Mike,
I've been there a couple of times.
It's difficult to contact the operator, but they seem happy most of the time
to just use it.
The runway does have sheep on it and car drivers learning to drive, so a low
pass is the order of the day.
Also the runway is quite rough being well broken up tarmac, but still
perfectly useable.

Cheers,
If you are in the course of wiring, as I seem to be endlessly,
sometimes a wiring change or design calls for a number of 2 or more wire
connections and not much room for them. if the current demand is less than
a few, of course Dsub connectors will serve but for not less than 5 wires -
sometimes too many.
If it's for more than say 4-5 Amps, perhaps the following might be
of use:
Taiwan King Pin (TKP) part number H6725R-02 [8.3A] an industry designation,
might serve. Their source in Canada is MODE Electronics in Burnaby BC.
Referring to either of these firms will bring forth a plethora (more
than one pleth) of connectors and associated bits. Finding your source is
your problem.....
Regards, Ferg C-FFGG

| Subject: | Glider Wing Spar Mod 78 ready for order. |
To all Motor Glider Owners,
Europa Aircraft has published Mod 78 and SBs 17 and 18 affecting the
motor glider wings and attachments. The modifications have been
accomplished a number of times at the Europa Center and we believe that
the modifications to the spar are possible for the amateur builder. The
Mod 78, Service Bulletins 17 and 18 and original BOM is attached so you
can see what is in the kit and the instructions.
Mod 78 and Service Bulletins 17 and 18 are now published on the
www.europa-aircraft.com website if you have difficulty down loading from
this message. The prices for the modification and options is listed
below, and as of my last look, the prices are not yet posted in the
Modifications section of the Europa website. Glue availability in the
small quantities that were required for this mod and the huge shipping
costs of hazardous materials from the UK has been the reason for this
delay until now. We have a Gurit supplier now established here in the
United States for Ampreg 21 which can supply in the smaller quantities
necessary. For your information the manufacturer of the required
Ampreg 21 normally supplies in large volumes as this is a common marine
industry resin used in high performance racing boats and large
fabrication facilities using autoclave technology and therefore it is
not stocked in smaller quantities. Listed below is the price for the
modification parts and glue supplies:
Kit Price:
Option 1 - Parts & Tooling : GBP =A3869.14 Or about $1480 US
Option 2 - Parts, Tooling & Resin Kit : GBP =A31163.74 or $1980 US.
Shipping and Hazardous not included from the UK. See below for US glue
option.
Option 3 - Additional 2 off Wing Forward Pins (W25M78) for XS wings :
GBP =A396.74 or about $165 US (These pins are required for those with
both sets of wings.)
Note the resin kit is an extra 294 British Pounds or $500 US rather than
the $255 below and does not include the substantial shipping and
hazardous fees.
Expect at least 4-6 weeks for the shipping of your kit depending on
volume.
For US customers, listed below is the Ampreg 21 dealer quote which is
now a couple of weeks old but indicative of the size and savings. This
price does not include shipping or handling fees to Custom Flight
Creations which are normally very small in bulk orders of 6 or more.
Stock Name
Price Delivery Time
F121-034
AMPREG21 RESIN 10KG
ea.
$ 155.16
10 weeks
F121-036
AMPREG21 HARD STD 3.33KG
ea.
$ 100.199
10 weeks
Note the delivery times. If shipped by Custom Flight Creations from
Florida to US addresses, we can ship USPS ground and forgo the hazardous
fee rather than UPS which is an extra $65 minimum hazardous fee plus the
shipping. USPS ground shipping will probably be about $30 US.
Please indicate your order at the earliest at the addresses below or to
Europa via phone. We will then assemble the kits and begin shipping.
There are suggested proposals to the wing spar cup elimination to
improve rigging ease and these will follow through the tech talk section
of the website. Hopefully additional photo's will be included later for
techniques on the modification.
For those not able to accomplish this modification or have concerns on
their ability to successfully accomplish this modification, Custom
Flight Creations is ramping up equipment and space to accomplish the
modification and will be ready in about 14 days to begin.

All.
I have a trailer that I used to use for my own Europa Tri Gear which I no
longer own.
The trailer is a custom made one, built originally for a mono wheel that wa
s then converted for a tri gear. It is basically a flat bed trailer with th
e
necessary wing support brackets and hold down points and ramps. The ply dec
k needs
completely replacing and basically tidying but is a strong useful trailer f
or an Europa
owner.
The trailer is currently in South Staffordshire.
If anyone is interested please email me at cdspattingham@aol.com for furthe
r information.
Regards
Paul Lowe

Mode S:
My understanding is that from March next year you must have
a Mode S transponder in airspace classes A-C and in TMZs. A mode C or A
transponder will not be legal. In other airspace (i.e. outside of UK
controlled airspace) it is less clear and not helped by random
statements in mags like Loop that suggest that ALL aircraft must have
Mode S.
Given that the reason for mandating Mode S is to prevent
potential saturation of the transponder RF 'environment' by the replies
from older mode A/C units, the logical thought is that the use of Mode
A/C transponders will be illegal everywhere, but I cannot find a
statement to that effect. The nearest I can find is that any
transponder fitted after March 2012 must be Mode S.
The alternative is
that once the IFR aircraft are fitted with Mode S, the RF environment
can cope with the remaining few Mode A/C units in our aircraft. If that
is the case then you are ok until you can no longer get it repaired, so
long as you never fly in class A to C airspace or TMZs.
The original
plan was to fit Mode S to everything because CAA would sponsor the
manufacture of a 'lightweight transponder' or LWT. This failed when it
was found that the technology could not be shrunk enough to be viable
in a portable battery powered device. Ever since then the information
to GA users has shrivelled and even now gliders are still being
threatened with Mode S for flights above FL100.
A poorly communicated
piece of legislation.
Ian

Hi Ron, Graeme and others
Here are couple of more ideas to support mono w/o
wings.
Obviously there are unlimited amount of ways to
support Mono when she need it.
