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 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=475203#475203 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:33:01 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Resins, faring compounds, etc, Need help From: "h&jeuropa" 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.

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?

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 Wheelwright G-IRPW First Flight 24th July 2013 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=475280#475280 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:35:20 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Europa Flyer Issue 39 From: "spcialeffects" Thanks very much Jim.

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 http://contrails.free.fr http://lapierre.skunkworks.free.fr ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:38:18 PM PST US From: Subject: =?utf-8?Q?Re:_Europa-List:_Re:_Resins,_faring_compounds,_etc,_Need_help?
