I am just about to finally bite the bullet and order an 8.33 mhz radio. I currently
have a Microair 760 and favour the Trig TY91 as a direct replacement. Has
anyone made the transition from Microair to Trig TY91? If so what are the pitfalls
to beware of. From trawling the web I see that Bournemouth Avionics seem
to be offering the Trig at a good price. Anyone used this company?

Hi Richard
Made the change 12 months ago. Excellent choice and having the ability
to listen on 2 frequencies at the same time is really useful.
Only issue with the install was that I had to run a third wire to the
headset jacks. Bit of a pain as my headset jacks are in the rear roof
panel. This may have been required because the original installation
used a separate intercom, which has now been removed.
No knowledge of Bournemouth Avionics.
Regards
Pete

Hi Richard
The pitfalls depend on the existing configuration and your intentions. As
you know the Trig has a good built in intercom so no need to worry about
getting connection to an existing Intercom right. The biggest complication
I came across with an existing installation without an intercom is that many
PTT switches are simply wired in parallel. The TY91 has a priority circuit
so that if both crew try to transmit at the same time it gives P1 override
powers. This means the PTT switches have to be separately wired. Not a
problem electrically but often a pain because of the access to the stick
wiring. If you intend to keep your existing intercom the Trig wiring
diagrams helpfully explain the connection requirements for a small range of
intercoms. If yours is not on the list you are on your own but gives you
the general idea. Trig themselves are very helpful if you hit any
installation snags.
The TY91 has a separate control head so that you can mount the main unit in
a supplied tray anywhere that is convenient. This is OK with a new
installation but finding somewhere to mount it on a Europa is a bit of a
puzzle and can involve lots of wiring changes because of the physical
location of the main unit being very different to the standard fit on the
panel.
Mendelsons normally offer to make a loom for you but current demand
precludes that unless you are prepared to wait a long time. They will,
however, supply the wiring in lengths you want FOC.
Good luck!
Brian G-DDBD

Hello Europa Builders Group,
So I ended up buying kit A291. The poor thing really deserved to be built after
all the sweat and tears Marty put in it and I am happy to help continue this
project.
Speaking of Marty, he and his wife are the most wonderful people I have ever met.
Despite the fact that I am sure Marty is sad he couldn't complete the build
and he had to see a total stranger take it away, he and his wife invited me and
my son to their house, gave us lunch and Marty gave me everything else he had
for this kit (and tons of advice). All this with a huge smile and continuously
offering to help.
I am going to make sure I keep him in the loop by posting updates and pictures
of the project. And a flight once it's done for sure!!
So right now it is in my hangar and I am going through inventory. Not an easy task
because I haven't been able to really find a detailed list of what's in the
kit. I got the spreadsheet from a forum member but will need to see if this
is really a complete inventory or a list of what someone had in their workshop
during construction.
But so far I have been able to find everything I wanted to find. So I should be
in good shape.
I hope I don't drive people crazy with my questions. I am an somewhat experienced
composite builder (building a Cozy IV) and there are a good number of very
experienced builders in my community but I love to be a part of the type forums
and tend to tap a lot into the collective knowledge (after searching of course).
In terms of introduction, I am a 50ish Engineer (Mechanical and Electrical, Medical
Devices) and a Pilot (ATP, CFI, A&P, with a short stint flying regional jets
for American Eagle before I ran out of money and had to go back to Engineering).
I live in a Fly-In community in FL and own a LongEZ and a Kolb Firestar.
Used to own an old Mooney I restored before the darn thing became too expensive
to keep).
So with that said, looking forward to meeting you guys through this forum and perhaps
in person.
Regards,
Chris Martin

Hmm! Installation could be a problem then. I fitted a Trig transponder a while
ago and struggled to find a place for the main unit for that. Anyone got any other
recommendations for a one piece radio which will fit in my existing 2 1/4
inch hole. I already have an intercom. I note Mendelssohns offer FUNKE and Dittel
which would appear to do the job. Any feedback on these units?

| Subject: | 912ULS Carb drip trays |
Next question! I would like to fit a pair of drip trays under the carbs on my 912ULS
to protect the carbs from the heat from the exhaust. It looks very tight
under there, especially on the starboard side close to the starter motor. Can
anyone reassure me that they will fit OK before I order them? I do have the
Rotax carb heaters fitted also.

Richard,
I have also a 912ULS with the Skydrive carb heaters. The drip trays fit. The
original Rotax mount didn't go with this setup and I had to make my own
attachment - no real problem. If you like I could send you some pictures.

OK, I am slightly confused. Alfred says that they will fit but Ira says not. The
drip trays I am looking at are the bowl shaped cast aluminium ones. They mount
between the inlet manifold and the rubber flange that the carbs bolt to. Maybe
there are other alternatives.

| Subject: | Fuel UL91 question for UK or European pilots |
One of my friends who shares my aircraft will be taking it away for 2 weeks, to
an airfield where UL91 is on tap while mogas needs to be fetched in jerry cans.
Does anybody out there know of any issues with UL91, i.e. will it degrade the "Tupperware"
plastic fuel tank? Nev Eyre states "No one knows for certain long
term. Not seen any failures attributed to it."
I have considered using it myself if ever I go touring, but never contemplated
using it exclusively for a long period.

Jonathan, I have used UL91 ever since it became available at Gloucester,
and without any modification to my Rotax systems. It is approved for a
range of Rotax engines and IMHO is a more reliable entity than Mogas,
which can vary considerably in its contents. On top of that it works v
nicely on my 914

David. Thanks for the quick and encouraging response. I've advised my friend to
go ahead and use it whenever he likes.
To everyone else and as a complete aside, I've done about 10 hours flying since
completing the installation of Neville Eyre's cowls and engine frame to replace
the Classic set-up. I couldn't be more pleased with my investment of money
and time. No performance loss, no more hot starting problems, no great difficulty
taking off with a strong left crosswind. Many compliments at the change in
appearance and improved fuel consumption to boot!

There are indeed two different types of Rotax drip trays. I have the flat version
that Rotax sold with their airbox. I don't know if they sell it separatly.
See the attached pictures.
