Have you got one? I would like an XS model although a 'nearly XS' might be considered. It must have a Rotax engine and I would prefer to stay away from a turbo. I have an open mind with respect to landing gear arrangement. Based in the UK, I am willing to travel but given what we have done to our currency recently I might not be able to afford anything that isn't priced in s! If you are thinking of selling yours please drop me an email with details to europa(at)flagunfurled(dot)com or give me a call. :D Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473567#473567 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:20:20 AM PST US From: "ami-mcfadyean@talktalk.net" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Re: Full trigear speed kit vs hinge fairings only Can't find anything in the NACA library, except:http://naca.central.cranfield.ac.uk/reports/1955/naca-rm-a55c30a.pdfwhich applies to swept wings.Logically, there may be an effect in reducing the spanwise flow over the outboard section of the (fowler) flap, when the flap is deployed. But drag in that configuration is a definite advantage in getting the a/c on the ground. Might be worth exploring to see if there is any detectable decrease in stall speed? Duncan McF. ----Original Message---- From: craigb@onthenet.com.au Subj: RE: Europa-List: Re: Full trigear speed kit vs hinge fairings only While on the subject of the outer flap hinge, given its location, my thoughts were it might be advantageous to turn that hinge faring into a "fence" to help reduce spanwise flow. What say yee gentlemen to that.

So is the gear. Gear drag is interesting. The legs and brake callipers actually produce more drag than the tyres and wheels."

It spike to 60a and them immediately went bavk to 7a. I aassume that this is an instrument anomaly. But....I want to check whether everything is behaving normally. Both in engine running 3000 rpm (normal operation): 8 a 13.8 v Pull the alt cb: indicates 1A, 15.5V and then back to 13.8 Pull the batt cb: no change: 8A 13.8v assume everything runs off alternator. Pull both cb: non dynon instruments go dead...dynon continues to function on back up battery. Indicates 1a 13.9v. I am assumjng the 1a is the dynon back up btty So to me this seems normal. 1. When you turn off the battery everything runs off the alternator - normal volts and amps. 2. When you turn off the alt the system runs off the batt...i dont understand why the batt should be 1a (the back up batt). The main batt is an 18 amp hour batt. Does this sound ok?
