| Subject: | 65l Europa fuel tank |
David
I do not have an accurate CAD drawing of the tank. What I have is attached
as a PDF.
If you are going to take up Rowland's offer then I will be happy to produce
an accurate drawing from it.
Bear in mind that the tank has had slight changes with almost every
production batch. The changes I know about involve a ridge across the front
to reduce the bulging.

Good evening list
I am working on a little project that may benefit us all, does anyone have a
line drawing of the Europa 65L fuel tank that can be emailed to me, I also
need the dimensions if anyone can get a tank to do this I would be most
grateful, I need all the measurements, including depth of and dimensions of
the saddle part, width, height girth etc!
I look forward your response and to the power of the list....
Kindest regards

| Subject: | 914 Ignition Module |
Jerry
I am sorry to hear about your ignition module problem.
We had similar problems with G-IRON (also a 914) and ended up having to
replacing both modules.
It is obviously convenient for the supply agents to claim failures are rare.
>From what I hear from owners failures are far more frequent than they should
be for such an expensive item.
Fundamentally these modules contain about $30 worth of parts. The supplier
justifies the cost on the basis of quality and reliability which is just
not being achieved.
Personally I believe it is long overdue that Rotax should replace any module
that fails free of change.

We had a failure of a unit at about 500hrs too! Thought it was 'just
one of those things' - Rotax really should put their hands up and admit
that the device is not up to the job and either replace the units FOC
or at least much closer to cost price - I think that the boxes cost
about 6-700 GBP.

I have been looking to try to see a drawing of the tailwheel area to see
what people are wanting to lower- if you have that drawing at hand in your
computer you might send me a copy - but do not waste your own time getting
it up - just say you have not got it there.

Kingsley,
Look on the diagram for the tail wheel installation Chapter 23M-7 figure 10.
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

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) ?
Thanks
Kingsley in Oz
