    Subject: Diesel Europa tri-gear MG?
    From: "Terry Seaver (terrys)" <terrys@cisco.com>
    Hi Gary, Dwight, My partner, Dave DeFord, and I have a monowheel XS with the 912S and Airmaster prop. We built it first with short wings, with our first flight in 2001. We have since built the long wings, and have been flying with them about two years now. Even with the relatively light 912S, we are a little nose heavy with the long wings on. We were warned by Dave Anderson that we might need some ballast in the tail when we switched to the long wings, and he was right. Installing a diesel weighing considerably more would create serious weight and balance problems. As far as registration, our plane was registered as a homebuilt aircraft, not necessarily SEL. When we talked to our FAA examiner about re-registering the plane as a motorglider, he said we only needed to send him a letter describing the change to the plane, and he would sign it off and send it back to us, requiring a nominal fly off of a few hours. If it is flown as an SEL and the pilot is legal to fly SEL, then that is what it is. If is equipped consistent with a motorglider, and the pilot has the proper rating, then it is a motorglider. Theoretically, if we put a rotor mast on it, and get the proper rating, it could also be an autogiro (after sending our FAA examiner a description of the change and getting a sign off from him). Regards, Terry Seaver -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Gary Leinberger Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 7:04 PM Subject: RE: Europa-List: Diesel Europa tri-gear MG? <Gary.Leinberger@millersville.edu> It is a good project idea - I am building my Europa MG tri-gear with full IFR with the same ideas . I have both sets of wings but will fly first with the short ones. I did think about a bigger engine but settled on the 912S. Unlike hot rods - more power is not necessarily good - there are very real problems of weight and balance as well as structural strength with a bigger engine - as well as handling. And more power won't necessarily translate into more speed or performance. There is also a safety issue - besides weight and balance. The airfoil, wing area and stabilators are designed for certain speeds and weight - fly at over the weight limit or speed limit and very bad things can happen. The plane as designed is very nice, and any mods greatly increase the build time - as I have learned the hard way. As for only two seats - I can only think of a few trips in 38 years of flying where I had more than 2 people in a plane. I looked at attaching a BRS (I have one in my Kitfox Lite) but it would require a complete re-engineering of the airplane. And in the Europa (as in the SR-22) use of the chute destroys the plane. Better to build and fly so you don't need it - and it only helps in very limited situations (like an in-flight structural failure at altitude - it won't help in situations where most accidents happen - take-offs and landings - since the chute can't deploy fast enough.) Realize that with the glider wings the carrying weight is reduced as the wings weigh, I think, 100 pounds more than the short wings. Be sure you register the plane as a motor glider even if you build the short wings first as it is very difficult to change the classification after registering as a SEL. There is a guy in Utah or Nevada that flies up to 22,000 ft. in his "Mini-U2" with oxygen. I think he has the 914 Turbo. I think his name is Dave Anderson(?). He had a web site that was pretty good. It may still be on the club site. I would suggest the high top and extra width mod (I am 6 ft tall and have wide shoulders) - this also gives you a higher windshield that greatly increases the viewing area. And it appears to not hurt performance.

