Hi Frank, Sorry for the late response - I've been "enjoying" the opportunity of re-plastering the ceiling in the front room and not looked at my mail! It is true that I have developed a sleek new cow
Some of you will know that I've been developing an articulating, full-suspension tail-dragger conversion for the Europa (for the last few millennia it seems). Anyhow, I pulled the first carbon fibre
Hi Paul, Yes, In theory, I can make the gear legs any length I want to give me a sensible ground clearance. This set can let me swing up to a 70" prop if I want (i.e. if the engine will allow) with f
I notice that Demon Tweeks supply a range of fuel filler caps that resemble the earlier Classic style. It is difficult to work out the sizes from the limited details given on their site, but a call t
Tony, The original "classic" kits were sold in three phases, Kit one was tail planes with rudder, fin, flaps and ailerons. Kit two was the blue foam wings and kit three was the fuselage. There are ma
Looks to me like two legs off a cheap Chinese gazebo. If you're intending to fit them you might need a mod approval ;-) built Europa - which I only learned today has Classic Wings and XS body, I came
Tony, I can categorically confirm that this is NOT a Europa part and should not under any circumstances go anywhere near your plane, let alone a primary control. It is not even of aviation quality. Y
Hi Remi, The short answer is "no". Having done all that work to lighten the wheel and disc, I moved on to developing my conventional gear, so this ended up as an "objet d'art". My original intent was
Hey right on Bob ...... "Pimp my Flight" I 'll bet you've got a 200 watt sub woofer in the rear fuz ;-) /FWIW, I have also added a string of LED lights inside the tunnel for work illumination. I high
Richard, I have built polyester canoes and have played around with carbon fibre - so have experience of both systems. It's not clear from your mail whether your boat is constructed out of carbon and
I'm not aware of a mod ever being requested for this. If you are building a mono wheel with a tail spring, then this might not be a great idea as the stern post will carry some of the weight of the a
Hi Tony, My first post wasn't very well worded. The stern post is, as you say, immensely strong and shouldn't give cause for worry. My concern is for the proximity of a large diameter hole so close t
OK, so it's not a Europa, but as near a perfect landing as is possible with only two wheels ..... and he even saved the prop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol4rj5CWSP4#t=10
It is my sad duty to relay the news that Dave Bosomworth's wife Kathy passed away peacefully on Monday evening in the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice at Farnham (UK) with Dave and their two children by her
Bill, The definitive document on all things "Europa Brake Fluid" can be found on the club website at: http://www.theeuropaclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Brake-Fluid-review.pdf Ian Rickard's exce
And the reason for that is probably there in that sentence. The more ethanol in your fuel, the less likely you you will ever see water at the drains. Ethanol readily attaches itself to water meaning
I can see no reason why a composite bracket could not work provided it was well made. I would suggest two "question mark" (?) shaped mouldings back to back to ensure that the laminates are continuous
