The sensor to monitor the coolant temperature has to be installed in the line between the expansion tank and the radiator inlet. One option suggested in the manual is a 'Tee' piece in the line, the sensor fitted into the tee. Does anyone have any experience of this or know of an off the shelf sensor assembly installed in such a 'Tee' piece please?

They have an aluminum tube that inserts into the line between the expansion tank and the radiator. It has a threaded fitting on the side for a temperature probe. I have one installed on my Rotax 914.

I flew to Sun&Fun in 2011 a nd am itching for another coast to coast adventure. I remember calculating t hat I got 31 mpg at 160 KTAS. We do indeed have sweet little planes. Work gets in the way for me, too, however with planning in advance I'd be up for another east coast trip.

My problem is I now live at Leeward Air Ranch in Ocala FL. I t's so tough to count on weather that far plus I'm busier than I've ever bee n in my business and I am a one man show so it's even harder to plan & take t ime off. > Life is good living with Gold Rush as I can now fly 2 or 3 times a week in the evenings or weekend mornings. Funny... There's about 150 aviators here i n the ranch and I have the fastest GPH plane here. For all you other Europa f ans out there stay one. We have a great plane. I was going to sell her but w e have solved some of my health issues and I no longer fear losing the medic al. Just a quick update on us ;-) > Anyone traveling thru the state is welcome to land and spend the night her e. I can help arrange an east cost fly-in in central FL if anyone is up for t hat and we would be glad to host such a thing. We have a 6000 X 150 feet of s ome of the smoothest grass you'll ever land on here. > > Hope you all are doing well!! > > Jeff & Karen Roberts - N128LJ Gold Rush > > > > >> On Aug 15, 2014, at 12:41 PM, Kevin Klinefelter wrote: >> mail.com> >> >> West coast sounds good. >> Kevin in Bishop CA >> >>> On Aug 15, 2014, at 2:11 AM, "h&jeuropa" wrote: >>> >>> >>> Wow, no comments in two weeks. >>> >>> Is anyone interested in getting together this summer?
