| Subject: | Hi and ADSB-Out in my Europa |
Hello Europa friends,
It's been a couple of months that I have been away from the forum. Life got a bit
on the way but I'm hopping to socialize with you all again.
I have been flying my beloved Europa quite a bit. It's nearing 300 hours now and
running better than ever. I finally got my DUC prop properly balanced with it's
new CF spinner and the engine tweaked to the point that it is running soooo
smooth :) . I also dropped the pitch a little on the prop and found a sweet
spot were I am cruising at 132 knots (5100 RPM) and the takeoff and climb are
exhilarating! Still need to paint and reinstall the speed kit so maybe I will
gain an extra knot. OK, a lost a little speed but the takeoff at full weight
is much more relaxing. Need to finish this thing one day but I am having so much
fun as it is that I haven't found the time to work on it much.
So reading back older posting, I saw one about the uAvionix ECHO and a question
about ADSB solutions in the Europa. A while back I bought a used uAvionix SkyBeacon
and installed it underneath the baggage compartment on one of the floor
support ribs, right next to the access cover. I never thought it would work adequately
being underneath the baggage floor but it has done so perfectly. All
the PAPR reports come perfect and no complaints from the FAA. I though that once
I placed stuff on top of it the GPS signal would be blocked but it has been
OK so far. Maybe if you place a lead plate on top it would be an issue but with
regular baggage not so.
The install could not have been simpler, just two wires (power and ground) and
I used double sided tape to stick it to the rib (also surprised it has not come
off). I have a GTX-327 transponder. There is a setting in the utility app for
this unit that lets you turn the light part of it off.
For ADSB-in I have a GDL-39 inside the starboard headrest pocket. The antenna on
this unit went bad so I made little dipole with some thin coax cable I had laying
around and a dirty straw with some hot melt glue and the silly thing, stuck
to the outside of the headrest next to the door, now lets me see a bunch of
stations really far away.
Crazy, but no issues with this setup in 3 years.
Chris

During the DUC open house in Sebring. Got a new $$CF spinner (the one I had before
was terrible).
One pic shows Monsieur DUC himself inspecting the prop install by his son. It was
fun to sit back and watch someone else work on my plane for a change :)
