Thanks to those who have responded to my question. It seems only two Europas are
fitted with the Gemini. Raimo Toivo says his Gemini (an early model AI only
) never worked properly while Graeme Bird says his (recently installed auto pilot
version) works perfectly. That is not enough to make statistics! Personally
I am very satisfied with my experience with the TruTrak Pictorial pilot I installed
5 years ago, so I will probably go ahead with the Gemini ADI.

Hi Remi
I was looking at the information on th Gemini, just out of interest, and
spotted a response on a forum suggesting ordinary attitude information
was about to be available as an option. May be worth asking TruTrak.

Hi Gary
Your description and picture was very helpful. =46rom your picture I presume
you have used the LONESTAR CYCLONE - 21 COOLING FAN. My Europa mono XS has
been flying for some sixteen years now and I have owned her for eight years
. The panel has built in inspection points already, and is also moveable, so
hopefully access should not be a issue.
I am not the original builder, but do fly regularly with him. Great knowledg
e source and buddy. (He spends half his time in the UK, and like you winters
in Florida). Half a dozen differing solutions to the problem set. This foru
m is an outstanding knowledge resource.
Many thanks for your suggestions.
Regards
Bob

I have a very simple instrument panel in my aircraft but was conscious that
there is not a lot of room behind the panel and it gets heat from the
engine and the sun beating down on it.
I recently changed the radio and transponder to the Trig TY91 and TT21 and
put the "hardware" boxes in the back behind the D panel. This frees up a
lot of space in the panel for air circulation and moves the heat source
elsewhere. I think there are other manufacturers offering split systems as
well but I am happy with the Trigs performance.

Hi Gary,
I am the owner of the fist Europa Motor Glider flying in the UK
and am in the unbelievable position of still trying to get a valid Permit to
Fly, so far it has taken about 7 years! (We don't have an experimental
category here. Yet). The present problem is trying to get an increase in
maximum all up mass from 1370 to 1470 lbs. Noting the equipment you have in
your machine I wonder if you could tell me what mass you operate your
machine at, and if you are aware of any handling issues at high masses? Do
you operate with a restricted C of G range and or restricted VNe? We am
currently limited by the LAA to 127 knots VNe, C of G limits between 58" and
62.5"but the reasons for this seem to have been unspecified or lost in the
mists of time. The current empty mass of my machine is 989 lbs at a C of G
60".
If you prefer to come back off line my e-mail is iancook_1@hotmail.com
<mailto:iancook_1@hotmail.com> .
Look forward to hearing from yourself and very interested in any operating
issue advice that you can offer to help justify the current work going on in
the UK.
Best Regards
Ian Cook

In the attached picture you can see my panel. I (with the terrific help of
Bud Yerly of Custom Flight) made the panel easily removable - takes about 10
minutes to remove the entire panel. This has paid off some many times, and
makes doing IFR 2 year checks very easy if the inspector wants to check
everything.
My plane is IFR with a Garmin 430W, a 330 GTX Mode S transponder, a Grand
Rapids HX, an engine monitor, a Tru-Trax 2 axis autopilot, and several steam
gauges. Yes, it all fits but it is tight. And it is heavy - 42 lbs. for the
panel. And it produces a great deal of heat. So we put in a three hose fan
drawing air from the passenger foot well, and two exhaust fans - original
two inch (as shown) but now one is a 4 inch fan. The top fans are on a
thermostat and a timer, running off the secondary battery. When I land, if
the temps are up in the panel, the fan goes on for about 45 minutes.
The three hoses from the fan go to the HX, 430W, and the EXP buss box (on
the right side of picture with all the plugs over top of it). The box was
made to improve cooling and keep stray wires or dropped tools from causing
shorts in the EXP buss). The two hoses - to the Garmin and to the HX are
not in the picture.
The secondary battery also runs the radio and trim and autopilot through a
"soaring" buss for use when the engine is off for soaring (I have the glider
wings also), and can be used for clearance delivery on the ground so you
don't have to run the engine (and possibly overheat) or wear the main
battery down when getting your clearance. I do have the top mounted, belt
driven 45 amp alternator as well as the standard 20 amp Rotax alternator.
Even if I lose the HX or the main battery I still have the Tru-Trax to keep
wings level and to get heading. The steam gauges give me altitude, speed and
climb/descend rate. And in extremis the Foreflight gives me an additional
backup.
I do have a spare handheld ratio with its own antenna with a connection to
the secondary battery if I lose the Garmin. It is not tied into the intercom
system so I have to plug it into my headset if I want to use it.
After getting the system up and running I have had no problems keeping the
heat down behind the panel. I did originally have panel heat problems when
doing my flying off time in Florida in the summer - outside temps at
altitude above 95 degrees F.
Good luck. I think the work necessary to make the panel removable is worth
it. I would also recommend making the connections to the engine easy to
disconnect so you don't have to cut anything when the engine needs to be
removed.
The system works great and the Europa is great IFR platform, except I could
occasionally use another radio - but no room. Just takes some planning.

Hi Roger / Donald
I am in the middle of embodying this mod although with larger bolts (I already
had Mod 62 pins fitted).
Did you use the AN960 washers under the bolts on TP9 and TP12?
The pictures appear to show the use of cuddle washers. I thought this might be
better and manufactured some cuddle washers from 4130 steel tube.
Also, did you paint / protect the nutplate in the torque tube or go with a regular
spray of ACF50 or similar?
I also thought this was the best solution to the tailplane problem and would recommend
this mod (although not tested in anger as yet).
My thanks also to Richard and Ian.

Jim & Alan, I am inclined to add a couple of words of caution for those
about to embark on full scale leather and impact foam upholstery:
1. It can weigh a considerable amount
2. It is inflexible in terms of size of pilot/pax who will fit
An alternative is to have relatively light weight cushions (mine were
recycled from an old Citroen in a scrap yard, chosen for their pleasing
appearance and light weight) with variable amounts of foam or other
cushions to adjust to pax size. It has worked well and been pleasing to
the eye for 14 yrs, and contributes no doubt to mine being one of the
lightest 914s in the fleet.

I am wanting to contact a mr Jim Butcher regarding his development and/or sales
of the second alternator which fits and runs off the rear of the rotax engine.
If someone could post his current email address that would be great or better
still if he's reading this please contact me.
Many thanks Frank X, classic kit #165

Frank,
Here I am.
I removed the second alt a few years ago. The coupling eventually failed. By
being careful about power requirements, I use only about 10 amps in flight.
My Europa is IFR with Garmin 430, Garmin 327, Garmin 340, two GRT Sport EFIS.
I have LED position and strobe lights. No autopilot. No pitot heat.
If you want, I have drawings and details about mounting alternator to rear of engine
but I don't think it is necessary.
