| Subject: | Regarding raising the nose wheel - 9/27/2020 |
My advice for this is from Bud Yerly - Put chocks under the main gear on both front
and rear of the wheels. Use rope and four cinder blocks - two on each side.
Take the stabs off. Run the ropes through each two block set - (one block fore
and aft of the stab control shaft). The first time you will have to adjust
the length of the ropes to get the nose wheel where you want it. The blocks should
just hit the ground - it adds to the stability. Put the two sets of cinder
blocks on - and it will pick up the nose wheel right where you want (after
adjustment of the ropes). Works very well and goes well with my other precision
Europa tools (the carpeted bench to lay on when working across the baggage
area in the rear, and my wooden stand to hold up the tail when I am working in
the rear.

Many thanks, Bud
Last week me and our local mechanic used just that tube/bar into the wheel method
and it worked great for getting the mains off and back on.
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

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.

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.

| Subject: | Small issue with Becker 3201 radio |
Dear Europa forum members,
This weekend I installed a used (but nice) Becker 3201 radio in my plane.
The reception of the radio is crystal clear. The transmission is reported as loud
and clear. But .... it does have a small issue when transmitting. When you
press the PTT you can hear the carrier right away (we have an ASOS station that
records transmission for radio checks) but the modulation (the volume of your
voice) increases from nothing to full clear transmission over a period of two
or three seconds from PTT press. If you release the PTT and press it again within
a few seconds the modulation is OK right away, but if you wait say 30 seconds
the modulation ramps up in a matter of two or so seconds. But again, once
you wait the required two or three seconds, the transmission is loud and clear.
My mic and phone jacks are wired through a PM3000 intercom. I am in the process
of eliminating the intercom as a source of the issue by making a jumper connector
for the intercom to bypass it.
Now, I know that maybe this is the wrong forum for asking a radio issue question
but maybe someone out there has similar issues with a Becker installation in
the past. I know the Becker 3201 has a jumper for dynamic or "Standard" (I assume
standard is electrec) microphones. Don't know yet what it is set up to. I
read the Becker has a compressor mic preamp and it almost sounds as if the compressor
is ramping up the gain because its not getting enough signal from the
microphone so it could be that the mic type jumper is the way to go (I will try
that later today).
Anyway, just wondering if any of our radio savvy forum members has an idea I would
really like to save this otherwise fine radio.
Best Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris I have the same radio, only have ground tested it with a PMA 4000 and
seemed to work OK. You can call Becker and Gulf Coast Aviation and ask their opinions?
Can also call PM? Ron P.

Thanks for the reply Ron,
I just opened up the radio and checked the mic type jumper. It was set to Dynamic
so I changed it to standard (whatever that means, maybe electrec). It works
OK now although it seems that the transmitted volume is now not as high as it
was in the other setting it doesn't do that delayed modulation thing.
I did send a note to Becker USA. Lets see what they say.
Best,
Chris
