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.

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.

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.

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. -------- Regards Kelv Weston Kit 497 kelv@kdweston.biz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=470288#470288 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
