We are moving from the USA to the UK, and I need to sell my Europa XS kit with considerable regret. The airframe is complete, primed ready for final paint, with a reconditioned Rotax 914 mounted, and ...

I can recommend GRT Avionics. Great support and less expensive.

I am looking for advice on fitting a Woodcomp 2 blade prop to my trigear.
I want to fit the 1700mm prop, which requires me to slightly increase the ground clearance. I am thinking of doing this by ...

I am looking for some advice on whether I can put an access panel in the bottom of the fuselage of my Tri Gear where the wheel is retracted on the monowheel. I was planning to put my fuel panel (pump ...

Bud,

I just checked and found out that my fuel cap is also 70mm. If possible, please add me to your list for a replacement/spare.

Thanks.

I for one would not use a Facebook or Twitter list system. I do not like either of them! I vote to keep the current system.

I would like to thank those of you who responded to my request for a W&B sheet, it gave me the answers that I was hoping for.

Incidentally I just bought the XAvion App for my IPad. Among many ...

I am hoping to find an example W&B sheet for an XS Trigear. I know that each aircraft is different, but I want to see what the approximate effect of a couple of mods would be, including an auxili ...

The correct address is www.aluminiumracing.com, and I can vouch for the quality of their rads. The one I got from them was beautifully made, and considerably cheaper than the Rotax one.

When I started shopping for an EFIS, I was very tempted by the MGL units. I eventually did not go with them because, although very entrepreneurial, they keep changing the configuration and, worse, le ...

I have glued my Europa side windows into the doors, as per the manual. However I do not see any mention of filling and sealing the joint between the window and the door frame. When I built my Lancai ...

Graham,

Do you mean like this? Photo is of my instrument panel ready for installations. Both sides are hinged, with 2 Camloc fasteners for each side; both are hinged, with one shown closed and th ...

Let me emphasize the importance of using a Temperfoam or Comforfoam seat bottom cushion. Two years ago I flew my Lancair 360 when the engine quit after only 8 hours from new, because the fuel transfe ...

Thanks to all who responded to my original post about Rotax alternators. I think that I will try using just the Rotax generator at first. I was put off by the Rotax statement that the fuel pumps etc ...

I am building a Europa with a Rotax 914 engine. It has become clear to me that my electrical power needs are unlikely to be met from the internal alternator. The alternatives are the Rotax belt driv ...

I am in the process of fitting the cowling to my 914-equipped XS. The number 1 exhaust pipe seems to be touching the cowling, and may even be pushing it forward. I am sure that I am not the first pe ...

I am building an XS which was originally intended to take a 912, but I have changed to a 914. As a result, I am missing the aluminum sheet parts CD6 and CD7 which define the air intake compartment. ...

Thanks. However the Whirlwind story is confusing. Effectively there are now two Whirlwind companies, the original for fixed pitch props and a spin-off for constant speed. I think that Martin at Air ...
