| Subject: | Looking for ideals on landing lights and placement |
I had two HD lights in the cowl of my Jabiru powered Europa, but they turned out
to be useless. I'd like to hear or see what others have done for a landing
light and placement.
I recently installed a 40amp alternator and electrical power is no problem now
that I got rid of the so called 15 amp Jabiru alternator.

| Subject: | Mono wheel versus Tri-gear |
Hi Guys - I'm rather hoping that you can help us with this please...
My husband and I are looking to hopefully buy a Europa in the not too
distant future and we have received a lot of advice from non-Europa owners
that we should go for a Tri-gear rather than a Mono wheel. I would very
much like to know the pros and cons of both please, and in which
circumstances each shines - from real Europa owners!
Huge thanks
Hazel

Both fly just wonderful. It=99s how they handle on the ground that set
s them apart. Tricycle gear is very tame while the mono =9Cmust=9D
be flown every second on the ground or you can find yourself in trouble.
But those are not the only two options. There are quite a few Europa=99
s with conventional gear.

Hello Hazel,
The Europa is a fantastic aircraft with a great
following. There's also a third undercarriage consideration the
conventional taildragger.
Best wishes

| Subject: | Re: Mono wheel versus Tri-gear |
Hi Hazel,
My Europa was built by me as a mono and first flew 20 years ago, before the tri-gear
became an option. About 4 years ago I converted it to the tricycle configuration,
after two VERY experienced friends who I allow to share it ground-looped
while landing. Both have been instructors and both have adequate tail-dragger
experience. I wanted to eliminate the worry about when it might be damaged
again, hence the conversion.
My own flying experience stretches back over 50 years, including 10 years as a
military pilot and thereafter 34 years flying commercially. I have about 650 hours
flying the Europa as a mono and 274 hours flying the military North American
AT6 (Harvard) WW2 trainer, which is a tail-wheel type. The Europa is more
difficult on landing than the AT6, due to the absence of differential brakes to
assist in keeping it straight.
I have greatly enjoyed flying this superbly designed aircraft in both undercarriage
configurations and have no doubt that you'll love it too. Even so, unless
you have considerable tail-wheel experience and/or get lots of training before
being let loose alone on the Europa mono, I'd be inclined towards acquiring
a tri-gear version (with 100+hp to overcome increased rolling resistance on soft
surfaces).
No doubt there will be disagreement with this statement, but "it isn't if, but
when" you'll have a mishap while landing a mono. I was just lucky not to be caught
out similarly to my two friends.

| Subject: | Re: Throttle cables |
Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response, however, it seems I haven=99t been
receiving the Europa List Digest. Thought I would check the Matronics
site and sure enough I missed the last week or so of email traffic.
Anyway, as Jim & Heather noted in their post I used a Bowden cable from
Aircraft Spruce (p/n 05-15500) and wrapped it around a small round cable
bushing, AN111-3, forming a =9C?=9D This way the cable end
s up on the centerline on the bushing. I can=99t recall if I Red
ux it or soldered the cable to the busing. Has worked without issue for
the last 15 years.
Also, using a Bowden cable is in my opinion superior to the Rotax cable.
With the latter you must rely on the springs to advance the cable as y
ou can=99t effectively push a rope. There has been at least one i
ncident in which the cable kinked when the throttle was advanced too qui
ckly. This can=99t happen with a Bowden cable as it is designed fo
r push-pull applications.
Good luck,
Erich Trombley
