Subject: | Europa Flyer Issue 39 |
Hello all. I have been looking at the Europa Club new look website and have been
trawling through the old editions of the Flyer magazine. I found on the site
a list containing an index of tech talk items covered in the different issues.
Now i am very interested to see the Tech Talk section in issue 39, page 14.
It is "Rudder Deflection Checking". It hasn't been scanned in on the website
and thought i would put a post on here to ask if any of you have a copy of this
issue could you please look to see if the article is there and if at all possible
could you send me a copy, PDF.
Many thanks Frank

As David Joyce suggested, the factory manuals are available on line, either at
the Europa Club website or the factory website. Chapter 1 contains Europa Technical
College which is an introduction to working with composite materials, identification
of the materials used in the kit and a project to use for experience.
The epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth supplied with the kit have been called
out by Aircraft Spruce part numbers in the thread by Mike Duane. Ive not
purchased Expancel but I imagine the factory has it available and there are probably
similar materials available from West Systems. Chapter 36 has instructions
on finishing, not just painting but sanding, smoothing and contouring.
I strongly suggest you seek out assistance. Like brain surgery, you can do it by
yourself, but some guidance may produce better results, faster and easier!
Im pretty sure you identified yourself a few weeks ago on this forum and you are
located near Phoenix, AZ. I see there are four EAA chapters in the area and
all offer Technical Counselors. I think there is an airplane kit completion
business near you (Phoenix Composites?) that has helped others with Europa kits
and could be a good resource. Bud Yerly, Custom Flight Creations also offers
assistance. There are Europa owners and builders near you too. Contact me
(use the message feature of this forum) if you would like me to ask one of
them to contact you.

Frank,
Actually it is in the Factory Newsletter issue 39 (see the Y in the Tech Talk column).
I will scan it and can email it to you.
I'm glad to see you are using the index! Are there any changes that would make
it better?

Im having to replace my throttle cables, as general maintenance has revealed the
the STBD carburettor was failing to advance to fully open. On further investigation
it was found that the cable was tight in the outer sleeve. Ok, fully
removed the same cable was also kinked at the lever in the throttle box.
Has anyone found a good fix or improvements for this?
In the throttle box the friction setup could also do with some improvement too.
When the correct friction is set, the lever does not slide between the friction
washers but turns against the nuts instead. Has anyone found a better solution
for this too?
The manual suggest not shortening the cables but some may have shortened them.
How has the worked out ?
Any UK mods would be helpful, or suggestions to submit a mod. Or maybe a simple
fix.

Richard and all,
The idea of relying on a spring to ensure throttle opening seems
peculiar to Rotax.
The following fix is flying on hundreds of Rotax powered aircraft
without any problem :
Replace the cables with piano wires so that the throttle somehow becomes
a push-pull control.
This is a definitive cure for kinked cables at the throttle, excessive
cable friction, loss of synch etc.
BTW, thousands of Lycoming or Continental aircraft are flying with a
push-pull throttle control and no spring.
Hope this helps,
--
Best regards,
Gilles
