Hi Alasdair,
I cannot find this Mod on the Club website. Could you help please?
Remi Guerner
<<<<<<The Europa Club have a standard LAA approved mod for the

Fred,
We used Zolatone 20 series. Go to www.zolatoneaim.com which is the automotive / industrial / marine product.

The mod is an LAA Standard Mod 12209 (on the LAA site). I have attached a
copy for you
It will be on the Europa Club site when we get it sorted out

Fred,
I purchased mine from a Sherwin-Williams auto paint store.
Beware, this stuff really stinks when sprayed!
For some touch up work I used "stone " spray can paint from a
hardware store, so far it has stood up well, and it was much easier
to use.

If you have a tri-gear, and the other master cylinder brand than Matco
(forgot the name but I think it started with a "J"), toss it away and
install Matco brake cylinders instead. I spent a whole frustrating
weekend to try to bleed that other brand, but those things are just
horrible and badly manufactured. In fact, if you would manage to bleed
them properly after all, you will most likely end up replacing them by
Matco's anyway, as these things usually develop problems (leakage,
jamming) after a short time of usage.
After I installed the Matco's, bleeding was a non-event that took a few
minutes. In the 100 hours I have been flying with them during the last
half year, I had no problems with them. Feel and braking capacity is
perfect.
Succes,
Frans

Thank you Ian for posting the LAA mod.
I have not installed a fuel flow in my aircraft but if I had to, I
would use the attached schematic which allows measuring the flow to
the carbs with a single sensor, therefore improving accuracy and
reliability and reducing cost.
The same principle can be used for the 914. In that case the single
flow sensor would be installed between the pressure regulator and the
carbs.

Remi,
At first sight, your proposal may look like the obvious solution. With
respect, however, I think it is not to be recommended for 912ULS
installations (I do not know enough about 914 to comment on that engine).
Contrary to what seems to be a common assumption, the return flow through
the restrictor is not insignificant - it is roughly 10 litres per hour (i.e.
roughly half of the net cruise consumption, or roughly 1/3 of the fuel going
to the engine is flowing back to the tank). The reason for this relatively
high surplus circulation is of course to reduce the time the fuel is exposed
to heat before it reaches the carbs, by increasing the flow velocity through
the fuel line. According to the build manual, the return line branches off
at the point farthest from the pump, just before the left side carb
(assuming the fuel line goes from the pump to the right side of the engine
with a short branch off to the right carb, and from there across the back of
the engine to the left carb).
Moving the return line branch-off upstream (closer to the pump) increases
the risk of vapour forming in the fuel lines downstream from this branch-off
point. By how much, I do not know, but maybe it is critical under
unfavourable circumstances. "Maybe's" under the cowling are not nice - - -
- - .

Svein

Remi=2C
I tried just that. It does not work. The fuel flow at that point is not smo
oth and you get very erratic readings. Only John Wigney managed to get it t
o work with a pulsation damper.I tried that too=2C but with little improvem
ent. So I will also have to buy another Floscan transducer. The price at AC
S is as good or as bad as any.

There is information in the total flow from the pump(s).
Jos O. once mentioned that one of his pre-flight checks was a total
forward flow of 120 l/h or so (Rotax 914). Anything less would be an
early sign of trouble.

| Subject: | Need a source for 1/4" pip pins |
We have been making good progress rigging the wings on my XS Monowheel.
Managed to get the starboard wing lift pin sockets bonded where I wanted them to
be.
After cure of Redux and bolting them to fuse, I wanted to see just how well the
starboard wing was "stuck" to the fuse.
I am not going to pull that wing off anytime soon, but I did notice if I sweep
the wing forward and aft it moves about 1/2" between loading the aft lift pin
to fuse with a clunk, clunk between loading it under compression (aft sweep) and
tension (forward sweep). I am assured this is normal, but I don't like it too
much.
I identified the majority of slop as being caused by the rear lift pin quick release
pin being undersized a bit (under .250" in diameter, closer to .245"). I
had a .250" rod hanging around that I inserted and the clunk, clunk 1/2" movement
is largely gone.
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a MIL spec quick release pin that
would work for the aft lift pin that is in fact .250" in diameter? Kinda sorta
to have a fit like a NAS bolt?
Thx.
