Hi Bob and David,

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately it is not that simple. I do have the Europa Club noise certificate but that is not accepted by the Dutch authorities. The only thing which is ...

Hi all,

In order to renew a special airworthness certificate (permit to fly) I need a copy of EASA noise certificate of a Europa XS trigear with Rotax 914 fitted with a groud adjustable Warp drive ...

I agree with Frans that smart phones and tablet, using their internal sensors, are a nogo for flying in IMC circumstances. However I disagree that the technology of solid state gyro's is by definition ...

Fred,

I have an Odyssey 545 mounted on the rightside footwell. The 545 is a little smaller than the 680, has somewhat less cranking power and saves about 1.3 kg over a 680. Although its smaller ca ...

For what it is worth. I experienced 2 times a similar problem with my Rotax 912s. About 4 years ago for the first time and it was figured out that 1 of the wires of 1 of the ignition boxes was broken ...

Well, may be you can share it with someone else. Anyway the alternative is attractive too, become very old and stay fit and keep on flying.

Hi Karl,

It can be ordered from www.microtools.com/shop. They sell 2oz tubes for about 23 buck. I ordered it last year from Micro Tool Europe and I am very happy with it.

Hi Frans and others,

Maybe a little late but herewith what I experienced with Evans in my trigear XS with 912S and a regular setup. I flew my plane with Evans and was happy with the cooling perform ...

Hi Bud,

Thanks for your input. I have been thinking about this solution too. A straight socket however will interfere with the engine-mount. A 45 degree one will probably do the job. But because ev ...

Hi Ivor,

Thanks for your reply. I have just mounted a shielded silicon hose so that is done. But I just don't like a hose pressing on the silencer so I want to create at least some clearence. At th ...

Hi all,

This is about a Europa XS with the 912S and the oval exhaust silencer.
2 years ago I had a burned coolant hose (to cylinder 2) because the hose runs too close over the exhaust. This was a ...

Hi Max,

My plane has no tie-down points either. I now use small clamps which are mounted between the ailerons and the wingtips. But I am not very happy with this solution because this part of the w ...

Hi Ivor,

Thanks for your information. I will go shopping for 767A and I will let you know about my experiences with it.

I had occasionally the same or similar problem and in my case it was definitely shimmiing. The only situation this happened was when I tried to keep the nose wheel off the ground as log as possible af ...

Hi all,

I haven flown my Europa with the Woodcomp SR 3000 (with reverse option which is not wired) in many conditions, several times in heavy rain too. Up to now I have not met any problems (prop h ...

Thanks Dave for your input. I will give it another try. It sounds if you did not needed a lot of force to make it move. Is that correct ? Kees de Bussy PH-SBR

In my case the flap drive pins engagement comply with the service bulletin on that matter but at the portside it is at the limit. So I decide the bring it well within the limits and I purchased the sp ...

I have used Jaxida covers during last winter. Since February I have hangar space. Just before I got the hangar space the first bubbles appeared. In the hangar they almost disappeared, but now they are ...
