Also exceedingly handy for the rebates in the TP cores, etc. But since all of these are light-duty jobs, before you go out and buy a whole router, you can pick up the router attachment for your trust
I've been reading the various methods people are using to cover the pip pin holes in the stabs. I'm awed at some builders' ingenuity and industriousness--Tony's plumbing fittings are particularly nif
Salut-- Malgre' que je suis amerlocque, je vais tenter de repondre en francais (sans accents sur cet ordinateur americain). Si il s'agit seulement de quelques litres de cromate de zinc, il ne vaut pr
A couple of thoughts 1.) Standard practice in most audio applications is to ground shielding at _one end only_ to prevent formation of so-called "ground loops." Ideally, all the shielding should be g
Eigentlich beschaeftigt sich diese Gruppe eher mit Bau und Betrieb der "Europa," ein 2-sitziges Sportflugzeug in Eigenbauweise. Der Rotaxmotor, den wir mit Dir gemeinsam haben, ist wahrscheinlich ein
Dear John-- Having been down there a few years ago to pick up a Marchetti (actually from out in the Wairarapa) and ferry it back to the States, I know what you mean about the wind! Re pitot-static fi
I'm seriously interested in variable flaps, not so much for landing as due to the fact that at an airfield elevation of 9100 ft. MSL I'll need all the help I can get on takeoff, even with a 914 and m
Thanks for the info re Walter--as I speak German I'd like to get in touch with him. My experience w/ UK electrics is based largely on having owned a Dagenham Dustbin (aka Cord Fartina) back in the '6
Hi, Tony-- First of all, let me complement you on your Website--it's fabulous, and I've immensely enjoyed the saga of your Europa. If I ever get to NZ again I'd love to see it in the flesh. (Last tim
So far as I know, it hasn't flown yet, although by now it may have on a couple of applications (both, again so far as I know, the two-row 8-cyl 300 hp version). One, which may have been shelved, was
Of course the leads are open circuit when the engine's running--but if they can work as receiving antennas to shut the engine down via stray RF --From a high-powered transmitter, they can work just a
Some of the bits are specifically intended for later use--generally you can see where they're going to go. Thus far, at least for me, the instruction manual has been pretty good about when to keep th
Thanks, Andy-- I'd actually envisioned something a bit simpler--perhaps a big "hairpin" spring arrangement built into the outrigger system to allow the outriggers to go down and lock at about half fl
I'm hardly a nationalist, but I think one of the few areas in which the USA is markedly superior to most other countries is the way the FAA treats homebuilders. That being said, and not knowing your
Not to forget the immortal TANSTAAFL-- There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (originally popularized, if not actually coined, by Robert A. Heinlein)
...or at least a US "resident alien" green card. Or, you might consider an American "strawman" (or woman) to be the registered owner of record. A lot of European operators of "real" airplanes set up
Boy, if you can still find a 912 for $8500, snap it up--if you decide against the Europa, you can probably sell it to one of us! To put it very simply, for a really nice Europa, you probably won't ha
