| Subject: | Wing tip LED strobes |
I own G-IPOD (XS Kit #573), the builder, Steve Vestuti, installed some
cabling into the wings for wing tip strobes and/or nav lights. The cabling
spec is good for LED type.
I would like some recommendations/feedback on equipment installed by other
owners, including positioning, installation details, any info you have.
I can open up the wingtip at the LE to give access, making provision
(possibly) for landing lights as well. Alternatively access could be made
from the underside, the hole being made into an access hatch or sealed up.

Hi Europa family,
A friend of mine, flying in Austria, want for photo shooting reason to fly
his Monowheel without doors.
I know, we have had this point several time on the forum, but I have
forgotten this.
What should he do on the plane for flying without doors?
What max, speed to you suggest?
All info to this is very welcome.
Best Regards,
Bruno

Hi! Bruno.
Firstly I would expect that you would only require the passenger door to be
open.
My experience when Europa did some Air to Air photos of G-PTAG was that the
maximum speed would be 110 kts. And no violent maneuvers or turbulent air.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

John,
I have used the LED system from CreativeAir.com.
They offer LED's only and also combos with landing light.
They are integrated in the wing tips. The covers for this I have got from
Fred Klein.
It is a very clean solution.
As tail light (when LED's, than all over) I have installed the very bright
LED from PerihelionDesign.com
See pictures.
Best Regards,
Bruno

Hi John,
I did the same as Bruno, but did not install landing lights.
As you know "they" won't let us fly at night this side of the pond :-( .
Also I fixed the strobes on the fuselage separately. Not sure if Fred
Klein still makes the covers.
Cheers Danny G-ceri

before chucking the expensive regulator , you might check to see that
alternator is putting out the appropriate 16 or so Vac, although odds are on the
regulator.

Jeff,
I would check your ground connections to the regulator, capacitor, etc.
along with associated crimp connetors.

| Subject: | one-man rigging stuff - UK |
I was over at Roger Huttlestone's Northwick Engineering establishment
the other day, getting the port wing spar clamp for my covered
trailer modified to cope with the spar strap.
In conversation Roger mentioned that a while back he'd had a flurry
of interest in one-man rigging systems to suit the factory trailer.
About half-a-dozen people had made enquiries, so he'd started to buy
in materials and make jigs etc for a production run. He had to do
quite a bit of redesign work including changing the way the wings are
stowed. Alas, once he'd set up, all the interest evaporated and he
was left with no customers. He now has a pile of redundant bits
including a complete wing dolly taking up much-needed space and he is
about to throw them in the skip.
I offered to let the Europa community know and give you all one last
chance to contact Roger before he gives it the heave-ho.
I guess I should declare an interest - I bought one of the covered
trailers he used to make, which includes one-man rigging gear. So far
(not yet flying!) I am pleased with it. It's made the logistics of
the build much easier; I can move the wings around single-handed
(although I learned the hard way about leaving them sitting around
unsupervised!), and the trailer is great for storing all the bits I'm
not working on at any particular time.
Roger has advertised in the Europa Flyer but if you don't have an
appropriate back-number to refer to, contact me off-list & I'll give
you his details.
regards
Rowland

Hi All
I second Rowland's approval. I had a very early MK1 rigging kit from Roger
back in 199? and it worked well. Now the aeroplane is hangered Roger has
made me a hydraulic fuselage dolly.

PS Rowland is he still making bio-diesel?

Pete - that's one of his talents I hadn't been aware of - but I
wouldn't be surprised. Come to think of it, I did notice something
that looked vaguely like a still the other day but where I come from
it's rude to ask about the purpose of that sort of equipment ....
