I think it would be quite appropriate at this point to dig out the "As Built"
schematics for your aircraft. It sounds like you are not the original builder
so you would find it quite useful and educational to trace the big fat
red wire (+) from the battery terminal to see where it goes. It should go,
after a very short run, to a small steel cylinder, less than 2 inches high
and about 1.5 inches in diameter. This is should be your Master Contactor.
The contactors commonly used in light aircraft draw about 800ma in the
control solenoid and it will certainly drain your battery if left on without
the alternator spinning.

I cant find the reference just now, but I recall seeing an inspection item somewhere
in the Europa documentation that called for the fuel inlet banjos on the
Rotax carbs to be at the correct angle. However, there was no indication on the
document what that correct angle might be!
Here is a link to pictures of the carbs on my engine as-supplied:

and I wonder if anyone can tell me if they are at the correct angle.

I agree with Ira, it's time to get the as built schematics. Without those, it's
anybody's guess I would think.
And since we're guessing already, I might chime in... reading the original post
there's two things going on:
1. Electricity is being used when all switches are OFF and engine is not running
2. Alternator field comes on-line when MASTER is OFF (suggested by the jump of
voltage to 14 some Volts when switching to OFF)
I can think of one wiring scenario that explains both symptoms: this electrical
system has a relay that brings the alternator field on-line when the MASTER switch
is OFF.
When this scenario is indeed what we have here, I would think it is safe to assume
also that this relay ONLY gets energized with the MASTER switch in the OFF
position, otherwise you would see 14 some Volts with MASTER in the ON position
also.
Don't ask me how you would have to wire things to make this happen, maybe the type
of switch for the MASTER switch is of another type than you're thinking? Might
be worthwhile to check, but again you would need the as built schematics
to come to the proper conclusion...
I know, this all sounds far-fetched and unlikely, but it would explain things...
(OK, go ahead and send me off to the nut-house now [Wink] )

| Subject: | Re: Tailplane Slop |
Hi All,
I'm bumping this topic, because I am in the process of manufacturing the 11969
assembly in preparation to install and hit a confusing snag, which I hope previous
installers can help me with.
Over the weekend I completed 2 off TE01, and was just "fit-checking" everything;
which is where I hit my snag but I am not sure where.
The BOM in the mod calls for MS21059-L4 anchor nuts and CCR264CS-4-2 rivets; which
I ordered.
The problem is that the rivet won't pass through the mounting hole on the anchor
nut baseplate.
Checking my delivered paperwork, I was supplied with CCR264CS4-02 in leiu of CCR264CS-4-2:
but this turned out to be a "supplier part number" issue and is not
a physical one.
Checking the specifications, the CCR264CS4-02 rivets are 1/8" (0.125")in diameter.
The MS21059L4 spec sheets indicates mounting hole diameter of 0.098".
Measuring the parts carefully I am certain that I have been supplied with the correct
parts against the BOM for the mod. Therefore I am not sure where the snag
is at the moment.
Has anyone else hit this snag, if so what was the solution?
Thanks,
Jon
