    Just a thought, but for those looking into the option of fitting switches to the door lock pins. Perhaps you could consider the "car door" interior light switch. The older style have a travel of about 1 inch And would fit neatly into the back of the tube in the door frame. Just an idea Regards craig

    Craig, Looked at those, they have quite a strong spring, together with vibration they could end up opening the door!!!!! Dave I have seen many available, some had very soft (read Cheap) springs that I could easily push with my little finger I a car I doubt they would last very long, but in your aircraft how much does it really get used. craig

    I'm partial to sensors with no moving parts to break or adjust. Something like: http://www.ia.omron.com/data_pdf/data_sheet/e2ey_ds_csm451.pdf Cheers, Pete A239 On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 2:11 PM, david park <europa-list@matronics.com>wrote: > Craig, Looked at those, they have quite a strong spring, together with > vibration they could end up opening the door!!!!! > Dave > > > From: craigb@onthenet.com.au > > To: europa-list@matronics.com > > Subject: Europa-List: Door Locked safety switches > > Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:11:04 +1000 > > > > > > Just a thought, but for those looking into the option of fitting > switches to > > the door lock pins. > > Perhaps you could consider the "car door" interior light switch.

    Subject: Checking out in the mono/conventional gear Europa, Instructors
    needed Guys, We haven't breached the subject of instructors for Bi annual or initial checkouts in the Europa for some time and it would be great to have a list updated annually somewhere. So I'll do it for here in the States. I have a list, but my instructors are getting far and few between, as they are getting older and letting their ratings drop do to health and liability concerns... Background: Insurance companies are getting tougher on all tail draggers, especially the mono wheel. Richard Kundel informed me his insurance company requires 10 hours of dual in make and model (conventional gear) before solo and 5 hours additional solo before taking passengers and he has a tail wheel endorsement. Another client of mine is in need of a CFI Glider instructor for his bi annual and it must be in the Europa. Because I own a trigear and have a little more flight experience, my insurance company doesn't care what I get my bi annual in. This is not the case for all and it is particularly painful for those selling their Europa and trying to find someone to check out the new owner for insurance purposes. But I lost my local CFI who I checked out in my plane, and I was really letting it hang out as the plane could not be used for checkouts for a fee. Very painful now. Jerry Hope out of Greenville TN is the only CFI owner I know at the moment who is current. He is also checked out in my aircraft. Any others? Name, Location, Type CFI, (CFIG, CFII etc.), Does he have or own and will he use his personal Europa to train in. Kindly Respond Bud Yerly Europa Tech Support

    Interesting problem. I am interested in selling my Europa but would like to have it updated by you first. Actually, I was hoping someone would buy it a nd get the work done. It needs new bungee and some of gas line replacement. Then there are the tail plane mods that I have not done. Then I was think ing the buyer might want to convert it to a tri gear. Maybe I should just c hop it up for parts. Any ideas about these issues?
