Tony,
I am selling my Europa tri-gear taildragger. In the US you can use it
to take lessons and such if you just insure the instructor on your
policy as I did.
Do you want more info about my plane?
I tried you email address below but it seems to be blocked, (getting
postmaster failures)
Thanks,

| Subject: | Fuel Pump Problem? |
Today I carried out the fuel flow check of the electric fuel pump on my
912S
mono. I adjusted the fuel pressure to 2.2psi (as well as able) and timed
the
flow of fuel into a measured container. I managed to draw 1.5-1.6 litres
in
4 mins against the requirement for 2.25 litres in 4 mins. The flow
without
any pressure increasing restriction was about 1litre/min. The throughput
was
the same from main and reserve sides of the tank.
The pump was quite noisy in operation ( more like a miniature pile
driver as
a colleague described it on his a/c) though It did become somewhat
quieter
when fuel started passing through it. It is the listed model 'facet
40106.
The flow through the filters seems to be very turbulent with the glass
about
=BD to 2/3 full and the pump seems to vary in speed and noise
occasionally.
Does the pump require special priming?
Can anyone confirm the flow rate expected with no pressure applied?
Am I missing something here?
Have I got myself a duff pump?
I=92m ready to get the engine fired up when this is sorted so any help
would
be appreciated.
Mike

Tony,
Frank Wood has or had a Europa based in Alberta, Lethbridge I think,
I may be able to dig up a contact for him.
My aircraft is registered at 1390 gross. I'm 6' if I think big and my
passenger is 220 lbs if he thinks small, we manage to fit with a
reasonable degree of comfort.
I think you will be able to build up time in the aircraft if you can
find a willing instructor.
As for composites, take a trip to your nearest glider club, sailplane
enthusiasts know there is only one material to use for aircraft.
Regards,
Dave C-FBZI, 912S Trigear in Ontario

| Subject: | Looking for a full-time 1-week Europa monowheel flight training |
session
Hello gents,
Now that I have purchased my Europa monowheel, I'd like to get trained to
fly such a beast.
As I do not know how long it will take before my machine is deemed airworthy
in Canada, I'm looking for someone that could provide me with a "crash
course" ;) on their Europa monowheel.
eally I would need to be able to log these hours, as I am sure my insurer
would love me dearly for this.
I do need to practice the take-offs and landings quite a bit, so maybe it
wouldnt be ideal if you want us to go on a cross-country. I give lots of
extra points for training in Canada by someone with an instructor rating.
I have just renewed my pilot's license, and have not piloted in well over 10
years. I used to fly C152 and gliders, and do not have a lot of hours
logged on either.
I'm willing to take a week off for that endeavor, sometime after the end of
July 2010. You name your spot, your price, your time and... ...well I gotta
check anyways with my various bosses (job, wife, banker, etc.) ;)
I'm awaiting your proposals.
Regards,
Luc

Thanks for all the quick responses! What is the cockpit width at the shoulders?
What does it cost to rebuild the 914?

Luc,
Congratulations on completing your Europa purchase and digging into
the challenge of registering an "experimental" amateur-built in
another country.
Unfortunately, I cannot make you a proposal responsive to what you've
laid out. I will face a situation similar to yours upon completion of
my mono, though I'm happy to say that I have about 600 hours of
taildragger time.
I'm sure many on this list have experience way beyond mine and have
already successfully transitioned to a Europa monowheel who will step
up w/ knowledgeable opinions and suggestions on how you might best
proceed.
FWIW, given what information you've posted, if I were in your shoes,
the first thing I'd do is join a local flying club where I'd have
access to aircraft that I've been familiar with...spend some time w/ a
CFI getting re-familiarized w/ airspace and radio procedures...and re-
awaken your piloting skills. Next I would get as much taildragger time
as I needed to become comfortable. Only then would I make an effort to
get some meaningful time in a Europa. IMHO, only after completing this
preliminary work, would time in a Europa be meaningful and allow me to
prepare myself for taking the left seat.
One of my mantras around flying is to "manage the degree of
novelty"...by that I mean to familiarize myself enough in the cockpit
so that I can handle most of the variables automatically and allow
myself to focus on the "novel" aspects of whatever I'm facing...it has
served me well.
Perhaps I've misinterpreted your post and have stepped over the line
in terms of offering some suggestions when none were asked for...if
so, my most sincere apologies.
Best of luck, and many happy landings,
Fred
