Hi Steve
The Dynon input for AOA needs greater pressure for higher AOA, not less like
the Europa stall warner provides.
I'm not flying yet, but here is my plan for home grown AOA probe:

Ok, it looks like it's not possible
without major modification and even
then it will need intense set up,
thanks,

| Subject: | beringer wheel & brake for monowheel |
Did anyone else at the LAA Rally notice the Beringer wheel & brake upgrade kit
for the Europa monowheel? What do you think of it?
It promises to save 4kg and allow use of a tubeless tyre while improving braking
and saving maintenance costs. It looks very smart in red-anodized aluminium.
The flyer sheet says it uses DOT4 fluid and quotes 1429 euro for the complete
kit including tyre and master cylinder with parking brake.
I can't find more than a passing mention of it on their website:
http://www.beringer.fr/aero.php
The UK distributor for Beringer is Pioneer Aircraft Ltd:
http://www.pioneer.aero/
but they only have a link to the Beringer website.
While it looks very nice, I don't think I want to spend that much just now. Still,
it's good to know that despite so many builders converting to trigear, some
third parties think the monowheel is worth supporting.

Answering my own post .... I made a query on the Beringer website and have just
received the response:
"The full technical data is not available yet, this kit is brand new will be available
for sale beginning of October.
The master cylinder is not in the tunnel but on the stick with an integrated reservoir
and a parking pin.
Wheel-brake-tyre-Axle are changed as well as the brake lines.
A pressure limiter is included in the kit."
I can see pros & cons for the master cylinder mounted on the stick. Anyone else
like the sound of it?

Rowland,
FWIW, I had about 4 hours and a dozen takeoffs/landings with my monowheel set up
with the brake on the control column. I liked far better than the tunnel mounted
hand brake. Left hand could hold the tail down and hold the brake for runup
freeing the right hand for throttle, ignition check, etc. My brake master
had a parking brake feature that used a cam to lock the squeeze on the brake
handle. I imagine it's about the same on the one you describe. taxiing with
3 fingers on the column and 1 finger on the brake lever was easy and the brake
easy to modulate that way. Same for takeoff. Taxi into position. One finger
holds the brake while the power comes on, release the finger and away you go.
On landing you simply keep all fingers off the brake lever till you have slowed
sufficiently to apply the brake. Again, it just takes a single finger moved
from the column to the brake lever for braking. I found that the best location
for the lever was clocked over to about the 1:30 position on the column.
I posted an album in my section on the EuropaOwners.org site documenting the trials
and tribulations of my installation (Mods and other hardware things). I
would bet that the installation you are looking at would be much easier and more
complete.
Hope this helps.

We have one UK Europa (that I know about) with the MDO "hand brake". A copy

4 kg saved by redesigning the wheel and brake? Really? That sounds like a lot to
me.
