Did you read your manual?
Why not ask the agent in Melbourne?

Subject: Europa-List: Rotax 914 Mothballed...what service???
--> <tonyrenshaw268@gmail.com>
My engine, a 914 is a 2004 model, and still sits in its new box. I bought it
a couple of years ago and am wondering about what advice people would
recommend in relation to maintaining its integrity, and maybe modding it at
the same time. I wish to get it serviced by my local Rotax dealer, to
inspect and protect it. A work colleague who is an ex car mechanic mentioned
the crankshaft bearing housings can absorb moisture and corrosion can
therefore occur. Not sure if this sort of concern is applicable to my
engine, but in essence that is like an engine rebuild. What should I
consider doing?
Lastly, if it did need the block being split, is there a metal coating I
could have applied, even paint, that would stop that "corroded look" some
engines develop as they get older??'
Thanks

| Subject: | Woodcomp propellor with Airmaster AC200 controller |
Hello all,
I am looking at replacing my AP332 airmaster propellor with a 3 blades woodcomp
high twist SR3000W. But potentially would like to keep the airmaster controller
AC200. Has someone already connected a woodcomp to an airmaster controller
AC200 with success?
Thanks, Jacques

Jacques, Europa builder/pilot Mark Burton makes the Smart Avionics
Controller and I guess would be able and willing to tell you the answer to
that question. Contact him at support@smartavionics.com . If it proves
incompatible I would strongly recommend his controller.

Jeff-
Sorry you will not be there. However, I sure understand. Glad your son is coming
home. I think Bob and I finally got our reservations straightened out. They
had screwed them up like you couldn't believe at Rough River.
If you don't make it, we'll hoist a beer in your honor.

Subject: Europa-List: Fwd: Rough River Report # 5
Hi All,
Looks like this year our list is shrinking a bit and for this I'll take some of
the blame. I'm sorry to say that due to life getting in the way I will not be
able to attend Rough River this year. Today I was just informed that my son now
may indeed get a 1 month early return from his deployment in Afghanistan. He
will probably be arriving into FT. Polk LA the weekend of Rough River. As with
the Army there could be a last minute delay but I cannot commit for sure on
RR. Then on top of that My daughter, son-n-law and 3 grandkids are planning on
being here just in case my son is coming in so they will go to FT. Polk as well,
or just stay here if he doesn't. Family in town ;-(.
Just too many things pointing to me not attending this year. I wanted to tell you
all before but I was unsure. As we get closer I had to make a decision. Now
with all that said... There is still a chance that Landon my son will be delayed.
I ask the family and they will be fine with me squeezing out for Friday night
and all day Saturday without them. That would be cool with me as I need to
get away!! Lots up in the air but being just a few weeks out it's time for us
to commit or cancel the cabin. I apologize for not promoting this as much as
last year but having a kid over there and dealing with my clients, not to mention
a construction project here at the end of our runway has really occupied
my mind this summer.
Also keep in mind... Anyone flying cross country this direction is more than welcome
to use our new guest apartment flying thru. We're located 35 mils south
of Nashville TN on the south end of TN14. It's a 3600 foot grass strip. I have
access to 93 octane non alcohol close by. If I have to go to LA I might not have
to leave till Saturday so we'll be here friday.
I will continue upgrading this list so please do what you can to attend and let
me know of any changes that need to be made.
Regards,
Jeff

Indeed, seems that the smart avionics controller is the best solution. I just got
an e-mail from Jiri of Woodcomp to indicate me that the airmaster controller
is incompatible with the woodcomp propellor.

Jeff - Baby Blue ,
Hi,
I notice your comment about " a leaky exhaust
that might allow heat to get to the carb bowls ".
I had this problem on the first Europa that I built , the fuel boiling
in the Stb. carb bowl and causing rough running/power loss at the TOC.
Do you or any other builders know if any one has improved the cooling
in this area - besides the drip trays which double as heat shields ?
I want to incorporate some type of mod to this one,
Steve. #630

Steve,
After you fit the cowl especially the lower. Drop your tunnel from where the book
says till the lower radiator almost touches the bottom of the cowl. This will
open the gap between the and the tunnel ceiling and allow gobs of hot air out
the back. Once I did that it solved all my cooling issues and I never had fuel
boiling on the hottest of days.

Yes - it is now an official mod - see EF64 mod 12793.
I have it fitted on my 912S and am happy with the results although I do not
tend to fly it in the coldest of weather.

Steve,
I fabricated an "L" shaped baffle that runs across the top of the
exhaust and down the outside of the pipe, between it and the engine
block. It solved my problem and also deflects heat away from the coils
and ignition modules; another heat sensitive area...
