| Subject: | Propeller - Flying in rain |
Here is the reply from Martin Eskildsen at Airmaster:
To my knowledge the blades should be fine in rain as the Nickel will protect
the leading edge. Plastic tape can also be used on the inner part of the
blade if necessary.
- and here are the comments from Daryl Heinemann at Warp Drive Inc.:
Martin is correct in that the blades will stand up very well to rain as long
as you have the nickel leading edges on them. We put on as much nickel as
we can based on the diameter of the propeller which will cover almost half
of the length of each blade. Once you get inboard of where the nickel ends
the speed of the blade at that point is much slower than the tip so it is
not as proned to wear or damage. The Stoneguard leading edge tapes that we
can provide are in 12" lengths. If you know that you will fly through rain
at some point we recommend cutting these pieces in half and putting a 6"
piece from the point where the nickel ends towards the center. This will
protect the remaining inner portion of the blades leading edge and can be
pulled off and replaced if it does sustain damage.
The only other issue with flying in rain is wearing the painted finish off
the back side of the blade. We use a flat black lacquer paint for the
factory finish which will take some time to wear through but you may start
to see the carbon fabric pattern showing through over time. You can
re-apply the flat black lacquer paint if needed, however, you must take care
in giving the blades an even coat or else you can throw the balance off. If
you get to that point please let us know and we can give more details on
this.

Frans,
smart ideas there and there and the best part of
them is that they all are free to use for
everybody if person just happens to like them!
During the building phase I read much of the
cooling problems.
My solution: I have no oil radiator at all!
In the tunnel there is only the water rad !
My Europa is cooling (or in fact adjusting or
controlling) the oil temp by the aid of the
oil-water exchanger.
That is a simple aluminium block between the foot
wells.
Water and oil inputs and outputs.
It is size like a typical brick.
The oil temp is following the water temp like a
humble slave: when the water temp goes upp, the
oil temp is sligtly less and the when water temp
goes down, the oil temp is again slightly more.
The cooling system includes also a water
thermostat.
I think it is "The Must" at least when flying
during Finnish winter time.
The engine warming time is minimized as is also
engine wear, the cockpit is well heated and engine
temp is fixed.
All the water cooled cars do have water
thermostats...
(OK - I know - some of you are tempted to think a
thermostat is a risk. Well - please do not install
thermostats in that case - just fly!)

That should also be better than the tandem radiator setup. How does it
behave in warm weather? Can you fly normally in temperatures of 35 degrees?

Well, you could achieve the same with a cowl flap I think.

The reason I don't like thermostats is that you will still have the
cooling drag, due to dragging air through the radiator, while you
actually don't want to cool anything.
With a cowl flap that closes off the air flow through the radiator, you
can also prevent overcooling, but at the same time you reduce drag.

Please let me know if this is the probe housing you are not having problems with.
I specific ordered from them figuring they had it figured out, but my initial feeling

Hi Folks,
I am forever having trouble keeping the exhaust heat shield located
using the 6 inch worm drive band clamps. I tighten hem up as hard as I
can but they expand with the heat and vibrate off.
I'm looking for a source of the type of clamp found on the Rotax oil
tank holding the two halves together (except with a plain band not a
v-section) that you do up then close tighter with a mechanical lever.
Any ideas?

Hi
Flying in rain is a serious problem for un-coated /varnished) pure
wooden blades.
Last summer my friend flied through a heavy rain just few minutes and he
almost lost his blades!
All the blade tips [3] were gone and other parts of the blades were
damaged.
Now he is flying again with same prop. He just cut the damaged blade tip
ends. Now he has a real climbing prop he reported.
Plane: PIK-18 (only one in the world), engine VW, prop is hand made or
factory made, I do not know so far.
Engine revs before rain max 3000, now (with shortened blades) 3300 rpm !

