| Subject: | Europa Gap Fly-in 2019 |
For those who have not seen the announcement on the Europa Club website, we are
doing it again this year. The dates are June 14-16, hopefully with favorable
weather conditions and better attendance than last year. See the proposed program
and registration form below. The hotels may be very busy during the summer
season, so book early. For the organization of the Fly-In, the earlier we receive
your registration form, the better. So if you are planning to attend, please
register now!
More detailed informations to come later on.
Looking forward to see you there.
Remi Guerner

| Subject: | Elevator trim cutout switch |
I have watched the thread regarding runaway elevator trim with interest.
My panel was built by Aerotronics in Billings, Montana
(http://www.aerotronics.com/) and I have flown for over 1,000 hours
without any trim issues. However, the photo and sketch diagram below
show a trim cutout switch which Aerotronics included in my panel and
this may be of interest to Europa owners. The switch is 3 position :-
* Up = NORMAL
* Center = OFF
* Down (momentary spring loaded) = EMERGENCY REVERSE
Aerotronics comments about this switch are shown here :-
/.we started doing this after a Glastar crashed when they experienced
a trim runaway. This switch allows you to at least stop the trim if it
were to start to run away and even feather it back to a neutral
position using the momentary reverse position. It an easy thing to
wire up. I dont have a professionally drawn schematic but I quickly
drew it up and scanned it here for you to look at. I drew it two
different ways, they are the same exact wiring just one is drawn
pictorially and one electrically/
If you have difficulty seeing the images on the Matronics link, please
contact me direct. I will be happy to send them to you.
Cheers, John
