    Hi Alan, Although your plan would work it is not the best arrangement. On most Europas there will be a positive supply electrical bus bar somewhere behind the instrument panel that is controlled by a battery master switch. It would be better to take a connection from there and use a panel mounted fuse or circuit breaker to protect the wiring to the cigar lighter sockets. You should also be able to find a negative bus bar or connection stud behind the panel. The size of the cable and then the size of the fuse/ circuit breaker will be determined by what you intend to connect to the sockets. If you are not going to take more than 5amps you could use 22 gauge wire and a five amp fuse. As you are planning to have two sockets it is probably best to use 20 gauge and maybe a 7 or 10 amp fuse. It is important to be able to disconnect all electrical supplies in an emergency so it is not good practice to connect things directly to the battery.

    Subject: Auxiliary Power Supply
    Morning Alan When you take the panel out you should find a power and negative bus in the back fed directly from the battery. I suggest you take the power from that via a CB. Trouble with in line fuses in the back of the panel is that it makes a big job just to change a fuse unless you have easy access.

    Good Morning to you Both. Yes , that all makes good sense, and that,s what i will do. I was a bit reluctant about going in behind the panel, but hopefully i will be able to do it. The making the new little panel plate and fixing i can manage ok. I will make sure i use a good crimping tool, will post a photo when finished, but allow up to six weeks.

    Hi all, Just to add to Fran's & Raimo's data. For a day 30c day I typically see coolant/oil at 105/110 in cruise. With the last round of cowling modifications I can now cruise climb at 30" / 100kts to 10,000' before I reach 115c on my coolant. Although I am some what happy with these numbers I am looking to be able to reliably do this with the OAT at 35c and I haven't achieved this goal yet. I am using a C45 x 180 Laminova. Regards, Paul

