Hello,
Reading the mail and noting Graham's kind words set me to
writing Amidon Inc in California. They make the majority of toroids for a
myriad of uses and are familiar to hams in many places.
I have used their devices, but am long out of it so am not
familiar with (a) their numbers or (b) tasks any more.
If you can wait until their reply (prob'ly week-day) I will
relay relevant material same day. I am sure there are equally effective
producers Europe-wise, but these guys are by far the big guns in America
(North America really).
I note some firms shying away from aircraft matters as a defence
against wild lawsuits, but believe we are OK because few toroids result in
aviation accidents any more.
Cheers Ferg

I have one of those AAE dipole antennas...there is no mention in the
installation instructions of adding toroids or the need thereof...am I
missing something?

Rowland make a coaxial cable balun per Lectric Bob's instructions at http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/BALUN/Balun_Fabrication .
For a comm antenna the lengths should be 59 cm or 23.25 inches vs. 26 inches. The
RG400 cable solders easily and will not melt.

Hi All
Tried to fly on limited panel today in my Europa, Cheap instruments as seen in
many Europa's, Turn Co ordinator bouncing from side to side, dependant on the
DI only, the thermals tossing it about made it a very unstable instrument platform
making flying extremely difficult.
I would not like to be in a real situation in bad weather on limited panel in a
Europa.
Give me a Robin to fly IMC a nice stable platform.
Regards.
Alan

I am doing my IMC training on my Europa. It seems fine to me.
You seem to find such fault with the Europa why did you buy one?

Kevin,
I am not sure on this maybe you have the answer,
But as far as I know the Europa is not cleared for flight in IMC.
and if ever you find yourself in real cloud being bumped around in bad weather
on limited panel I think you will find it quit frightening, and maybe a change
of underpants needed. Cloud is beautiful and fun to fly in, but it can also
kill you.
The reason I purchased a Europa is that it can be trailed around as you can de
rige the plane in 20 minutes, trailer it home for repair, store it in my garage
if I get short of money and can't afford the hangerage, few home built aircraft
have this potential , pretty simple reasons .
Regards,
Alan
