This week it's time for the nose wheel. Now, my Europa has a self-retracting (spring-loaded) tail tie-down. I'm unsure whether this is standard or something that the builder came up with himself (as I recall, it might be custom for this a/c individual). Any idea if such a tie-down would be safe to use for raising the nose gear? I'll sure check with the builder as well, but any thoughts would be welcome. / Erik On 2020-09-27 00:14, budyerly@msn.com wrote: > > In my effort to prepare info for second hand owners of the Europa, I found the following info I did some time ago. > > I quickly updated it to add some newer information for folks to consider as most A&P mechanics have no idea what to do with a Europa when the pilot/owner non builder is confronted with something as simple as a tire change or annual service. > > I hope this attachment is of some service. > > Bud Yerly > Custom Flight Creations, Inc. > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=498561#498561 > > > Attachments: > > http://forums.matronics.com//files/tire_change_of_a_europa_166.pdf > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:06:26 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: ADS-B GPS / WAAS antenna install From: "h&jeuropa" Ron, This is an early GRT EFIS magnetometer that has two 3 wire shielded cables. I put ferrites on both wires. GRT recommends placing the magnetometer in the wing tip. But since I anticipated using both sets of wings, I did not want to have to recalibrate the magnetometer when switching wings, hence the interior placement overhead.
