Hi
I have an early classic Europa , the outrigger wheels have now given up the ghost.
I am sorry I know this has all been discussed before but can anybody let me
know where I can get some new ones?

Subject: | andair gascolator query |
I've got an Andair GAS375-M gascolator that I plan to fit in the same compartment
as the electric fuel pump. Obviously it is desirable to have it mounted with
the bottom near the bottom skin of the fuselage so that the drain can be easily
activated. However, it's necessary also to have room to remove the bowl. That
means cutting an access hole in the bottom skin. Has anyone already got a
LAA mod number that includes that sort of thing?
I suppose (plan B) it would also be possible to mount the gascolator sufficiently
high that the bowl could be removed from inside the aircraft, but that would
mean the drain would be a long way from the fuselage floor and so not easy to
operate from outside. Maybe it could also be operated from inside if the sample
cup is small enough?
Any thoughts?
in friendship
Rowland

Subject: | outrigger wheels |
Evening Roger
This is an extract from an email from the late William Mills giving a source
of an alternative supply. The email is dated May 2007 so phone numbers and
names may not work. I saved it for future use, but now mainly flying off
grass find my outrigger wear is minimal.
"Whilst on the outrigger subject, I have found a source of much better
outrigger wheels with proper sealed bearings and shielded hubs. They are
obtained from: MSA Wheels and Castors Ltd, 10 Maclure Road,
Rochdale, Lancs., UK.
The spec is: 170299 EP100 Wheel + 8 mm Bush. The bush was inserted as a
special order for me, to suit the existing outrigger bolt, so please make
reference to the Europa aircraft outrigger wheel.
If 'phoning the number is + 44(0)1706 516640 and ask for Neal and mention my
name and the wheel's purpose. He knows all about it.
You will have to make up two pairs of aluminium spacers about 3/16" thick to
accommodate the narrower hub. (the rubber tyre is the same width as the
blue ones) I made mine out of 8mm drilled 1/2" dia. solid aluminium bar."
Regards
Pete

Hi Rowland
In USA, not LAA approved but here is what I did with my two 375s on my
monowheel with 914:
http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=28612
Drain and service from outside the aeroplane.
NOTE: When fooling with my fuel system on the bench, it is a really bad
thing to have a leak in either the drain or bowl O ring of the 375. If
you are having a hard time putting the bowl back on, install a new O ring
as the old one probably changed dimension (keep some on hand). Another
caution, when unscrewing the filter, do not turn from the side opposite
where the threads are, it can damage the filter. I inspected my filter
inside, and low and behold there was build crud from Andair stuck just
about holding onto the adhesive they used during assembly just waiting to
get to my carbs. Andair replaced free of charge, good idea to have a very
good look inside.

A while back I did some back of the envelope computations and as I
recall I figured that on touch down we are asking our outrigger wheels
to spin up from zero to 5000 rpm in an instant.
I can't vouch for the math today, but decided at the time that it was
worth my time to investigate a bit and discovered the world of precision
bearings...I now have some 100mm wheels with ABEX #9 bearings purchased
at a inline skate shop...still building, so no direct experience.
I had originally substituted sealed roller bearing wheels for those
which were supplied w/ the kit; however, I had second thoughts about
using them after seeing the identical wheel on supermarket carts...in
this use, they are rarely subject to extreme accelleration.
These wheels w/ the ABEX #9 bearing spin up like there's no tomorrow.
