" ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:05:17 PM PST US From: William McClellan Subject: Europa-List: Singleton tailwheel mod I am finally getting to installing my Singleton tailwheel mod. The instructions I have, end before explaining the install of the pushrod connection and hardware into the rudder leading edge. Can anyone give me this section of the instructions. I understand it might be part of the Classic Manual which I do not have. Or maybe it is posted some where else. I emailed Graham directly and he is in France until the 17th without access to a sendable copy of his instructions. Thanks, Bill McClellan ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:45:56 PM PST US From: "Troy Maynor" Subject: Europa-List: Left the Nest Today Hello Friends and Fellow Aviators, Today at 1145 EDT, at KAVL (Asheville, NC, USA), Europa N120EU broke the surly bonds of Earth and lept into the air on it's maiden voyage. Well, actually the voyage was just orbiting the airport but she did so very well. I was amazed at the short take off, maybe 500 ft someone said. I don't know, I was too busy. I climbed to 5000 ft and the temps and pressures were well with the limits for the whole flight which lasted 35 minutes. I did some manuevers and stalls. No drama except for a left wing drop deep into the stall in dirty configuration. Mostly just mushed. I need a rudder trim tab, need to tighten the tail wheel cables, and recheck the weight and balance. (I needed a bit too much nose down trim for straight and level.) But all in all I am very happy. It went well today. I was worried about the weather. The wind had picked up from earlier in the week, but I couldn't take off work. Turns out that winds were at just 6-10 knots almost straight down the runway. For the records: It is kit number UK 120, weighed in at 850 lbs, Rotax 912S. Build hours were in excess of 4000, (a lot of mods, plus I'm slow). So now to debug it and enjoy it at long last. I want to thank each and everyone that has contributed ideas, helped solve problems and encouraged me to keep on keeping on during the long journey of building. It feels great to be up there pushing that stick around and have her respond so gracefully. That's it! Her name will be Grace...after my mom.
