Yes the AAIB couldn't work out why she swallowed a fly
either! It was an exotic brand of fly normally only found
in N Africa and this was a PA 28 (which sink in 3 mins),
in the wilds of E Scotland in winter, at night, with both
crew not wearing lifejackets, so it was a bit hard to
blame it all on the fly!

Hi,
I am a happy Polarn pump user. You neglect to say that you can empty a Jerr
y can into the plane with it more quickly than pouring it direct.
This is also through the filter funnel which you can steady with the left h
and along with the tube. The Jerry can stay on the deck so that as it gets
near empty you can put your foot on it to keep it stable while you pump the
last wee bit.
I have two Jerry cans in the back of the car and I take two ten litre plast
ic containers with me in the plane so I can go to a garage when I am landin
g away.
I was not enjoying lifting cans to my side filler and tis sorted it.
It was great to see so many Europas at Sywell.
Cheers
Justin

Hi Will
I am considering adding a landing gear warning system to my monowheel. I
would be grateful for any ideas or tips on how to go about it.
I am not flying yet, but here is what we are doing:

Ron, I would very seriously recommend putting in a
SmartASS (see article in upcoming Europa Club Mag.) I know
that it has saved at least one Europa pilot's life. It is
an amazing bit of kit that is your best bet for avoiding
stall spin accidents, but also has a nice lady telling you
to put the U/C down! If you are at all interested I will
send you a preview of the article. Regards, David Joyce,

I am guessing that the Polarn pump uses a cap that seals and clips to the
top of the jerry can.
Ron Swinden (sadly no longer with us) made a filling system for 20l steel
cans which works on the same principle.
You need a spare filler cap and an airbed inflating pump. Basically as long
as you can seal the can and pressurise it (doesn't require much pressure) a
hose that reaches to the bottom will empty the can once pressure is applied.
So two connections - one which takes fuel from the bottom of the can and one
which enables you to pressurise the sealed air above the fuel level.
I'm guessing that with a plastic fuel can it would be possible to make a
rubber or plastic bung which seals the top of the container.
You might want to consider this if there is nothing specifically designed
for your cans.

Hi David
Ron, I would very seriously recommend putting in a SmartASS:
We purchased a Smart ASS Mk 1 that will be installed:
http://www.europaowners.org/main.php?g2_itemId=79836
I forget if it has a UC warning input, if it does will probably use it as
well as our warning system.
Thx. for your INPUT!

Ron, If it is reasonably current it has a wire for a U/C
warning which you can attach to a microswitch in the
indent where the U/C lever goes when locked. You shouldn't
need another one as well. regards, David

Thanks to everyone that responded to my request - both on and off-list.
I have been offered enough phenolic off-cuts to build a new workshop!
It is truly alarming how much material does get thrown away during the
build process - I still have a (warm) loft full of blue foam.

Hello ALL.
I spent to much money at the LAA Sywell show. At 67 I must be crazy considering
the price of second-hand aircraft at the moment.
I purchased a MGL Flow meter, 2 Flowscan Senders, and line fittings,
An incredible 650, the final job will cost nearer a 1000, as I will need a few
more bits and a new externally mounted compass, as I need the panel compass hole
for the new meter, and they tell me I will need new 8.33 radio in 4 years
time, Crazy Country.
However, a couple Questions,
914 rubber fuel hose, what type and Where do I get this from,?
The instruction for the Flow scan senders, at low fuel flows ie the 914 it recommends
installing a jet in the fuel line before the flow meter, no picture of
this jet, no item number or price, just give a different K value to use,
Anybody know what this is all about.???!!!!!
Regards.
Alan

Hi Pat,
I received back torque tube fitted with your clamps, knurled bronze & new
nylon bushes, it was very professional.
I am very pleased with results, the machining was A1, anyone thinking of
this mod, I believe it is well worth the cost.
Many thanks for your help, Pat!
Regards,
Brian Phillips

Hi Pat.
My clamps are working well and removed all play in the tube, absolute no
movement.
I am pleased with them, many thanks.
