I need to order a new tailwheel (and bearings...) for my Mk1;
I'm not sure about the exact dimension and order number from Spruce; is the wheel
dimension 6 x 2.125 x 5/8 and the ACS order nr: 06-03600?
Thanks for your help!

I need to be sure of exactly what you are looking for but due conversion
from Mono to Tri gear many years ago I do still have an original tail wheel
which just may be of use to you. Perhaps a photo or scanned applicable page
from the build manual would help identify what you are looking for.

Hi Phil
I took couple of new photos and they are attached.
You can find at least four Europa mono trailer
mods, which all are important (at least I think
so):
1) Fuselage support "pads". a Fuselage side of
them is softened. They are not welded - they are
removable as my daughter shows. That is a must to
make a fuselage moveable. The wing carriers are
not very stable by nature. They are normally fixed
by pip-pins only. I added locking bolts also and
now they are like welded. An extra advantage:
fuselage must be very straight before dropping
those pads to the wing carriers. These pads reduce
some heavy sideway loads from the gear /main wheel
swing. Green and red colour are just for fun.
2) Douple axle. 2nd axle is totally useless until
you really need it! Just one axle and an explosing
tire etc could be a first class disaster and
spoiling your fun for ever. Yes - there are
several people driving decades w/o safety belts
also...
3) A Trailer floor. To make a trailer stronger, to
keep an Europa cleaner and without damages when
towing. When a trailer is garaged /hangared a
floor is also useful to keep things on it. A
trailer with a floor has even multipurpose tasks.
4) Doupled tail lights. To make night operations
more safety ;)
Wishes, Raimo

This is a very timely thread for me as I'm just in
the process of doing a few mods on a mono trailer.
I'd be very grateful if some of the previous
posters could post or send some photos of their
solutions. The only other one I know of is
Raimo's idea which has some small pads welded to
the wing carriers that hold the fuselage stable.
There is a photo of that on this forum if you
search hard enough.
Regards,
Phil

I was sent an email today from Maxine at LAA engineering to say that the
full permit to fly was in the first class post and should be with me
tomorrow. Getting a major mod through these days is not for the faint
hearted. It has taken approximately 7months from the initial paperwork
going in. I must thank all people who have put in a lot of time and effort
in getting to this stage. Brian Fogg for doing the test flying and
submitting several reports on the handling and various mods in cooperated.
Bob Hallam and Roy Clarke for all the inspection work. Also Neville Eyre
for the brilliant work he as done on the cowling and engine mount frame,
both of which work superbly. John Wighton for all the technical work on the
undercarriage and Miles for all the work done prior to myself buying the
project.
Finally LAA Engineering for keeping the project alive to finally becoming a
beautiful flying machine. Looking forward to getting some flying time in
now.
