Subject: Re: Europa-List: Radiator duct and cooling
Hi Will, sounds like you need to move the duct forward, there should be something
like a 1''+ gap between the rear [ 45 degree ] corner of the duct and the bottom
of the S/S firewall. Limiting factor is the coolant hoses to the rad' getting
too close to the exhaust, they will need lagging in firesleeve and reflective
foil oversleeve, [ good thing to do anyway]. Cutting holes in the ''roof''
will only make things worse, the high pressure air in the duct will go up into
the cowl and make a bad job worse.
Not very much air gets through the inlets as supplied, Bud's mod's to the cowl
set up would be the way to go if you intend to operate in warmer climates. We
[Bud and I ] came to the same conclusion at the same time, 3000 miles apart, which
is one of the reasons I did my own cowls / FWF Kit. There are pictures of
my cowls / baffles on this site somewhere, someone more ''techie'' might be
able to direct you to them ?
Cheers,
Nev

Subject: Europa-List: Radiator duct and cooling
I fitted my rad duct and the radiators and its all fine. Cowling fits as well..
However the roof of the duct is pretty much up against the firewall. I am assuming
that i need to open the roof of the duct to provide an exit for the air
which comes in through the two round holes in the cowling. Is this correct?
Also I seem to remember that there is a ratio between inlet and cooling air exhaust.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks
Will

| Subject: | Re: Rotax 914-UL |
Although I was a victim of an overboost a few years ago and thus already needed
to replace the engine, I would always go for a 914 again, especially since my
flying is normally around FL 100 but also often above. At MTOM in FL 100 I see
TAS around 125 kt at 19 l/h.
In my experience the 914 runs happily on 95 octane premium car fuel (I refuel at
the car station on my trailer almost any time) up to temperatures of 40C OAT
and up to FL 160 without any hiccup. I cannot remember Rotax recommending another
fuel for the 914 compared to the 912S.
Another clear plus is, that the 914 is not at all prone to carburetor icing (at
least without intercooler).
Still the best Rotax engine in my opinion.

Dan,
We just finished insurance renewal on our mono-wheel. Check with Sky Smith. We
have used them for several years and they have placed us with Global. Avemco

Buds instructions are pretty comprehensive as usual
I shall move the round intake holes up to level with the spinner as
suggested.
I would very much like to see any pics of cooling shrouds/ducts. the
aluminium shrouds on Bud's website look like a lot of work.

Will=2C
Only the sealing of the radiators and the opening up of the exit area by mo
ving the firewall are necessary=2C provided you increase climb speed on lon
g duration climbs. 12AY and most others still cool quite well with just se
aling the radiator gaps=2C leaving the cowl stock=2C and moving the firewal
l to behind the nose wheel.
Mono's can use our flat firewall to increase cooling exit air.
If you have long ground taxi=2C must do max performance angles of climb in
30C or hotter weather=2C is engine plenum ducting necessary.

Thanks again Bud,
The thing is that I have the engine installed and the firewall done per the
manual. Id be loath to undo it all however if thats what it takes.....
Do you have an instruction of how to put the firewall behind the nose gear
frame? Or a picture at least. I can imagine roughly how it might be
done...im thinking putting in a bulkhead and lining it and the tunnel with
firewall blanket. I assume the bottom is not covered allowing the air to
exhaust.
Thanks
Will

| Subject: | Eastern US Fly-ins |
There are two fly-ins coming up in September in the eastern US, both of which sound
like a lot of fun. Unfortunately, they are the same weekend. One is in Kentucky,
the other is in South Carolina. We encourage you to attend whichever
works for you based on your location and weather. It would be great to have
a group of Europas at both!
Triple Tree Aerodrome Fly-In
September 9-13, 2015
SC00 / Woodruff, SC
We plan to attend and camp at this fly-in and hope many other Europa owners will join us. The venue sounds terrific and there should be lots of planes to see, interesting seminars on Saturday, great food and nice grounds to walk and enjoy. The website with full details and arrival procedures is http://www.tripletreeaerodrome.com/triple-tree-fly-in.php
EAA Rough River Fly-In
September 11-13, 2015
2I3 / Rough River State Resort Park, KY
We have attended this fly-in and there are many activities, ranging from poker run & spot landing contests to bluegrass music on Friday night and a banquet on Saturday. The website for more information is http://kyeaasportaviation.tripod.com/
If the weather doesnt cooperate for SC, and is good for KY, well be there instead!
