| Subject: | How to properly hoist a Europa Trigear |
Hello again,
One hopefully simple question: How do you best hoist (or jack) a Europa
Trigear for landing gear maintenance?
At some point on the fuselage? On big cushioned plates under the wings,
centered under the main spar?
Also, is it safe to lift the nose wheel by pushing down the rear part of
the fuselage, perhaps using a wide collar placed just ahead of the
thinnest point, strapped to a weight or attaching point on the floor?
Sincerely,
Erik Gunneland Dahlbck

HI Erik,
Use an aluminium or steel rod, can't remember the diameter, and push into t
he leg, first remove the cotter pin. Length should be at least 50cm. then j
ack it up with your hydraulic jack. You can now remove the wheel up to the
jack.
Now place a block of wood under the leg end and lower the jack and remove i
t, and the wheel.
For the nose gear I had an eye bolt mounted in the garage floor. Then used
a ratcheting strap just
ahead of the fin, looped through the eye bolt, and lowered the tail that wa
y. Or get someone to push down the tail.
Karl

an option to get everything off the ground (if ever needed) is to hoist the
plane from the top two engine mounts (on the fuse frame side of the
rubbers) using straps, and support the tail.
Cheers,
Pete

Thanks Alan and Remi,
80-90 in*lbs is in line with what I use in the Clevelands (75-80, at one point
they changed it a little).
Alan, what do you mean by page 370 of the combined builders manual. My big paper
manual is divided in sections so a little hard to find page 370. I looked around
the manual (its been a while I looked at it in its entirety) and can't find
a list of torques.
Best Regards,
Chris

Oh, just wanted to post a picture of my Europa doing taxi test last weekend. Very
exciting moment to be able to finally put all the parts together, see it as
complete airplane and take it around the neighborhood for a spin. As you can
see a lot of things are still being held by Clecoes.
Still lots to do to complete (pretty much all control surfaces and wings need filling
and lots of little things here and there but it is a complete machine right
now.
Special thanks go out to the this group, the Europa Club and in particular Bud
Yerly for all the help and support during this arduous process. I'll post something
when the airplane finally flies which I expect around the beginning of next
year.
Now all I need to do is find a way to put the wings on that doesn't take an hours
(how in the world Europa claimed the setup would take less than 5 minutes dunno)
Maybe with practice :D
Chris

Chris I have a pdf copy of the builders manual, Combined Builders Manual, I downloaded
from the Europa Website.
It contains all the build info for mono and tri-gear builds. I found the torque
settings in there, page 370. Or section CBM 29T.
You need to register with Europa Site to access.

| Subject: | Undercarriage & Flap Lever on the XS Mono Wheel |
Has anyone ever created an extra long lever or an additional attachment to make
the Undercarriage Lever easier to operate?
I have arthritis in the knuckle joints of the first 2 fingers of my right hand
and found it quite difficult to push the lever forward to put down the Mono Wheel
& Flaps.
I was thinking of a longer lever which would give more leverage?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice.

OK got it Alan. The tri gear manual does seem to have a little more info on torques
for some of the landing gear components. Not so much for the mono but Remi
provided a torque and I'll go with that. Thanks

Hi James,
Not quite what you were asking for but I get a better & more comfortable
hold on both brake & gear levers with bike handlebar grips.

Roger
