| Subject: | Overcentre stop distance for undercarriage locking on mono |
Hello to all,
Does anyone know the amount of over centre required on the middle pivot between
LG04, LG07 and LG05?
I ask as when installing a new landing gear on a new MT01 frame it was "under
centre" by 3 mm. The stop tubes were not the same height either!
Thank you for any information.
John

| Subject: | Re: Europa xs or classic? |
There are a few differences between the two. Easy to tell signs are the cockpit
module centre tunnel. The classic has the 'fat' featureless one and the XS has
a raised bit for the throttle and a bit more "shape" to it. Second the port
foot well is longer that the stbd side on an XS but the same size on a classic
which is why the classic has an extension piece for the port rudder spring. Other
differences not easy to spot are that the XS wing is longer than the classic.
The XS aileron is made of two foam cores and the classic only one. The classic
has a separate foam core fin and the XS's is part of the top moulding and
a few other things as people have mentioned above, however if c/n 095 stands
for construction number then yours will be a classic.
Many thanks frank ki#165 Classic

Your Europa airframe is much-travelled! It was built by Ken & Mark Whittington
in Alberta, Canada and they reported it first flew 1998-10-16 although the registration
C-GMKW was only issued on 1998-10-21 . After only 3 hours flight time
(!) it was converted from mono to tri-gear. It was offered for sale in 2000
and in about Sep 2002 it was sold to Jack Acord of California USA and re-registered
N24070. He called it an XS when registering. At that point my trail (records
from my time as Europa Club membership secretary) runs out.
The XS model was introduced in, I think, late 1999. The kit number 095 indicates
that the first part(s) of the kit were ordered well before the XS was introduced,
and the first flight date indicates that it was completed before XS parts
became available. The highest UK kit number I can find for a Classic is 355.
However, many folk ordered their kits in several parts, so could have (eg) a
Classic tail kit but XS wings and/or cowl. All sorts of hybrids are possible,
including those arising from later modifications. The easy things to spot are
the wings (Classic - foam cored; XS - pre-built ribs & skins) and the cowl (Classic
- wide oval inlets; XS - small circular inlets plus dangling radiator duct).
If the tailwheel is underneath the fuselage rather than under the rudder
then its a Classic fuselage - but you wont see many of those as most of them have
been converted to the XS tailwheel for better handling.
> My Europa has the Pitot tube on the tail but does not appear to have any static
source. Where should it go?
The fin-mounted pitot was an early Classic feature. It was a good idea in principle
as it meant the pitot line did not have to be disconnected when de-rigging
the wings, but it suffered from blanking by the fuselage at high angles of attack
(eg when landing) and was also within the propeller blast so readings could
be misleading. I dont know where the static port was for the fin pitot; the
static port was combined with the pitot head when it was moved out of the propwash
underneath the wing. Adding a pitot/static head to either Classic or XS
wing could be an interesting exercise, but there may be folk here who can offer
helpful thoughts on that process. To get sensible advice, youll need to find
out and tell us what type of wings you have.
Hope some of this rambling is of some use!
in friendship

| Subject: | Tailwheel fork bushes |
There are two bushings in the tail wheel fork, mine are a bit sloppy, looking for
replacements. Just checking to see how much play is normal or acceptable and
if these are readily sourced.

If you haven't discovered it yet, that font of all Europa knowledge - The Europa
Club Website has a good explanation of the differences:
http://www.theeuropaclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Classic-or-XS-2.pdf
The early clasic had twin static vents, one on each side located mid-fuselage just
behind each door. If you peer in through the "D" panel, you should spot the
pipework.
