| Subject: | Re: Woodcomp Prop & Controller |
I had a conversation with Mark burton about 4 months ago and he is working on a
new prop controller which he hopes will be ready early next year. I would like
one which I plan to pair to a 3 bladed woodcomp (with extra twist) as recommended
by David and others

Hi Jerry,
Frans Feldmann in the Netherlands has fitted a big two blade Woodcomp and therefore
modified his nose leg on PH-DIY to achieve some centimeters more ground-clearance.
If he doesn't answer here, you can try to get in contact with him by e-mail:
frans@privatepilots.nl
Good luck!

| Subject: | monowheel brake caliper mounting position |
I seem to recall a discussion some years back about the optimum position for mounting
the monowheel brake caliper, because folk found in service that there was
a problem with the standard position.
Ive searched the Matronics archives for the Europa list but have not found a relevant
message thread.
The manual illustration shows the brake caliper mounted in-line with the landing
gear arm, but (without drilling any new holes) there are 2 other possibilities.
Can anyone tell me which one is the optimum in practice?
And is there any LAA Engineering issue with changing the brake mounting?
in friendship

Hi Roland
Just rotate it round by one hole so the caliper is pointing backwards
more or less horizontal. Mine needed a small bulge made in the side of
the wheel well to accommodate it. The idea is that if you get a flat
tyre it does not get ripped to pieces by rubbing on the caliper.
