Im about to upset everyone, but Ill be the bad guy.
Many of us have expressed opinions about the latest LAA Mod 15833 from the LAA
and the directives mandatory time frame to install. Some have complained the
Europa door loss has disturbed the controlling agencies quiet bureaucratic life
thereby forcing engineering solutions to be implemented on the double.
My desire is not to upset everyone, Im not intending to, but more of a reminder
of pilot responsibilities and training.
The UK Europa fliers have lost 8 doors in roughly the last year. In the US, I
see or hear of about one door lost every other year or slightly longer. This
is a real problem for the Europa community.
If we were teenagers, it is like taking the family car out and riding around and
you are driving a bit too fast for the T intersection and hit a curb and wall
damaging the right front wheel and suspension of the car also. Costing the
family perhaps thousands and increasing insurance rates (perhaps loss of insurance)
and weeks of downtime. The curb you hit is in the historic district of
your town. So, you get grounded, no car privileges and out money as Dad insists
you learn the lesson and pay for your mistake. The mayor has had 8 traffic
incidents in this area and directs the city hall to make a law forbidding traffic
in this area unless a special collision avoidance equipment system is purchased
and installed on all vehicles transiting the historic district. I know
that is a bit much of an example, but lets take a rather subjective view of objective
data from the Europa door loss incidents.
Ill condense this down to the vitals and put out a pdf on my website and perhaps
the Club will pick it up. If Andys and my data are correct, this may be an
essential for our second hand owners to review. No pilot worth his salt ever
turned down training about his aircraft.
If you care to, read the attached draft pdf in work that has more of the details.
None of us have all the answers. But our cumulative collaboration may drastically
reverse a current trend.

Bud Yerly

There was a bug in the Squelch function, which I fixed yesterday.
Should work from now on.

| Subject: | Oil temperature issue during climb |
Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with my oil temperature during climbing. The oil temperature
rises quite fast into yellow arc and would rise further without interrupt
the climbing phase. During horizontal flight everything is good.
I do have an Rotax 914, with the lowered oil radiator and a small lip at the outlet
behind the radiator. Last flight was below zero degrees and still a big issue.
I guess it all comes from the angle of attack, that gives turbulence's into
the main air channel.
Do you have any ideas how I could improve this issue?
How about removing the oil thermostat?
Many thanks
Marcel

Hi Marcel I'm sure others will chime in, but here's some info from someone not
yet flying XS Mono with 914: If you didn't already do so, read Bud's excellent
Cooling 101 on Club Website. Let's start at the radiator intake: Did you smooth
out just inside cowl? Foam and glass is what we did. As far as radiator duct,
it needs to be sealed really well. We used Mcfarland Cowl Saver Baffle seal
which has a Teflon coating on opne side, you can score it to allow for better
bending. You can score both X and Y for compound curves. We needed to glass better
contact surface in a number of areas to get good sealing. We used Silicone
foam to seal radiators to duct and radiator to bottom cowl. We sealed the oil
lines to the radiator duct by installing 2 layers for firesleeve. We have a
cowl flap that completely closes and opens with bottom at a 30 degree angle hanging
down from cowl in down position. We have the radiator duct sealing really
well to cowl on their 3 sides.

| Subject: | Oil temperature issue during climb |
Marcel,
If you have dropped your Mocal oil cooler supplied by Europa, as Ron said, ensure
you seal your duct bottom, and sides.
As you know the oil cooler is not as wide as the glycol cooler. The gaps between
the metal duct and the fiberglass cowl must be closed or oil cooling is ineffective.
If you shine a light you should only see light coming through the fins. No where
else.
Also, as a reminder, please check your oil temperature sender. I use a separate thermocouple or infrared thermometer to verify the sender/gauge is working correctly. You can swap the oil and cylinder sensors if you suspect the oil temp probe is not working. See my troubleshooting manual on my website www.customflightcreations.com
If the ducting is tight, and the sender is good, you potentially have a supply
or return blockage. If you have an oil thermostat in the line, it may be not
working properly or closed so the return line is blocked by the thermostat. It
is possible to incorrectly hook up the oil lines creating a restricted flow.
Also check your oil tank vent line is clear and not holding pressure.
Personally, my 914 even in hot climates never runs over 250F degrees on a hard
climb. Normally the glycol will climb to 245F (roughly boiling point in the heads)
well before the oil gets to the limit.
I hope you find the issue.
Best Regards,
Bud Yerly
