Im currently looking at Transceivers, My original was to go with the Garmin SL40
but with the new frequency spacing 833 being introduced at some point, (garmin
not currently supported) Im now looking at alternative. My second choice is
now the Funkwerk ATR833 which is interchangeable between the different frequncey
spacing. Any info on quality of this Transceiver and general overall reviews
would be welcome Thank you in advance.

Gidday,
I have had my door strut hydraulic struts on and off so many times, and
co-incidentally arm really glad the end caps, the ball joint cups are
plastic. So, when the time comes I reckon it might be worthwhile
replacing them, or having spares. I have seen photos on EuropaOwners of
Dan Bish's album of a metal cup with a locking cir-clip pin rather than
the plastic ones. He is unsure where he got them from, maybe Europa, and
so I am wondering if anyone knows where these can be sourced please??

Tony,
Very nice setup with the locking cir clip. I have had my struts dislodge twice
in 5 years, merely due to the bolt attachment coming loose. Otherwise the ones
that are issued are quite OK and lighter in construction. Remember the the cir
clip will not release the strut from the ball when needed under stress and therefore
may do damage to your composite metal tongue the ball is bolted to. Just
a thought.
Cheers,
Tim

I had the same problem and replaced them by metal ones which I bought
from the Europa company.
These end caps are slightly longer so it is likely you have to adapt
something, but it is worth the trouble. I never had an end cap sprang
loose after that.

Hi Richard,
I have the ATR 833 installed in my Europa G-c.e.r.i. I have had no
trouble with it. I do like the duel listening. Also very easy to set up
frequencies. When I bought mine the company was called Filtser. A few
years old, but still working very well.
Cheers Danny Shepherd.

Hello,
When posting messages to this forum I always get an error message:
"User mailbox exceeds allowed message count: themorgans@fairadsl.co.uk"
It looks like this mailbox is always full (at least for over a year
now). I find it rather annoying to receive an error message for every
single post.
Can someone tell these Morgans to empty their mailbox or to either
remove them from this list (they are obviously unable to read this forum
anyway). Or alternatively, stop emitting error messages to individual
posters as they have no control over someone else's mailbox and don't
need to know someone else's mailbox status anyway.
Thanks,
Frans

Barry, Just returned from Germany & Czech to find this correspondence. I am
sorry that the UK is almost as difficult as Belgium about home builts, but
at least they don't charge 80 euros for permission!! Since last year the
situation is that you are required to send CAA information on the attached
document by email (address on the document) and get acknowledgement and then
bring Permit, Insurance, & registration documents with you along with a copy
of the CAA acknowledgement document. You are only allowed to stay in UK with
the plane for a maximum of 28 days on any one visit
I will get this info and document onto the Europa Guide to Flying
in Europe, which is on the Europa Club website.

| Subject: | EFIS Percent power calculation |
I have a GRT EFIS which can indicate Percent Power on the display. However,
I need to calibrate the system first with engine data.
Just wondering if anyone has undertaken this task before and been able to
obtain the data required. Rotax has some parameters but not all. My engine
is a Rotax 912ULS with variable pitch prop (constant speed).
The data I am after is the manifold pressure at a range of revs (2500 to
5500) for both 55% power and 75% power.
Using the Rotax site I have been able to find the difference in power (delta
hp) for increasing altitude from Rotax but it would be good to compare with
other figures.

Tony,
my P1 side plastic ball joint became loose and the metallic ball popped
out several times.
That happened several times only during I was opening the door.
So it was only harmful =93 no damages.
I analyzed why it popped out and found sometimes the pump itself rotated
such a way that it forced to separate the ball and the ball joint from
each others (because the ball joint was also loose).
I changed it to the stbd side (not so often in use) and cutted a small
piece of just an ordinary plastic bag.
Say 1=9D x 1=9D.
I wrapped it about 5 times and put it between the ball joint and ball.
That made the ball joint tight again.
Problem solved.
So far.
I will absolutely go on to the metallic ball joints when it is time to
do that.
Cheers, Raimo Toivio

Hi Steve,
Europa certainly did supply the metal ends in days of old. I got mine from
them and they have never given any trouble since (12 yrs). I only wish the
company would stop supplying duff bits when they must surely be aware of so
many complaints. Those useless NACA side vents are another expensive and
useless item that I believe still come with the new kits.

