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.

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 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:48:27 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Torque Tube Clamp Standard Mod 11906 From: "Alan Carter" 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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=392900#392900 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 11:51:29 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Fusalage fuel stains From: "Roland" 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.
