I did the engineering stress analysis of the Flyer BRS installation. It was abandoned
as it compromised the airframe and added mass.
If the Europa Mk3 was to be designed a BRS type system could be included with lower
mass and fewer compromises.
I provided content for the Flyer mag editions which chronicled the build, authored
by Miles.
I intent to write a piece for the Europa magazine one of these days. I am currently
re-stressing the aircraft and have a wing test rig and XS wing to perform
a test to failure.

My good friend and fellow Europa tri-gear owner has recently noticed a slight hydraulic
leak in a brake hose where it bends inside the baggage bay. He asked
Karen at the Scottow Enterprise Park and she kindly sent him two samples; one
black and one clear. But they both seem slightly too small in diameter, compared
with what the late Neville Eyre supplied with the Matco brakes.
The hoses which Neville fitted seem to be 1/4" = 6.3 mm.
The question to you guys is "Where should we look to find the right thickness of
brake hose? A go-kart spares shop?" My hoses are older than my friend's and
I would likely soon need this info as well. Thanks.

If Matco fittings are used, Aircraft Spruce has their brake systems.

My last flight in N77EU was an aborted takeoff when RPM would not get over
4800. Returning to the hanger and chocking the wheel I got 5100 RPM and smelled
oil smoke on shut down so I removed the cowl to find upper right stud
on #2 cylinder had snapped off and was laying on top of the ignition wire so
Im sure it failed on the ground because it surely would have been lost had it happened
in the air.