Pete,
why do you think they (Naca vents) are useless?
I have been happy with them:
- it was easy and straightforward to install them
- they are light weight
- they produce fresh air to the cockpit very well when open and they
won=C2=B4t when closed and are fully adjustable
- easy to operate
- they are looking nice
One limitation: we call that plastic screw =9Cfucken Russian
vertical spiral=9D. The end stops are weak and will broken easily.
When it is fully open, do not try to open it more and vice versa!
It is easy to forget to what direction you should turn the knob
=93 so I have made an arrow sign to show how to open and close it.

That's why we dislike them. Cheep, crapy, miserable adjustments. They
broke the first time I attempted to open/close them (thankfully, before
they were installed). And they are not repairable. So they went into
the dust bin and I bought outrageously expensive but completely
functional vents (Ultimate Ventilators) from ACS.

(that's 3 Stone 8 for you guys in the UK). And the CG has to go back
into the middle of the range. A new, light weight, low power, panel
along with removal of the big alternator should take care of most of
that.

They work fine if adjust them just with a bit tender!
It is very easy if same time have a bit imagination that (The Knob) is a
sweet clitoris. Do not broke it!
Maybe that (ability to use those Naca vents with Russian vertical
spiral) is deep inside in a Finnish nature: we have lived thousands of

PS: if honest during the building phase I hated them. But there were so
many things I would have liked to do otherway or change. But I had not
competence to do so. And did not want to use even more money. Hey I had
a complete aircraft kit they said! So I decided to go on with those
vents. And using them gently they have worked just fine. If I remember
correct these are new ones ' I also did broke them when trying them
first time...and that is why I strenghtened them some how ' maybe by
using large area washers or so.

That's why we dislike them. Cheep, crapy, miserable adjustments. They
broke the first time I attempted to open/close them (thankfully, before
they were installed). And they are not repairable. So they went into
the dust bin and I bought outrageously expensive but completely
functional vents (Ultimate Ventilators) from ACS.

Rebuilding the instrument panel and working on a major weight reduction
program for The Little Dragon Lady. She has to loose about 50 lbs
(that's 3 Stone 8 for you guys in the UK). And the CG has to go back
into the middle of the range. A new, light weight, low power, panel
along with removal of the big alternator should take care of most of
that.

Hi Builders,
I need to replace my throttle cables and am looking for a pair with the cable eye.
Do I need to ask EA for it or are they else where available?
Thank you

| Subject: | CAD file of instrument panel |
Hi,
I am about to make a new instrument panel and will replace all my vacuum driven
avionics with an Dynon D-100.
I would like to use a laser cut service but the laser will only move with the right
software.
I am absolutely unexperienced in this matter.
Has somebody got a file of the shape of the main panel?
Or can somebody help me with the whole project?
Where can I find the plate to close the whole where the vacuum pump has been mounted?
Thank you
Juergen

| Subject: | Battery Location with a 914 |
Gidday,
I have set up a rear battery location for my battery on the assumption
that I will have a CoG problem. I have a 914 with an Airmaster prop, and
a normal panel. Suffice to say, can I presume that I might need weight
in the tail and therefore having the battery back there is a good
option, or can I confidently place it under the baggage bay shelf ? I am
about to buy cabling for the battery which is why I am asking at this
point.
If I do keep the aft location I am trying to work out a lightweight
containment that will accept a decent deceleration. The back of my head
looks better without a battery in the back of it. I have thought of
using rudder cable looped aft under the tailwheel leg attachment point,
and then forward onto the battery box. This Odyssey battery at least
comes in a metal battery case. Any input much appreciated.
Thanks
Reg

Hello Juergen,
The lasers will work with more than one piece of software.
The one I would recommend the most would be Corel Draw. The next would be
Autocad. I have used both, with the laser that I have access to.
If you work on a file with either of these, they should work fine. Need more
help? I can work with you off-list.
I will eventually make a file to create the main panel, that will use a
laser to cut it...but have not done it yet. Maybe someone else has? If so, I
would like to get the file as well :)
Greg

Tony,
That far aft (picture) shouldn't be necessary. Under the baggage bay or just to
the rear of the baggage bay (and accessible through the "D" door) should work
out just fine.
Best regards,
Bob Borger
