Even at .07 (consid ered a fine balance) one can feel the shaking at this out of balance condit ion on a two blade. Get the prop down to .04 or better on a two blade prop helps vibration quite a bit. Three blade props feel smoother because they change the frequency of the pulses but they two should get a very fine bal ance. We have all gotten lazy as propeller manufacturers all statically balance t heir props. However the spinner and on some gearbox engines, the rotationa l balance of the engine/prop together still need to be fine tuned.

The problem that arose once I started flying, and it may only be my prob lem, is that this area is not very rigid and my compass vibrates=85..a lot. Enough so that I added some stiffening to the underside of the instrument module. While it did help, it did not alleviate it completely. I just wante d you be aware prior to your decision as this may have some adverse effects for your compass.

I ask because the mounting procedure offers little slack=85i.e., no second chance...and I want to get it right the first time. And I=92m wondering what that "optimum position=94 might be=85?=85 With only =93hangar flying=94 experience, my sense is that the best positio n would be to mount the adhesive pad provided as high as possible on the wi ndscreen, along the aircraft=92s centerline=85 A different approach would be to rotate the bracket with the mounting pad a nd adhere it to the top of the instrument panel module, again on the aircra ft centerline=85 Or is there, perhaps, another alternative? Have Europa pilots with in-flight experience settled this question?=85or ha s the digital world eliminated the need or desirability for what=92s become a little anachronism?

During my annual, I placed my choke k nob I was showing to someone someplace where I wouldn=92t loose it. Dam this getting old sucks. I don=92t care to buy a whole choke cable from Europa. I believe the choke knob thread is BSF =BC-26 fine thread or fine brass thread. Does anyone h ave a substitute knob. I need the nut also I guess, but I can make that al so. I am prepared to make and tap a T handle (easier to pull) and re-drill and tap it to do the job. I really don=92t care to make work if someone knows of a substitute knob. If I have to make one, it will be as shown: [cid:image002.jpg@01D4CABC.62CBE8E0] Then drill and tap to the =BC-26 BSF Thread Best regards to all.