+35 degrees here is definetely not a common
situation in (Great) Finland but around 25-30C -
no problem - even with a full power and climbing @
70 knots.
So, it behaves well! And has behaved well three
years and over 150 hrs.
(BTW, during last May Finland was one week the
hottest place in whole Europa including Italy and
other southernmost places)
> >

That is true, but: a thermostat is automatic and a
cowl flap is manual (or maybe you have an
automatic motorized cowl flap including an
electric thermostat ;))
Old timer cars did have manual curtains front of
the rads...todays cars have been updated some
years ago by thermostats...do they?
Old timer engines have also manual mixture and
manual ignition controls and so.
OK: automatic = uncontrolled, manual = pilot
controlled. That is good.
Maybe you are right. The pilot controlled is
better. That is why I have pilot controlled gears.
You have automatic. They are (automatically) down
and tracted.

OK Frans!
You close your cooling flap. How much faster you
are flying after that? And how long (before you
have to open it again)?
How many extra grams?
What about if it will be seized to the closed
position?
OK, this has been wrote by your personal D.D.
from Finland only, do not care. Kwaak kwaak.

Neither here... but I intent to use my airplane to go to places, and I
might find myself on a hot airfield someday. ;-)

Ok, sounds good.
> You close your cooling flap. How much faster you are flying after that?
5 knots difference between the flap open (which is about the fixed
position of a standard Europa aircraft) and cruise setting (= almost
closed, flush with the bottom of the fuselage).
You have a wheel to retract, I have a cowl flap to retract. Both save a
few knots. You think it is worth it (otherwise why do you have a mono)
and I think it is worth it (but I prefer to have 3 wheels instead of 4).
Maybe we can do some racing someday. ;-)
> And how long (before you have to open it again)?
I don't need to open it for cruising and landing, but to take some of
the workload away in the event I have to do a go around, opening the
cowl flap is on my downwind checklist. If it fails to open I will just
land without a go around. ;-)
> How many extra grams?
Well, I think it is lighter than the fixed standard cowling of the Europa.
> What about if it will be seized to the closed position?
Then I hate having to use full power.

Great to hear from you - shame about todays weather - this evening at Popham
was glorious - Dave and I sat outside until 8.00 o'clock in case of any
arrivals and hope that we see many of you tomorrow.
We do not have a list of attendees as most have been waiting to see what the
weather brings. Looks good for the next two days.
The marquee is available for sleeping in if required although there is
plenty of space for tents and aircraft.
See you tomorrow.

| Subject: | 2nd Dutch Light Aircraft Fly-in |
Following Ramio's question in another topic, I would like to inform everyone that
the 2010 Dutch Light Aircraft Fly-in will be held from 17-19 September 2010.
All information to be found on www.flyin.nl (www.flyin.nl) , signing in for this event is open (to date some 40 planes have already signed in).
Let's try to have an even longer Europa line-up than the impressive one we had
last year!
Of course, credit where credit's due: europaphiles Tim Weert and Henk Roelofs are
the great initiators and organizers of this great event!

Five knots ? Is it ok if I beg to be surprised ?

| Subject: | Re: Dog box size and flap. |
On the figures below I would like to see pictures of the opening if
possible. When I take Goldrush down for the winter annual I was going
to start cutting on the dog box to reduce it and fix a flap. I would
like to see what others have done to reduce the box size and opening
if possible. I now have much lower temps. I can't get the CHT's to
break 250 F even on a hot day climb.
Hey Paul... did you ever get your mods on that completed? Just curious.

Reducing the inlet opening doesn't imply higher temperatures. The
standard inlet is way to large: that area of air can never go through
the radiator at the speed it enters. So a lot of turbulence is the
result. A smaller opening with a properly designed diffuser will give
more efficient cooling, with less drag.
To reduce cooling, you can use a cowl flap. In cruise, where you spend
most of the time, you need less cooling than during take off. You can
use the cowl flap to direct the air parallel to the aircraft while
cruising, and releasing it with the same speed as the air around it.
This is a further reduction of cooling drag and turbulence.
The standard exit is angled too steep, so the air curves around the
outlet and produces turbulence. Also the exit is too large, larger than
the void can be filled with air entering the cowl, or passing through
the dual radiators.
It all adds up.
If you want to clean up the airplane, on the Europa the cowling is the
place where you can gain the most.
If I'm back from Popham, I will see if I can post some pictures.
