I would like one which I plan to pair to a 3 bladed woodcomp (with extra twist) as recommended by David and others Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=435295#435295 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:45:55 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Woodcomp Prop & Controller From: "Roland" 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!

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 Rowland | Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ... | http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk | Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson | pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rowlandcarson ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:35:37 AM PST US From: Pete Lawless Subject: Re: Europa-List: monowheel brake caliper mounting position 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.
