Guys, Before blaming the carb heater for the fuel smell, why not be 100 % sure before adding mods. Just disable the coolant flow by putting a clamp on one hose for one or two test flights, and get th
Michael, I have never seen the curved design. I bought the two-bladed SR3000/2W which is a different shape again: quite wide at the root with a lot of twist. It was designed for the 100-115 hp range.
I have seen a licenced aircraft engineer do same on my aircraft. It makes sense to me, but I guess someone could provide the mathematics. My Woodcomp nuts are 1/2 inch, and the torque wrench can also
If there is anyone out there with a SR3000 with feathering option and a 9xx: exactly where did you connect the two magneto sensor wires ? I connected mine to the L and R positions of the ACS keyed ig
Yes, Duncan and Ian, there is an idea I had for a long time but haven't had a chance to try it out. It is extremely simple but would only be of interest to those of you who have that ducting shroud o
I did just that recently in order to shift the cg because of the new cs prop, which is adding 4.2kg to the front end. It is an Odyssey 680, with #6 gaugewiring, although #4 is recommended. Starting i

Many thanks, Richard. It sounds easy enough to do. I am seeing the Rotax agent next week anyway, and he can show me what to do. I don't see any reference to this in the maintenance manual, though. Be
Jeff, I dealt directly with Matco and ordered a fully assembled set. Then you can send in your old set and they will reline them for you. That way you always have a spare brake set. Their prices are
Alan, If you are only in Florida for the winters why do you want to keep the Europa there for the whole year ? You can fly it on the G registration, and take it back home in the spring. Car ferries o
Alan, There is an article in issue 26 of the Europa Aircraft News (4 1/2 pages) by James McDairmid, who took his G-BWRO to the States and flew it there for a year. There is no indication of any restr
Why has the Europa such a huge duct and all those other openings ? I see pictures of many other 9xx powered aircraft with just one or two small openings (i.e. CT). What I would like is a variable ope
I heard that there was a case here in Canada where a Lancair was written off after an emergency landing without his Ivoprop. Karl _________________________________________________________________ Win

Hi John, I would be happy to exchange my original locking cap for a non-locking one, if you are interested. Only, I have to tell you that the lock lets in rain water. Regards, Karl __________________
-- My sentiments entirely. I always assumed that the original designers knew what they were doing, but we are being informed at regular intervals about one failure after another of major components.
Hi Scott, This sounds extremely upsetting and it is the first time that I have heard of such a problem. It is very unlikely to be a manufacturing problem, but one of incorrect long-term storage. Some
Svein, It's in the manual, I believe 20 pounds. I found the best method is by trial and error. For testing, I pulled the aircraft by the prop in a slalom line, and it should follow easily. Then a ful
Hi Bob, When I learned about your nosewheel catastrophy last year I changed the rollpin to an AN4 bolt, and I am amazed that no mandatory mod has been issued. In regards to shimmy, I found it very ea
