| Subject: | Autopilot servo instalation |
I have seen searching through the list that there are some alternatives to
the major surgery required for Mod 75 and 76.
For example I saw some correspondence between Raimo and Bob Gowing
connecting servo to the tail plane torque tube using a bracket. I assume
that the service is mounted on a fiberglass bracket mounted on the floor
....
Could I prevail on anyone who has who has an alternative to the official
mods and which does not require major surgery send me a pic please.
Many thanks
Will

Hello,
Look at the solution I adopted from 330 hours and is much simpler than
the proposed mod.

Gents,
I'm a member of Matronics on the Pietenpol builders list. I'm wondering if any
of you might be able to give me the contact info for Karl Heindi, the owner of
C-FIRS. Myself and a partner are looking at a Europa XS and are only a few hours
from him. The aircraft we are looking at is across the country and we'd
both like to see Karl's aircraft and speak with him prior to making the commitment
to travel a much greater distance.
Thank you.

| Subject: | Electronic Flap position indicator |
Has any member tried to install a flap position indicator rather than rely on the
actual markers on the flaps themselves?
There are various types of panel mounted indicators available and
combined with a sensor on the flap actuating tube it should work ok.
I am just fishing for ideas

Isn't this just over complicating matters. Looking out of the window is fool proof
nothing to go wrong.
I love gadgets but can't justify this one.

I very much agree with you Kevin, but my neck gets cramp sometimes temporary restricting
movement. A panel indicator would help on those occasions that's why
I posted the request.

Bill

The servo that comes with our Europa has a 10-position LED light which will
report the position of the flap. If you have electric flaps, then you
already have it, since it comes with the kit.
If not, the same company that manufactures the electric servo's to move the
flaps also has a sensor that you can mount to the flap mechanism (whether
you have electric flaps or not), that can be used to provide positioning
data.
