Hi,
I've just fitted a powerful 3480 lumen LED landing light to the cowl of my Europa
(G-URMS). It's powerful enough to light-up an unlit runway at dusk/night. It
has been inspected and approved by the LAA. The LAA mod number is 14394.
I can send you pictures if required.
Regards
Carl

Hi David
If it's ok We would like to join you at Elvinton. It's only a short hop
from Sandtoft. I think the weather is clearing up for Saturday. I have
picked up the brief from your previous posts.
Best Regards

Hi Graeme,
I've just finished (I hope) kitting my plane out for the IFR certification. I'm
in the same hangar as Peter Pengilly who is one of the LAA chaps that's made
all this possible. I'm waiting for him to get some time and then the next step
if for a test pilot to check if the Europa is going to be a suitable model.
I sounds like you may be a little further along the process than me. Also, I have
a Warp Drive carbon(?) prop, so I'm not sure if I'll have the same issue as
you regarding the prop.
Perhaps we should compare notes, etc? Two heads and all that. Email or call me
if you'd like to chat.
Regards
Carl

Kelvin,
The switch is a pressure switch. With the relative wind nearly straight on
the air into the tube is under suction. The switch is assembled to the ho
se to the leading edge using its pressure side. The switch is normally ope
n so with suction on the tube, the light is off at low angles.
At about 14 degrees angle of attack the switch is now under pressure from t
he ram air. The switch is normally open and at about 3 inches of water ish
, the switch will close and allow current to flow to the light/horn.
Once you land, and the speed diminishes, the pressure drops and the switch
opens and the horn goes off.
Not rocket science.

Subject: Europa-List: Re: Stall Warner - switch problems
Hi Bud and all
Now I am really confused. I have fitted the Europa stall warning mod and sw
itch but not yet used in anger.
How is this switch designed to work?
Is it normally closed and held open by pressure above a certain speed.
Or is it normally open and is closed by low pressure (vacuum), like a conve
ntional Cessna stall warner, caused by the angle of the wing.
The mod leaflet suggests it is operated by vacuum, but your description of
it being on until above a certain speed suggests the first option.
The switch has a hose connection to both sides of what I assume is a diaphr
agm, so it is easy to connect incorrectly.
If it is normally closed then does that result in the buzzer operating cont
inually on the ground until above the stall speed?
I think that would eventually get to be a bit of a pain, especially during
long holds on the ground.
