There are some who have expressed interest in reducing the tail wheel from the 9.25 inches to say 7 inches to get a higher deck angle. Do not do this as the geometry of the tail wheel is changed significantly. Stick with the manual or buy and test your own tail wheel and set the geometry with this new gear to allow the rudder to drive the tail wheel, prevent excess castor and proper rudder to tailwheel geometry so when the tail wheel turns, it does not jam or cause the tail wheel cable to pull the rudder uncommanded... Regards, Bud ----- Original Message ----- From: Kingsley Hurst To: europa-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, June 13, 2011 2:16 AM Subject: Re: Europa-List: Tail wheel stops on the monowheel Bud, You said: "Should the tail wheel spring arm be installed about 2 inches higher than the manual described, the tail wheel geometry will actually drive the rudder and flick the tail wheel around when passing 60 degrees causing the tail wheel to restrict rudder movement and a loss of control will occur." Sorry but I'm not sure exactly what you mean . . . . are you saying that if the rear most part of the tailwheel spring is higher (rear of fuselage lower) or rear most part of the tailwheel sping is lower (rear of fuselage higher) ?

I used loop-type cushioned aluminum alloy clamps (WDG) to fasten the cups to the engine mount. To do this I had to build small aluminum brackets. To the one on the left side carb a rather thick piece of aluminum is bolted between the bracket and the clamp because the carb on the left side is further backward. See the attached pictures. More details can be provided on request.

Europe / Europa fliers who are intending a visit to Wickenby Wings and Wheels on Saturday /Sunday( you won't be turned away Friday even!) here's the approach and departure procedures. There are notams out for the airshow "No fly" periods. All we want now is fair weather and some intrepid aviators too. Regards to all Bob Harrison I'm looking at G-PTAG being grounded due to unacceptable flakes of ferrous metal on the magnetic plug which weren't there at last oil change! Lady Luck deals some shit hands out to me lately ! However no doubt I will have plenty to keep me busy in "the Crew ". ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:47:08 PM PST US From: "Kingsley Hurst" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Tail wheel stops on the monowheel Many thanks Bud.
