Fred,
I posted a thread concerning this on Oct 5. The link to the FAA website is there.
Just SEARCH Europa List using LODA. You do need to have a LODA for your
Europa but it's free and easy to obtain. This is a rule change that was effective
last Fall.

It's so terrible to see all these disasters. Hope you are well and no human
lives has been lost.
Feel almost too safe here in small quiet Denmark. (Except from seeing
what's happening a few hundred miles eastwards)
Keep safe.

Have you read the two Dykins booklets? There is some information in them.
If you don't have them, I think I have scanned copies.

We managed to get a short first flight for 2022 on Friday. The snow melted and
it was sunny and pleasant.
Saturday we discovered that the brake pads were a little worn and the piston was
cocked in the caliper which explained why the brakes were marginal the previous
day. All corrected now.
Today, Monday, its cold and we have had rain, sleet and snow this morning. There's
about an inch of snow accumulated.

3/7
Jim,
I reconditioned my brakes the other day after a complete failure. About 20 y
ears use, which is good, with some fluid replacements through the years. Rem
oved the master brake cylinder top screw cap, drain brake fluid, disconnecti
ng the brake tube and removed the complete unit. Replaced the o-ring and spr
ing rubber seal. Most important to use rubber grease to get new o-ring and s
eal back, seated correctly. Reinstalled the master cylinder and connect brak
e tube.
Then dismantled the Europa brake calipar, disconnecting the tube, removed th
e calipar from the disc, remove the piston and replaced the brake pads and p
iston o-ring. Reinstalled the piston using rubber grease to seat it probabl
y, making sure it moves evenly. Then reinstalled the calipar onto the brake d
isc and lock wired. Primed it from the tyre end with an oil can and plastic t
ube, forcing brake fluid up into master cylinder until overflowing, which yo
u see from below, and then replaced master brake cylinder screw cap. Exercis
e brake lever then redo priming to get all the air out and =9Chey pres
to=9D a new brake. Very satisfying. Luckily had a local Brake shop tha
t had the o-rings and spring rubber seal and did the new pads.
For what it=99s worth.

| Subject: | TACHO and FLYDAT |
Hi
I am not having much success with pairing a Flydat and a Aviasport / Rotax tacho.
The Flydat records correct RPM but the Tacho reads half of the Flydat.
If i disconnect the Flydat the Tacho reads correct.
Has anybody else experienced this issue or is there a special way to wire the pair
together.
I have read all guides and understand the need for a resistor but i dont think
i am at that point.
I would be interested to hear from any user that has both the Flydat and a Tacho
Thanks
Pat

| Subject: | Wing Tent and travel cover |
Hi Group
Does anyone offer a nice tent for sleeping under Europa wing? Perhaps made out
of really thin Silicone high performance Parachute cloth that slips over wing,
is enclosed with zipper down windows on ends? Will probably stuff into softball
size.
Same question about travel cover for Europa including 1 blade of Airmaster condom?

Ron,
I dunno about the tent but I bought a used lightweight travel RV-6 canopy cover
(or 7, I would have to check) with the hope that it would kind sort of fit.
Guess what, it fits like a glove! It is just a tad short on the sides but fits
fine. The shape is indeed correct.
I can take some pictures if you want to see it on.
Chris

I know you are talking about a different unit but I was told I couldnt have both
my new mgl ems-1 and the rotax tach at the same time (per mgl). So left the
rotax tach connector and wiring untouched and ran a new wire and connector for
the mgl. That way, if Im traveling, I can swap if the mgl fails (not in the air
of course). I guess I could have a switch but too lazy to do that.
Still, if anyone knows how to have both working Im all ears. Probably just an impedance
issue.
