Europa themselves also sell the sight gauge tubing. Not Tygon as far as I know, but a clear polyurethane.

Mine has worked well and was easy to fit as part of the replacement of all the fuel lines. ...

Thanks for the explanation of the origins of the shroud. I have the 80hp 912 so that would explain why I have no shroud and yet no CHT issues I think. It’d be nice to have a 912S but I find the perf ...

Tim

No I don’t have a shroud around the cylinders and, as far as I know, the aircraft has never had one.

I have never had high CHTs, and still don’t even after the increase in oil coole ...

Interesting, Mike.

Mine is a Europa Classic with the 80hp 912. It does have the very small cooling intakes.

Since the oil cooler sits behind the port radiator, I was concerned that the ext ...

Here are a couple of photos of the new 16-row Mocal oil cooler installed on the back of the port radiator. Works a treat! PS. Glass wrap around exhaust has now been removed. It was only there as a 'ba ...

To remove the wheel I insert a snug fitting solid steel bar into the open end of the axle and jack on that. If you put the jack far enough along the bar away from the wheel, once you’ve got the whee ...

Thank you very much for the feedback and picture. Giving the oil cooler its own location makes a lot of sense but that’s quite a major cowl mod. For those of us in the U.K. it would mean going throu ...

Chris

Thank you very much for this feedback and positive comments about the system.

I can certainly incorporate this experience into my Europa set up!

Best regards

I am setting up the Trutrak Digitrak wing leveller in my Europa Classic (I acquired it second-hand and, yes, I know it's now a very old piece of kit!). This is being done under Europa Mod 75 with the ...

As part of recent work replacing all oil and fuel lines in my Europa Classic Trigear 912UL, I added firesleeve to both the new fuel and oil lines. In addition I have added heat-reflective silver foil ...

Hello Kelvin

I am one of those other Europa customers for the MT04 and have also seen, and commented to Europa, about this eccentricity.

Because they are quite ‘squashy’, once they are in pl ...

Hello Kelv

I’d be very interested in the door strut mod 66 pieces.

I could meet you at Popham once I’m back in the air (couple of weeks til my inspector gets back unfortunately).

Happy ...

My Classic Trigear conversion uses a large, rectangular, removable aluminium plate over the whole hole. This is held in place with screws that attach to L-shaped aluminium brackets glued around the bo ...

Jonathan

I’d be interested in this as am in the process of changing all fuel lines, including sight gauges.

Do you want to email me off forum to avoid clogging things up here?

Duncan

Thanks for the calcs.

Did you just turn down a steel screw to get the necking you wanted and would you recommend going that route over simply replacing the brass one (assuming they ar ...

Rowland

Thanks for that info. I’ll see if I can source them or will end up making them by turning a suitable machine screw as Duncan seems to have done.

Yes, there are two other tapped hol ...

Thanks, Duncan.

I have removed the arm now (and the crosshead screw does indeed have a nylon washer under it). I note the LAA requirement that this screw needs Loctiting when it is put back in, as ...

Thanks very much for this extra info, Duncan.

If you can find that spare stop that would be great. I had seen a picture similar to the one you sent of the stops in another aircraft application.
...

Thank you for the comprehensive reply, Duncan, and also for the replies from Alan and Peter. I really appreciate the feedback.

It seems that the Skymap III should work OK for us, despite its 0.5Hz ...

So, I've slowly been making some progress on this, having mocked up the whole system out of the aircraft. I have now been able to test it in the workshop and yesterday in a car (it needed to be moving ...
