Especially how this larger radiator improves the cooling (issues). I went through a lot of tinkering in the first years of ownership of my XS-914-installation and finally found a good solution with the standard radiator. However I'd think that your results are interesting also for other XS-owners. Even more so, since Europa seems to have problems in supplying the former Mocal radiator. Therefore I'd appreciate it, if you could share your experiences, how the larger radiator copes with high OAT and longer ground runs!

However I don't have a parking brake installed but just use chocks to secure the aircraft while parked. The system is filled with DOT 5.1 fluid since I purchased it from the previous owner 8 years ago. I seem to remember that it has to be modified to use DOT 5.1.

My Trigear lives in an enclosed trailer from Anschau and I rig it single hand any time I go flying, which is a non-event.

It has been quite a while since we started writing pilot apps for Apple smartphones and iPads. Our family of apps for aviation has grown into 11 very handy and unique tools for people who fly (or dream about it!). Here's a brief list of the Apps with links to the App Store for more information and a sampling of screen shots to see the apps in action. The latest App is Runway Finder. This app was suggested by a buddy, a retired Delta Captain who owns a Citabria. He does a lot of cross country flying and complained that it was hard to find a grass strip to use away from home base. This App maps out airports by runway surface and type (Turf, Paved, Gravel, Water, Glider, and Heliport). Runway Finder has a built-in list of over 50,000 runways/airports world wide. It is available on the Apple App store at: https://apps.apple.com/app/airport-runway-finder/id1471923024 Plane Registry. A FREE app to lookup US-Registered aircraft from the live FAA database. https://apps.apple.com/app/airport-runway-finder/id1471923024 Local METARS. A very handy weather app for local conditions. Just open the App and it will display the current METAR conditions at the closest reporting station. You get the option to look out up to 100 miles and sort by bearing from your location. No more scrolling and endless clicking to get the Wx you need for local flying. This app works with world wide reporting stations. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/local-metars/id1150644548 We also have a stand-alone version of Local METARS for the Apple Watch https://apps.apple.com/app/local-metars-for-watch/id1447757207 Civil Twilight Calculator. CTC is a self-contained sunrise/sunset calculator for use anywhere. No calling home to the Naval Observatory! It doesnt need internet access at all. Use it in flight! It can tell you accurately when Civil Twilight occurs where you are, or at an airport around the world, on any day 50 years. If you do have internet, you can give it a street address and see the calculated times. https://apps.apple.com/app/civil-twilight-calculator/id1163850946 We also have a stand-alone version for Apple Watch: https://apps.apple.com/app/civil-twilight-for-watch/id1448137376 Aviation Altimeter (aka avAltimeter). Not a GPS altimeter like most on the App Store, but a True and Accurate barometric altimeter using the built-in sensors in iPhones after iPhone 6, or iPads after the Mini-4. Has a Kollsman adjustment for ATC or METARs reports. Looks and feels just like the steam gauge in your panel, but with Smart features: Density Altitude, Oxygen Warning timer, and estimated aircraft Performance, auto-set at airport, etc. https://apps.apple.com/app/avaltimeter/id1120306812 The stand-alone version for the Apple Watch: https://apps.apple.com/app/aviation-altimeter-for-watch/id1434085253 VOR Navigator. Truly unique! A fully functional VOR and HSI navigator (using GPS, not VHF). Includes all current VOR and NDB transmitting stations plus a number of recently decommissioned ones. Also includes DME and ADF modes. The App will also home to all Large and Medium (Commercial) airports. Check out the Add Lightning mode for the ADF for a true vintage experience! This is a single hybrid App, which works on both iOS devices and the Apple Watch, each independently from the other. https://apps.apple.com/app/vor-navigator/id1451733763 Crosswinds Live. Another very unique and handy App. Crosswinds Live contains the runway diagrams for all registered airports world wide and will draw the current wind across the runways. The wind information comes from the METAR station closest to the airport. Also computes the headwind & crosswind components for flight planning. https://apps.apple.com/app/crosswinds-live/id1240254020 Sun Compass. Compass broken? Lost on a hike? If you can see the Sun or the Moon, this app for Apple Watch can help you out. The Watch does not have a compass built in, but, using the GPS and some fancy astronomy calculations, this App will point to North, and show you your direction of travel. For Watch only (iOS has builtin magnetic compass hardware) https://apps.apple.com/app/sun-compass-for-watch/id1448262474 Safe Flying! -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=490377#490377 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:01:31 AM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: New Europa Tri-Gear owner, looking for trailer From: "h&jeuropa" If you are a member of the Europa Club, there is an article in a past issue of the Europa Flyer concerning a tri gear trailer which is open, not enclosed. There also are drawings of a custom enclosed trailer. There is at least one tri gear owner I am aware of that stores his in an enclosed trailer. I will ask him to contact you. I'm pretty certain other tri gear owners use commonly available trailers with a few modifications. Perhaps Bud Yerly will comment on trailers his customers use. Where in Canada are you located? There may be Europa owners near you I can refer to you.
