Subject: | Dynamic Prop Balancer |
I'm looking to hire or borrow a dynamic prop balancer kit. Does any one know if
there is one within the Europa Club? UK
Another suggestion is, does any one know of someone Near to West Yorkshire (Halifax)
that provides a service to dynamic prop balancing.
Thank you in advance.

Hi! Richard,
Mark Burton of Smart Avionics produces a balancing kit, whether he would do
a balance for you or not I guess you could ask him?
I'LL copy him in on this message. He used to fly out of Sleap so a
reasonably local flight for you and lives quite close. I think he has sold
his Europa.
There is one in the Europa Club kits but the liability associated with it's
use makes it necessary for you to engage with Peter Jeffers :-
inspector@theeuropaclub.org

Bob Harrison G-PTAG

I followed the 787 debate and others, and do not do everything Wikipedia
tells me to BUT there's a page or two of interest when you dial up LiFePo or
LPF or Lithium iron Phosphate. - I hope Boeing did........

Hi Bud,
Neville Eyre recently did the really difficult work on my old monowheel G-EIKY
and converted it to a trigear. I then towed it away to do the long list of tasks
necessary before it can be inspected and signed off.
Today I proceeded to remove the nosewheel fork spindle and made sure that the spindle,
bushes and friction plate were clean and dry before applying the Nye damping
grease to all relevant surfaces, including both sides of the friction disk.
The Nye grease is also lubricating the bushes.
Quote from your post above "Note there are two frictions. The first is the torque
to break the friction, then there is the rotational torque." Well, if the damping
grease gets applied to one side or both sides of the disk, then there is
no longer a friction break-out torque.
Having tightened the assembly a lot and with the wheel off the ground, all I can
discern is a constant 18 to 20 pounds resistance when pulling the nosewheel
from side to side. There is no break-out. This being my first experience of setting
up a Europa nosewheel, I would appreciate comments and advice from you or
anyone else.
Comparing my Europa nosewheel with other aircraft of different types also having
castoring nosewheels, mine seems excessively heavy to turn from side to side.
Yes, I did tie a cable to the wheel axle and wrap it 90 degrees around the rear
of the tyre before pulling with a spring scale.
