 Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2021 8:26 am Post subject: What did you do with your Europa this week, 12/20 - 12/26 |
 |

Most days at our house begin with a cup of coffee and then to the computer. I check email, weather, Matronics and Facebook for new posts. I also check new posts on VansAirForce.net. On the weekends the VAF moderator starts a thread entitled “What did you do with your RV this weekend?” I find this thread interesting. Often there are flying stories, but also building stories, photos or motivational posts.
I’d like to do the same here on Matronics and I hope Europa owners around the world will join in. Our flying season in Michigan is about to end with snow on the grass runway, but those of you in the southern US, southern Europe and southern hemisphere should be going great guns. Show us what you are doing!
I’ll start a new thread each week.

Sunday was a beautiful afternoon in southern Michigan. Temps were above freezing and the sun was out. A short flight along the Lake Michigan shoreline was the result. The snow from three weeks ago is all gone - green Christmas. Finn enjoyed the flight too!

I sure hope all y’all had a wonderful Christmas!
I’ve spent the last week chasing down a squeak in the aileron rigging. Finally found it this morning. Inside the fuselage, of course. A tufnol bearing seems to be the culprit. Applied a bit of Tri-flow “Superior Lubricant” with PTFE and that seems to have done the trick. No more obnoxious squeak. Now all I have to do is put the airplane back together.
Have a Great Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Blue skies and gentle winds,

Great posting theme idea Jim.
I'm changing all my rubber components at the moment and just completed taking out and refitting the engine to change the engine frame rubbers, and the fuel hoses etc (Gates Barricade SAEJ30R14 - which is a bit hard to find and expensive, here in the UK).
Took the opportunity whilst i'm working in the tunnel to overhaul my Mono UC as well - disassembly, clean and inspect and checking e.g. linkage bushes before lubing them up and reassembling then resetting the 79mm gap.
Fresh oil hoses and re-purging the oil system, then the coolant system refresh, next.

Busy putting some weekly flight time on my Classic these days (an hour at a time lol). Have been troubleshooting my new CYA100 AOA which has a habit of going intermittent, and it's hopefully a connector issue not requiring a full rewire and removal of panel etc. (I had reused the builder's original now removed and replaced inop AOA's fuse/wing-wiring). I love flying in the winter - smooth and great performance. That said, I've spoiled myself with a heated hangar - which I need to justify (propane is crazy expensive these days!) so the more flight hours the better. So far about 70hrs since getting it back into the air in September after a main frame repair for a bent pivot tube which I have now re-enforced with a truss... along with a laundry list of "make it mine" mods/improvements/fixes.
Just added an unedited (read boring) vid to my Youtube channel with the latest AOA recal. Normally my airport does a great job with clearing the pavement, but this flight was on glare ice surfaces.... makes tailwheeling really smooth and easy peasy  but runups not so much lol
Generally I find that if I fly the AOA to the runway I can reliably nail the short full stall landings - luv it. Gives me more confidence than the ASI how much I've got left - leaving me generally too fast. Now if I could ensure it is reliable

Gents…I received a GoPro10 for Christmas and am looking for accessories.
I’m wondering what kind of attachments are trustworthy for positioning the camera out in the slipstream…what about the sticky pads or suction cups?
Has anybody lost their camera in flight?
