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.

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 :) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=513567#513567 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/72919030835_6c0593ab_105e_4dc2_8a53_6c017b8e7f7e_2_764.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_5357_1_851.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
