    Subject: Re: Trim setting question
    Just remember that during build you are allowed a tolerance of round about 1 degree in the tail plane incidence. This is enough to change your trim settings for any particular situation. It will also explain differences between various aeroplanes.

    From: "h&amp;jeuropa" <butcher43@att.net>
    Most days at our house begin with a cup of coffee and then to the computer. I check email, weather, Matronics and Facebook for new posts. I also check new posts on VansAirForce.net. On the weekends the VAF moderator starts a thread entitled What did you do with your RV this weekend? I find this thread interesting. Often there are flying stories, but also building stories, photos or motivational posts. Id like to do the same here on Matronics and I hope Europa owners around the world will join in. Our flying season in Michigan is about to end with snow on the grass runway, but those of you in the southern US, southern Europe and southern hemisphere should be going great guns. Show us what you are doing! Ill start a new thread each week. Jim Butcher N241BW XS Mono 914 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505392#505392

    Sunday was a beautiful afternoon in southern Michigan. Temps were above freezing and the sun was out. A short flight along the Lake Michigan shoreline was the result. The snow from three weeks ago is all gone - green Christmas. Finn enjoyed the flight too!

    - 12/26 Here in the PNW, our rare white Christmas continues while I awakened to even rarer temps of -11 degrees Celsius. November one niner four X-ray Sierra, full of coolant good down to -36 degrees F, and with 3/4 tank of ethanol-free mogas, rests in her un-heated hangar. Task for today is pattern-making for long-delayed leather covering of seat and seat back cushions; industrial seamstress is lined up for early January.

    Thanks for your replies to my question about fuel stabilizers. All the best to Europa owners/flyers & builders for 2022 , - it's got to be better than this year ?? Paul Munford - Kit 625. G-OVPM -----Original Message----- From: h&amp;jeuropa Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2021 7:31 PM Subject: Europa-List: Re: Fuel stabilizer Paul, We've used Stabil every winter for over 15 years with no problems. We are located in Michigan and due to snow, the airplane is stored in unheated hangar from late December until March. We try to have the tank about 1/2 full (8 gallons or so) with our usual Mogas. We pour in the Stabil per their instructions and run the electric pumps (914) with the throttle open. In the Spring, we top the tank with fresh Mogas, do a detailed runup, take a couple circuits around our home airport and then fly as usual.

    - 12/26 I sure hope all yall had a wonderful Christmas! Ive spent the last week chasing down a squeak in the aileron rigging. Finally found it this morning. Inside the fuselage, of course. A tufnol bearing seems to be the culprit. Applied a bit of Tri-flow Superior Lubricant with PTFE and that seems to have done the trick. No more obnoxious squeak. Now all I have to do is put the airplane back together. Have a Great Happy and Prosperous New Year!

    From: "h&amp;jeuropa" <butcher43@att.net>
    Interesting this has come up. Our trim has always been near the bottom of the indicator in cruise. I assumed it was because we usually traveled with Jethro, a 50 pound dog in the rear. But after Jethro died, we adopted Finn who is only 20 pounds. The trim still is near the bottom which confirms the operation is correct. I verified the tailplane trim tab relationship like Pete Z and all is well. The change in CG between 50# and 20# isn't much so it all makes sense. I haven't verified, but I understand that the trim motor runs further than the indicator, ie you have more down trim available after the indicator is at the bottom. I use the trim indicator a lot. The "0" or middle position trims the plane for about 65 kts with gear extended. That is the takeoff configuration. During landing I set the trim to one or two lines above the "0" position which results in about 55 -60 kts with gear extended. With the speed set, I control rate of descent with power. It works nicely. Jim & Heather Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505397#505397

    Sounds familar, tho with full power and your trim setting, I've got alot of push required on climbout- not good (to me). I take off with the indicator pretty well half way down the down side for a more balanced stick, which results in a forward trimmed stick on engine failure, which i prefer. Cheers!

    Pete, To answer your question ....... yes. The thing that intrigues me is not the fact that nose down trim is needed because that is quite normal but the fact that it needs so much nose down trim. A few years ago I asked the question on this list ........ why is the trim/antiservo tab always displaced so far upwards in cruise (nose down)? I asked this because I observed it in many photos of Europas taken in flight on an angle from which the trim tab could be observed. It must cause considerable drag I would think!
