| Subject: | Rear Inspection Plateform |
Hello All
He are e some photo,s of !!! ah what do it call it?, yes Rear tunnel inspection
Platform. Well it works for me even though i may only use it once a year.
It is easy way to get yourself in the back, straight up some steps in front of
the wing , get flat and down you go, a slim person could manage to get by the
tower on his side, or remove the tower if you want plenty of room.
I want to get my Torque Tubes out and can go in this way if i can,t manage from
the inspection hole if things are seized up.
No weight is placed on the aircraft skin, all goes to the floor, and you always
need a rear support for many other jobs .
Takes about 10 minutes to remove the D panel, Place the trestle and former under
the aircraft, then slip the boards in which can be raised or lowered at the
rear end but wing nuts on rods.
Wood is expensive these days, this lot in the photo cost me 70
Think my inspector will like it as you can get a good look at everything, and
with Pats clamps just undo the Allen Bolts pull out the Dowels, slip the Tube
out and re grease the bearing's once every three years or so.

| Subject: | Fusalage fuel stains |
Hi
I have a problem I believe is not uncommon ".After flight I find a stain al
ong the rear fuselage caused by fuel venting from the vent on top of the fu
selage. I have a fuel injected (not a Rotax ) classic mono with no sight ga
uge . I have one pipe from the tank to a vent on top the plane as per drawi
ngs. The return pipe for the pumps goes back to the port side of the tank.
I am getting surges out of the breather pipe, I assumed this was just a dro
p of fuel in the breather pipe. I placed in the breather line, at the highe
st point a plastic fuel filter to hopefully stop a small surge. It does not
work I am still getting fuel down the rear of the plane. Is this just over
filling or am I missing something? Sorry if this has been addressed before
but I don=99t read every mail
Roger

Hello Pat.
I posted some time ago a topic on the Europa Torque Tube and a lot of ingenious
idea,s where posted, however many where not LAA approved.
See yours are approved, and i see the new radius comparing the older design, i
like the way you have got rid of those awful split pins, on the dowels.
So have decided to fit them to my aircraft. Have sent you an e-mail for further
information. But please put a set aside for me i will need them soon by March.
Many Thanks
Alan

Hi Roger,
I refuel after each flight absolutely to the top until fuel spits out of the breather
and I see it in the tank, since I don't have a reliable fuel gauge. I then
trailer my Europa home and to the airport for the next flight. No fuel comes
out. So I cannot imagine, that you just overfilled.
Hope this helps for troubleshooting.
Regards
