I notice that Demon Tweeks supply a range of fuel filler caps that
resemble the earlier Classic style. It is difficult to work out the
sizes from the limited details given on their site, but a call to them
might give you that information.

Truth be told I've found the speaker on the Icom to be quite loud enough to use
on just about any general aviation aircraft without a headset. It certainly is
not ideal but it's one less thing to fiddle with in an abnormal situation. If
all I intended to do was to re-enter the traffic pattern (circuit) and land
its perfectly fine for that without a headset.

I've tried a number of folding bikes and I would have to second the recommendation
for the Brompton. I hate that they are so expensive but I do believe them
to be the best.

Generically speaking, an impedance mismatch of the microphone will cause the
a lower transmitted sound volume. That is because the mismatch will cause a lower
voltage signal into the transmit input circuit.
A whine or squeal is usually the fault of a feedback loop. Could it be that the
mike was too close to the headset speaker when you were testing it?

I get a brompton in the back of my mono and it doesn't have the extended baggage
bay mod.
Its very useful for about 6 miles, Shoreham to Brighton, Staverton to Brockworth,
Vallance byways to Crawley etc.
After a few rides and years you forget the price. They also hold their price for
resale.

How sad, my thoughts are with the family.
He was kind enough to advise on several things and took me for a flight from Bicester

| Subject: | LAA/CAA IFR permission on europas |
I am very interested in this when it comes out.
I see the article in the LAA mag defining the probably approach for a permit
I was trying to find out what the min instrument fit for IFR is?
I imagine AH, DI, ASI, VSI, ALT, turn Coordinator, clock?
I couldn't work out if it meant the CAA were insisting on certified instruments
I cant see the point in DME, VOR etc so perhaps a couple of GPSs
Thankfully I have kept my IMC license valid so thats one less thing

To all owners and operators.
I received a call from a client who inadvertently misplaced his gas
cap. His kit is a about a 2001 XS and Europa-Aircraft (2004) does not
have stock on these older caps.
Come to find out, the caps changed in or about 2003. All caps on
newer XS kits have a smaller cap and ring (65mmOD).
What to check.
If you have a fuel cap supplied with your kit made by SPRL that
measures 70 mm OD on the gray cap, these caps are no longer in
production and the new 65 mm caps do not fit properly. Aircraft Spruce
and Wicks do not have any old style caps in inventory.
Classic caps and the newer XS kits are available but the cap and
flange have to be bought at an average price of about $60-$70. On the
older pre 2004 kits if you have the 70 mm cap and you wish to upgrade to
the newer style, you will have to cut the fuel ring out and replace.
Not fun especially since the diameters are different.
Please review the pdf document attached for details on the
differences.
I am putting together a special order for my Custom Flight Clients
for the older 70 mm caps through Newton SPRL. The price is reasonable
and less then current retail. I highly recommend that older XS kit
owners purchase a spare in the unlikely event your cap may disappear.
We are not supplying the key lock. This is a one time shot as it is
coming out of my pocket for the R&D. I cannot expect the current Europa
Company to support these pre 2004 kit fuel caps as it is not
economically viable to do so.
However, determined owners like myself will attempt to make a
special order through the manufacturer happen to keep my clients happy
and supplied. You are all welcome to piggy back on my efforts and
research.
Email or call in your order to me direct, not through the Matronics
site please so as not to clutter up the site.
