| Subject: | Pierburg Pump No.s Cont'd |
Mike and Co,
Well, I've got the box right here infront of me, and it states a TN6 735- on
the label,
and further down on the label it has 7.21440.78.0
There certainly must be an issue regarding model no.s if the price can range from
60 pounds up to $360.00 US !! When those that have bought the cheaper ones
in their hands, could you please pass on the no.s on the box?
Reg

Hi Luc
I have uship.com proposals to put the Europa monowheel trailer into an
enclosed "car trailer", which has an internal dimension of 6'3", to get
it from GA to the Canadian border.
Is this high enough ?
1) The highest point is a fintip + a possible strobo. When trailered,
the tail wheel bottom distance to the ground is about 300 mm = 12
inches.
That means I think (imho) 6`3" is *just enough* and ok but when you pull
Europa trailer into a car trailer you could lower the trailer=B4s front
wheel even more if necessary or even take a front wheel away.
Are there any recommended extra straps to add to the Europa trailer to
make sure nothing falls off ?
I would like to support it sideways to prevent all the movings.
What is the weight of the Europa trailer ?
I have a highly modified Europa trailer with double axle and the full
floor. I assume it=B4s weight is around 350 kgs = about 770 lbs.
Original trailer would be about 250 kgs = 550 lbs.
What size trailer hitch ball is supported on the Europa trailer ?
Trailer hitch ball? My cars have an European standardized towing balls
and it=B4s size /diameter is about 50 mm = 2".
I purchased my trailer from Germany - I cannot be sure does it have same
female ball in the UK.
Anything else I should be worried about ?
Drive carefully!
Towing the plane is the biggest risk to damage it!
Why not to fly it to Canada?
VERY good idea to use an enclosed trailer and a trailer inside anyway if
you really had to tow it!
Check your Europa in every 60 miles or so!
How about you stay inside the trailer (inside the Europa!) a whole trip
with continous radio or phone contact to the professional car driver?
Support your Europa well (sideways) to the trailer (otherwise your main
gear leg is stressed more or less)!
Notice extra side supports (a pic)!
Notice to use wing safety film (a pic)!
Remember to lock the tailwheel to the trailer!
Remember to strap the Europa trailer well to the car trailer to prevent
all the movings!
Do not ever never put your tailplanes to the Europa trailer - please
pack them well separately (I have made a softened aluminium box like a
huge suitcase for them)!
Notice the ball weight! You have to pull your trailer inside so that
your prop is towards a towing car and tailwheel is behind to get a
positive trailer hitch ball load - otherwise it is VERY dangerous!
When I am trailering, I use always an another car behind the trailer. So
it is a two cars + a trailer formation. That is to prevent any other
moving hostile object to come near or behind my trailer and to prevent
possible following accidents. I know - I am almost a hysteric person -
but I hate an idea to have a traffic accident with my Europa!
Attached a couple of my trailer pics (a floor was not installed during
those days).
I hope this helps - good luck (drive carefully, again and keep the
distance to the car you follow!

P.S.: I decided it was better not to use the Europa trailer directly to
ferry the airplane, as it is in an unknown state, and that I do not have
proper registrations for it yet. Also I am trying to avoid having road
contaminants damaging the airplane.

| Subject: | French RSA Euro-Fly-In, July 14-18 |
Hi all,
This year the french RSA fly-in will take place in Saint Yan on July
14-18. The airfield is located 160 Nm south east from Paris. The 5 day
fly-in is set to be a major european aviation event, with daily
airshow, forums, exibitors, workshops, etc... and of course good
french food and wine.
Most of the 25 french built Europas will attend one day or another. I
hope that many others come from all over Europe so that we can
demonstrate the strength of the Europa family.
For more information: http://www.euro-fly-in.com/
If you have questions, please let me know.
Looking fwd welcoming you there.
Best regards
Remi Guerner
F-PGKL
Note: For those coming from the north, be careful that there will be
very extensive flight restrictions on July 14: no flight possible in
the Paris region all day. Make sure you check NOTAMS and Sup AIP
before leaving: http://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/

Congratulations Luc. But why do you want to complicate life and put the tr
ailer inside a trailer ? Not to mention the expense.
The mono trailer is very well designed and has a low profile. What contamin
ants are there on the road ?
The owner would know the trailer hitch size. It is most likely 50mm=2C whic
h means a 1 7/8th inch ball is fine.

Subject: Europa-List: europa trailer height ?
Greetings everyone=2C
GREAT NEWS ! I am indeed acquiring N202Y=2C as Canada's MD-RA has given a
green light for its import into Canada.
I now need to get my Europa shipped from Georgia to Montreal=2C which is ab
out 20 hours drive away.
I have uship.com proposals to put the Europa monowheel trailer into an encl
osed "car trailer"=2C which has an internal dimension of 6'3"=2C to get it
from GA to the Canadian border.
Is this high enough ?
Are there any recommended extra straps to add to the Europa trailer to make

What is the weight of the Europa trailer ?

| Subject: | Re: Pierburg Output Fuel Pressure |
Hi Tony
If you were to have such a circuit, you would want to have it turn on second pump
when it falls below ~ 2 PSI differential pressure (fuel pressure going to carb
less the airbox pressure).
I have series with bypass laid out fuel system and to me it makes sense to have
second pump running when having fuel pressure going low would be a bad thing,
like during take offs and landings. This may not be the thing to do if you have
parallel pumps because you can blow over the ~ 5 PSI differential.
UMA can provide an output from their differential gauge to drive a LED to indicate
below ~ 2 or above ~ 5. You could probably modify signal or have them do it
to only provide below 2 and use that to turn on second pump. Their gauge is
driven by a differential pressure sender.
I will have a LED in my gauge to indicate above ~ 5 and below ~ 2.
