Kingsley,
I see you are anxious regarding impending retirement and I write to
console you. I realise that this is not 'company business' and will not
repeat.
I have been retired for 22 years. My wife has not.
The first item is the weekly calendar which consists of:
Saturday, Church, Garbage, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday and Saturday.
The last day of the week is: Yesterday. Everything must be done today -
see Yesterday. Routines assume immense proportions since there would be
no room for Previous Work.. Hourly wage values approach zero since such
that you will spend 4 hours saving a dollar/euro/pound - a bargain.
Everything based on Forever takes on new meaning. A 20-year
investment has no meaning. - in fact, an annual subscription calls for
Board Approval. To save a marriage, attempt to find a third person for
the Board.
Happy Sailing,
Ferg

Subject: | cowl cutting - bak edge |
before I cut the back edge of the XS cowl for a 912S I'd like to check that its
normal to take about 2mm off the port side and 12 mm off the starboard. I realise
the engine is 1.5 off to starboard but I dont know if the cowl design caters
for this already. My engine didnt need any adjustment washers and I measured
the angle at 1.57 deg.
Thanks

Interesting and relevant stuff to me - but, the ferrite's in the manual from Phillips
are now obsolete, does anyone know what can be used instead. Are they critical
for matching the dipole to the 50ohm cable transceiver as a balun or is
it just ballast/supression at the cable end?

Hi Folks,
Got the following posting on EuropaOwners. If anyone can help Richard
out please swing by and post a reply. If you don't want to post you can
email him, follow the bellow link and click his email button. I didn't
want to repost his email address without permission.
Thanks, Steved
*****************************
I am in the process of finishing my PPL and am interested in buying a
Europa tri-gear to build at home. So far I have emailed Europa four
times and phoned once in a effort to get some info on were I can see a
Europa in the Flesh, so far Europa has not made contact with me. I lived
in Eastbourne, East Sussex. UK Can anyone help me or know of any shows
that a Europa Plane may be so I can get a closer look? Also the lack of
contact from Europa is a bit worrying, is anying having a problem
getting help from Europa with problems once you have purchased a Plane
from them.

Subject: | Re: cowl cutting - bak edge |
If you didn't need washers, you installed the mount perfectly.
As for the cut of the rear, you bet it is not uncommon to cut the right
side more than the other.
For offset, I just do the angle of 1 1/16 inch at 20 inches to make the
angle and it is remarkably close.
The cowl actually has a bit of P factor lean on the forward flange.
Before you cut, be sure to have the exhaust fitted and your propeller
flange mounted as you may find it necessary to push the cowl forward a
bit for more clearance and or to get that look just right. Also the
exhaust often needs a bit of adjustment left or right/fore or aft to get
the clearance just right.
As for the cowl:
As you cut, the cowl drops down into the rebate and changes everything
during the fitting. To get it just right, I put two inch tape on the
fuselage rebate line. Now I have a line that is exactly 2 inches longer
than the cowl line. If I push the cowl to the spinner, I then scribe my
cowl using the end of the tape by using a compass and pen. OK, I know
the cowl is now 1/8 too long as is up against the spinner backplate. A
spinner back plate to cowl clearance of 1/8 inch looks very nice. So
all you have to do is cut another 1/8 inch off. Occasionally, there is
a difference from the top to the bottom with the sides fine. Filler
works. Then put a 2 oz. cloth over the filler so it won't crack and
flick off. That is a heck of a surprise in flight.
Some use a technique to leave the spinner a bit high at first as the
engine settles believe it or not. I use 1/16 inch on initial fit if it
has been a while, then re-level the engine again before final drill of
the cowl.
When the cowl is fitted on the floor for smooth sides, it will
occasionally pucker on one or both sides between your clecos when
installed on the plane (I start with 3/32 inch then go up in
increments). Gravity works 24/7 and you will note that the sag in the
cowl due to gravity will pull the nose down a bit and this causes
puckers in the side. Once the cowl fits inside the rebate, I work the
cowl sides to tart from the front and push the most forward pucker in
and re-drill the cleco hole and go aft to the next pucker. It cuts down
on filler....
Best regards.
Bud Yerly
