Informations will be available soon on www.rsafrance.com To those reading the Europa Flyer, please note that the dates and location mentioned in the last issue are wrong. Hope to see many Europas there.

There seems to be a step missing. Fig. 2 shows all the part and it looks like SK20 fits inside of the folks, but there is nothing that talks about securing the SK20 to the folk. Is it just held in place by the axle nut?

As standard it has no attachment to the fork and can therefore rotate a little. When I installed mine I drilled the SK20 and drilled and taped the fork with a small screw to stop this happening.

I was wondering if anyone happens to know of an equivalent gas spring that can be sourced in the US. The Europa supplied gas spring is made by Industrial Customline in the UK with a p/n of GS8699-1. There WEB site does not give me any clue as to the specifications of the spring so I haven't been able to cross reference it. Thanks - Paul ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 05:22:30 PM PST US From: "Nic" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Honda? - Craig My 05 cbr1000rr longblock weighs 145 lbs w/ the full tranny. FWF flying is less than 180 lbs. Taking the final ratio down w/ the chain drive gives me 2750 prop rpm at 7000k in 6th, 8000k rpm in 5th and 9000k in 4th gear to, say 160 knots? All the other gears share the wear on the way to 2750 prop rpm. I know chain tech has doubled the strength and longevity since the eighties. By using a much larger sprocket as the "small" sprocket, the chain never really gets stressed like it would on the bike. My concern is vibration from custom transmission arrangements. I know they designed it to work complete. The last two gears are 1:25 and 1:16 and should endure well. My power take off is a quill shaft fwd to a remote spool holding the small sprocket. This also isolates the trans from side loads and clocksprings the prop a little for a smoother ride. - Your plan sounds awesome. I'm curious. The crank normally runs on the clutch basket through gear teeth. Does this imply you do not need a flywheel other than the alternator? Imho, I would ask you to consider a chain drive for the damping it can provide between the crank and the prop. Some belts are have zero "give" and can transmit jerk viciously. Also, chain is rather fire resistant. Good luck restraining your power madness ... hahaha Nic - a145xs ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 05:36:08 PM PST US From: "David Joyce" Subject: Europa-List: benwick fuel flow instructions can anyone on list mail me a copy of the Benwick fuel flow system instructions / manual?

When complete the school has the use of the plane for 150 hrs of flying, before it is sold on to finance the next project. Needless to say the school is pressed to find spare cash to buy items that are not part of the original kit.

If the weather remains as it has been the last few weeks it should be a cracker of a turnout of aircraft so come along and join the fun. For more information see http://www.popham-airfield.co.uk As a further reminder the club will also be having its AGM weekend at Popham on the 9th to 10th July (arrivals would be welcome on the Friday) and this now does not clash with the RSA Rally in France . Dave Bosomworth stands down as Chairman this year and it would be great to have a large number of members to mark the occasion. We had 42 Europas last year - lets see if we can beat it. Food and refreshments is being planned.
