If any Europa flyers are not committed to other events this weekend they may be
interested in visiting Lydeway Field for Nigel Charles' annual BBQ. Due to some
cancellations there are slots available. Lydeway is a lovely long, level and
smooth strip SE Devizes.
Contact Nigel at nigelcharles123@gmail.com for briefing .

William, Congratulations on behalf of the Club. It would be good to have
a brief account of your build process (+ trials & tribulations!) and the
first flight for the Europa Flyer.

| Subject: | Toe Brakes with Parking Brake |
Hi Bob,
I intend to attend the LAA rally on Saturday. Weather permitting it will
be in my a/c so you can have a look-see at my park brake system. I am
deliberately not sending the mod details since very little of it really
refers to what you intend to do with your machine. I only make the
comparison, that you seem to be using all the same components as me and I
have not found any problems. Your actual physical installation will
inevitably be quite different.
You should be able to find me on the Europa Club stand around midday on
Saturday as I am supposed to be manning it around that time.
Regards
Pete

Hi Bob,
I have got a mod approved by the LAA which uses the old foot brake cylinders
(Kart) together with the PVPV-D park brake cylinder. The system works just
fine but I do have it operating as finger brakes. What you are proposing is
the same hydraulically as we have, only leaving the Kart cylinders on the
floor instead of the pedestal.
If you would like to contact me personally for more information then please
call me on 07720985011 or direct to my personal email address
pjeffers@talktalk.net Regards Pete Jeffers

Subject: Europa-List: Toe Brakes with Parking Brake
Has anyone experience of installing a Parking Brake with the standard
Tri-Gear Toe Brakes ? I have read the various 33T documents from the
Builders Manual, but only the Finger Brake version mentions the Parking
Brake, and I have no wish to convert to the Finger Brakes.
I am wondering if something like the MATCO PVPV-D can be used in line
between the standard Toe Brake Cylinders and the Wheel Brakes , or if
further modifications of the hydraulics system are required ?
I have added a diagram from the MATCO website which shows the PVPV_D
installed with their vertical brake cylinders, but the comment about their
vented reservoir cap being the highest point in the system concerns me,
considering that the standard cylinders used on the Europa are horizontal.

| Subject: | Conversion guidance help needed from newbie :-) |
Hi everyone
Just joined the forum as I'm seeking a little conversion wisdom from the group,
as I've been offered a half share in a Europa XS monowheel.
I currently have a PPL (M) with lots of flexwing experience but minimal 3 axis,
so just a couple of questions. I've written to the LAA, the Europa club, Europa
Ltd, spoken to a few schools and devoured the web but am still not crystal
on the best way forward, so thoughts welcome......
1..Am I right in thinking that I can fly a Europa on a NPPL (SSAE) if I plan to
keep to the UK? I think I need to do min 3 hours+an exam, but would obviously
do whatever is required to reach the standard/be comfortable.
2..Assuming the above any guidance welcome on the best way of going about this?
Could it be better to do the NPPL and taildragger conversion at the same time
on the Europa, or to to do the NPPL first (probably on some sort of non Europa
tri gear) and then separately converting to the Europa afterwards.
3..If I separate the NPPL and the Conversion, any recommendations for things I
should bear in mind for the NPPL bit e.g type of school aircraft to aim for?
Does it matter most school aircraft seem to be tri gearand potentially very different
from the Europa?
Sorry for all the questions and many thanks in advance for any answers

Hi Jeremy, I'm sure lots of people will pitch in, but I just wanted to say that
I've been flying my Europa Classic Monowheel on an NPPL for the last 10 years
or so.
Monowheel is a bit like a taildragger and a bit not like a tail dragger. There
is a very good write up by Mike Gregory referencing John Brownlow on ground handling
a monowheel. I tend to paraphrase it by saying keep the tailwheel on the
ground for as long as possible on take off and get it on the ground as soon
as possible on landing - this is not classic taildragger, where you often hold
the tailwheel off the ground. There should be plenty of people available to help
convert via the LAA or Europa club. The bit I struggled with was the height
reference - the monowheel is very low to the ground, much lower than most things
you might train on. My only taildragger experience before the monowheel was
on a 3 axis microlight and I did my NPPL conversion on a Bolkow Junior. I did
get expert Europa club conversion on to the monowheel and can't overstate the
value of that to me.
I admit that I largely stick to grass and avoid significant cross winds - this
might be a problem if I used the aircraft for touring, but I don't, I just fly
for the fun of it.
I don't think that the monowheel is difficult to handle, it just requires a specific
technique and perhaps a more sensitive hand? (you can't just plonk it on
and apply the brakes!)
Best of luck. It might not be easy, but it's certainly possible
