Lowes I think. She made about 1 inch loop on each end.. I
extened the tail wheel axel so that I had a place to hang the loops on.
Then all you need to do is pick up the strap and pull. The plane will
follow where ever you go When done take the strap, fold it up, and put
in the baggage compartment.
I'll take couple pictures and send to you next time I,m at the
hanger this week.

this may be a stupid question, but you have done the lift / drag socket
install, to fix the alignment wings/fuse, if so and its the port side wing
that is closer by about 10mm, then yes there seem to be a few kits with this
issue.

| Subject: | Airmaster prop controller problem |
Hi,
For those of you who have the Airmaster prop:
I went flying yesterday for the first time in 6 weeks. During the
run-up, I normally check for ignition drop at 4000 rpm, then place the
prop in 'manual', increase pitch until rpms drop to 3500, then place the
switch back to 'auto' and make sure the rpms return to 4000. This time,
when I went back to 'auto', nothing happened (rpms remained at 3500).
Going back to 'manual', I was able to go back to fine pitch and 4000
rpm. Tried again, same thing.
I turned the circuit breaker for the prop controller off and back
on, then tried the test again and it worked this time, i.e. the prop
went back to fine and 4000 rpm when I selected 'auto'.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
Any ideas about what the problem was/is?
Regards,
Terry Seaver
A135, XS monowheel with 912S, Airmaster prop.

Happy New Year Terry!
I use the same drill as you for checking the prop.
Did you happen to notice the LED behavior?
They sometimes reflect error codes
Take a look at your carbon electrodes, could be that they are thin,
or also possible is that you have a loose connection to the Hall sensor
which picks up the prop rpm. It won't control if it doesn't know
where its at!