I would suggest you have a look at the MGL EFIS panels, which will give you the IFR, autopilot gear you need, at a great price compared to most of the others. The Smart 1.5l turbo diesel comes in at 95hp, which is about the same as the rotax engines, fuel consumption runs to about 5 litres an hours good luck, sounds like a good project. craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Dwight Van Zanen Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 5:47 AM Subject: Europa-List: Diesel Europa tri-gear MG? I am new to this system of communication. If you can direct me to somewhere to get this information, please let me know. I have been interested in a Europa for some time and would like your advice on the feasability of a diesel tri-gear, long wing; with aux fuel tank, IFR GPS coupled to autopilot with altitude hold, BRS and oxygen systems. I have looked into the WAM 120 from Weisch Airmotive, but open to alternatives. I am in the USA where an Experimental glider can be flown without a medical, night and IFR if properly equipped. Here are some reasons for my question: 1. Long range: Use a turbo-diesel at 3gph, aux tank, perhaps 2000NM in economy cruise? 3. GPS direct: 4. Low fuel cost: See #1 5. More safety in a SEL: great power-off glide, diesel fuel, add a BRS 6. Easier to make modifications: EXP, pretty simple systems 7. Cheaper for maintenance: Do it yourself mostly 8. Steady IFR platform: wingspan of 47.25 feet 9. Higher altitudes: turbo-diesel, add oxygen system 10. Remove the wings, take it home in a trailer. No hangar rental. 11. Higher speeds: 150kts TAS @ 10k, turbo for altitude. 12. No medical required for a registered glider in the USA, even for night and IFR if equipped. And on the negatives: 13. Reduced to 2 seats. Solo for long range flights. Possible to increase useful load with more power? 14. Initial cost to buy/build and set it up the way I want it. 15. Necessity of getting the glider rating and self-launch endorsement. 16. No toilet. Not needed with my current plane, but Porta-John works. 17. ? I know some people consider EXP a negative, but see 1-12... Most of my flying has been solo or with one passenger anyway, retired with grown kids mostly on the other coast. The MG idea would not work for everyone, but it seems like it would work for me better than my current plane does. And the FAA rules allow night and IFR in a properly equiped MG without a medical. May be valuable as I get older. Thanks for any advice or comments on feasability. And if anyone is doing something similar, I would love to hear from you. Dwight B.

    Hi group. We are working on instrument module at moment. We have a Garmin 295 and was wondering if anyone has mounted the antenna to the underside of the top of the instrument module just about above the gear lever cutout? Bout how far aft of firewall? Any input would be appreciared. Ron Parigoris

    Hi group We are thinking about mounting four baby30mm cooling fans flush with the top surface of the instrument module. Two above comm and transponder and two above dynon D10A. Figure they would help get a little heat out from under panel and perhaps help a little with demisting. Each fan moves ~ 3CFM. Any comments appreciated. Ron Parigoris

    Cheers, For whatever use it may be, I have added a measured fuel tank contents graph to the Europa Owners Gallery 2. I am on third page halfway down, and the image is number 9 (there is no number 8 for some reason), entitled "fueltankgraf.bmp", so fairly lengthy. I'll try to shorten it to '.jpg' when time allows. The image includes two values for each depth of fuel, one for horizontal flight, the other for 9deg tail-down - ground values. Component built dates are included in case the tank has changed much.

What's the aprox square size of your fan you have installed? The onesI am thinking about are 30mm x 30mm (under 1+1/4" square). Ron Parigoris

About what size square is your single fan? The ones I am interested in are 30mm square (less than 1+1/4"). In addition to demisting,I want to keep some heat off of Becker Com and Transponder, and off Dynon D10A. Ron Parigoris

    Yes Ron, the CRP of the panel is transparent to GPS unless you re-did your panel in carbon fiber. The plexi windshield is also transparent to GPS. Unless you metalized your firewall, it too is essentially transparent. GPS Antennas are not supposed to "see" down to the horizon, in fact most receivers with ignore satellites within 5-10 degrees of the horizon ("the masking angle") by orbital calculation in order to avoid atmospheric distortions of the signal. Since your engine is below the inside ceiling of the panel, the existence of the engine is a non-factor as well. My GPS puck is attached to the ceiling of my panel with industrial grade double sided foam tape. Ivor, your solution requires extra length of coax cable and a connection to be broken whenever you need to pull the panel out of the fuse. Extra coax length and in particular, extra coax connections are extremely hurtful to GPS signal strength. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=285472#285472

    Ron, No problem with only using one each fan. D-10s need to stay below 120F so that should be fine. As for GPS antennas, in the 4 or 5 I have installed, it is best to fashion an aluminum piece shaped like a U for the active antenna to sit on glued right to the top of the inside of the panel. The antenna sits in the trough of the U and provides a nice out of the way place to stick it. All the Garmin, GRT, Blue Mountain and Anywhere Map units work better with that little piece of aluminum. That technique was recommended by my Garmin Distributor. It has always worked for me. Try it...Doesn't cost anything but a thin 4 inch piece of aluminum.

This part of the fuselage is a beam. Mods have been done, there is a mod to slim it down in the hips area but needs care. Graham