    Subject: Re: Mod 73
    Regarding Mod 73 and SB15 Sorry I have been out of touch...More on that some other day. Mod 73 is elongated on the top and bottom. However in reality the bottom hole is not as critical and many of you still have a round 1/4 to retain the pip pin ball retainers and have had no problem, but it should be elongated just a bit top and bottom. The reason the lower hole not being elongated doesn't cause an issue is that the loose tailplane is going to move but the pin itself with only one hole elongated will still allow sufficient small movement of the tailplane and its TP6 bushing glued in to move so as not to crack the bearing free. Unless your tailplanes flop about independently a lot. Only the underside of the TP5 with its mandated extra glass retains the pin in this modification. However, the pip pin is normally not long enough for the added glass work, (Note the epoxy and glass should not be relieved in the vicinity of the hole to allow the retaining balls to catch and retain the existing pin, you must buy a longer pin (2 inch works)). Note SB 15 must be followed to remove all play in the tailplane pitch tube system along with this mod. That said, let me say this. No movement of the tail plane should be noticed at the trailing edge. Nor should the stab move independently of the mass balance arm. The inspection documentation only states: * Tab drive pin and bracket for corrosion, cracking. * Main tailplane bushes for security and cleanliness. * Tailplane drive bushes in inboard rib for wear and security. A small amount of bushing wear and pin fit will allow the tailplane to move no more than 1/64 inch at the rear and in a properly built tailplane, the stabs when gripped at the trailing edge will not move independently from one another at all. If they do, something is worn or built incorrectly. Any tailplane movement will, due to the fact the physical tail plane is not balanced, flutter unless it is secured soundly through the TP13 bushes to the drive pins and the drive mechanism is soundly attached to the TP4 tube and mass balance arm via the TP14s. Hence Mod 73 is a Band-Aid, to the real problem of sloppy TP14 pins and TP13 bushes. The real fix is to do the work right. TP14 pin installation to a tight fit is essential. The PFA mod 10672 bonding in the bushes was a terrific idea to prevent many problems, from TP5 de-bonding, to foam protection from lubrication and a more sound TP5 adhesion to the foam stab core and ply rib. Many of you have installed a threaded cap for an additional safety lock for the tailplane pip pin. Extra glass was added in doing this and frankly cured part of the problem of the TP5 retention. Accidents tend to cause Band-Aid solutions. I know I have beat a dead horse on TP14 pin installation techniques in the past. However, the SB15 Loctite solution is a quick and easy fix to slightly loose pins and makes the TP12 and TP9 retention problems go away. Also some of you developed clever clamping fixtures to secure the drives to the tubes which was another mechanical solution that worked. (By the way, don't get the Loctite 603 into the pitch bearings, that stuff really works.) The Band-Aid solution to prevent one part of the problem for he who does not understand that any movement of the stab due to excessive play or wear in any part of the stabilator control system is reason to ground the aircraft until corrective action is made. So to cause trouble: The TP14 C and D pins should not allow the TP12 or TP9 to move on the TP4 Tube at all. That said, most builders note that a small ticking sound but no perceptible movement of the TP12 or 9 is noticed on annual inspections as the plane ages with no modification. Once the movement begins though, it gets worse. Any perceptible movement indicates SB 15 is needed and cures the problem... I know that in the past the factory suggested up to 1/2 inch movement of a tail plane was acceptable, but that means you have a known flutter problem and are flying with a known malfunction in a flight control system. In the 80 HP aircraft flying at or near 100 Kts it is not a problem, but in a dive to VNE, flutter is a very real concern. I have had to rebuild 4 stabilators due to this type wear. The pilots never realized that they had movement nor did they know how to check. Flutter clearly occurred as the wear on the TP13s was evident as well as flat spots in the TP14 pins, however the TP5 was undamaged. The preflight check for proper fit and security is quite simple and must be done on each preflight. Grasp the stabilator at the trailing edge and pull up lightly to put the mass balance weight on the stop. With the mass balance arm against the stop pull up and check if the tailplane moves beyond the clunk of the mass balance stop (Checks TP9 and 12 Pins). No movement should occur on either the up or down stop. At the leading edge of the stab grab the leading edge of both stabilators and attempt to move them up and down independently or if you have longer arms from the trailing edge, move the stabs by gripping the trailing edge outboard of the tabs and moving them one up and one down and vice versa to check for independent movement of the stabs between one another. (Checks TP12s) Keep it tight and right Best Regards, Bud Yerly Tech Support ----- Original Message ----- From: Keith Hickling<mailto:keithhickling@clear.net.nz> To: europa-list@matronics.com<mailto:europa-list@matronics.com> Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2012 10:27 PM Subject: Re: Europa-List: Mod 73 <keithhickling@clear.net.nz<mailto:keithhickling@clear.net.nz>> I'm pretty sure you are correct, both top and bottom holes need to be elongated, otherwise it would not achieve the purpose which is to prevent torque loads from the torque tube being transmitted through the TP6 sleeve with the possible result of disbonding.

    Subject: Out of service and missing Rough River
    I hate to admit I am getting a bit old. I have the been diagnosed with prostate cancer. We should have caught it earlier but that is life. I have been going through biopsies, cat scans, bone scans, and had folks violating my body in new and unusual ways for the last month and have a bit more to do to check all the avenues of spread. I know I could never be a gay person now. Good news is I have great doctors and facilities, good insurance, and have had to learn patience with those who practice medicine. I have learned that health insurance professionals / death board members require more of my attention than the doctors (and I found it difficult not to be cranky with them). My prognosis is full recovery after a few months of discomfort and more tests. I understand that it is difficult to sleep when your groin glows in the dark. We shall see. So you guys lucky enough to be at Rough River, I envy you and will miss an opportunity to bore you to death. Regards, Bud Yerly Don't Archive

    Dear Bud, Very sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations and can emphasise with yo u although my prognosis was thankfully all clear. One day in the hospital after an inspection with "the finger" when I thought the Urologist had vacated the room, I remarked to the chap in the bed besid e me how I HATE that feeling. =46rom behind a curtain where the Urologist wa s still washing his hands came the comment ....... "I've never had anyone as k for a second go!" Sincerely now, I do hope all goes well for you and I look forward to your co ntinued participation on the forum for a long time to come. All the best Bud Kingsley in Oz.
