To simplify matters I was considering using a commercial power panel such as the TRAYMOUNT EXBUS2V, LIGHTSPORT or MINI POWER PANEL as found in Aircraft Spruce catalogue. Does anyone out there have any experience with these units. Thankyou. Paul Munford

    Subject: 912S Rough Running at High Revs
    Restoring the Mono=92s undercarriage involved removing and replacing the engine. Subs equent flight checks were excellent=2C and I was really pleased with the job. The very next flight was a different story. High power settings produced a disturbin g engine flutter and a loss of some power. Ground checks confirmed the fact=2C and a variety of attempts were made to solve the problem. All without success! If anyone else has experienced the same and has the answer please let me know. The symptoms=3B 1. Engine starts and ticks over very nicely. Mag. checks OK. 2. Fuel pressure is good. 3. 2500 rpm. Smooth running. No noticeable difference on mag. checks. 4. 4000 rpm. Fluttering becomes apparent. More pronounced on one mag. 5. 5000 rpm. Fluttering is obvious. Again more pronounce on one mag. Checks so far=3B 1. All spark plugs replaced. 2. All wiring and leads checked. 3. Valve covers off=2C and valves=2C seating=2C collars etc. Checked. 4. Connections to engine management switched. Mag. symptoms switched with it.5. Carb settings checked for ful l opening and closing. There is a possibility that the ignition is not advancing. Is there a simple way to define that? Thanks in anticipation. Bryan

    Hi Bryan Had some thing similar earlier this month and found two problems, One of th e red wires from the charging coils had broken inside the stainless shield coming up to the Ignition boxes, and also found one of my Mag switches playing up and leaking to earth some times, It took a fair bit of head scratching to isolate the faults, I have included a easy fault finding list to troubleshoot your problem, ( found on the Internet) best wishes Ivor On 16 October 2011 18:23, Bryan Allsop <bryanallsop@hotmail.com> wrote: > Restoring the Mono=92s undercarriage involved removing and replacing the > engine.

    Hi Paul, Yes a couple of us here in New Zealand have used the mini power panel or Sport Panel as it used to be called, it works well and slides in nicely under the main panel as per the attached photos, I would recommend it for simplicity Cheers Gavin Lee ZK-EPA #355.....NZ 20....Australia 6 From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Paul & Vanessa Munford Sent: Sunday, 16 October 2011 8:20 p.m. Subject: Europa-List: Fw: avionics ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul <mailto:pmdental@btinternet.com> & Vanessa Munford Sent: Friday, October 14, 2011 10:13 PM Subject: avionics Hi everyone.
