Is there anyone out there that has a new or low time 914 they want to sell?  Maybe someone who has started a kit and is not going to finish and needs to get out...?  I am looking and have cash for a quick sale.  Email off list at darinh(at)aquaeng.com if you have one or now of someone selling.



Thanks,



Darin

Gents,



http://cgi.ebay.com/rotax-912-914-experimental-aircraft-UAV-engine_W0QQitemZ220160581113QQihZ012QQcategoryZ88433QQcmdZViewItem



is probably an X-Predator engine.  Starting bid is $17,000 and it is claimed 140 HP and overhauled.  A week left on the auction.



Anyone want to try one?  I'm sure that there are plenty of folks out there who'd like to see how one works out.



Also, there's another interesting group of engines built up from government surplus Rotax engines



http://www.experimentalfuelinjection.com/



Costs range from $12,000 to $17,000 (US$).



Has anyone out there tried one of them?



Good building and great flying,

Bob Borger

All,



I have looked into the Fuel-injected 914's done by Experimentalfuelinjection.com and they look to be very well engineered (they are engines out of the predators) but I don't really want to be the test bed.  However, it is nearly impossible to get a new 914 within a reasonable amount of time (most guys won't even quote a lead time and others say at least 6 months).



Somebody has got to have one they want to get rid of...?



Bob,



I sent you an email requesting information on your alternator setup on your Europa.  From the images I saw, it looks like you found a gear or spline driven alternator that mounts to the back of the gearbox.  Can you provide me with a link or contact information of the person or company I could get one of these from?  It would be greatly appreciated.

Darin,



Arrrgggghhhh!!  Sorry about not replying your e-mail.  Life has been imposing itself hard the last couple weeks.  Notice, there has been no work posted on my build site recently.



The generator on my Europa was purchased from Bob and Russell at Flight Crafters.   http://www.flightcrafters.com/



The generator mounts on on the back of the gearbox.  There is a gear on the generator that connects with an accessory gear on the back of the prop drive gear.  Go to my build web site http://www.europaowners.org/ and thence on to the Lockwood School album.  In the Lockwood School album, go to the 2nd page.  Down almost half way, there are pics of the gearbox being removed.  On pic DSCN5164 you can see the gear that the generator engages.  On my main page, there is a small album of the generator showing all the bits received and the gear on the front.  There is also more information on where the alternator was obtained.  From my recollection, the gear on the generator has 12 teeth.  The accessory gear has around 28 teeth.  That runs the alternator at 2.3 X the prop speed.  So the alternator should run around the same speed as the engine.  I believe that the alternator is rated at 60 amps, but have been warned not to plan on more than 40 amps.  Once things are running, I'll post the actual output.



I hope this helps.



GOod building and great flying,

Bob Borger.

Plexi to be installed and some final body fill/smooth work to do before the aircraft goes to the airport where I have room to do the wings-on work.
