I have very little experience, being a low-time pilot, but I believe that the Katana is the closest to the Europa in airborne handling. In fact with the long wings, it was startling how it felt like
Ron, Sorry, but I have no suggestions for US coverage except to check with the EAA. I was forced to pay $800/yr Cdn for my bits and pieces through the COPA (the Canadian AOPA) sponsored insurance pla
I'm also quite interested in the GrandRapids EFIS - but I've got lots of time before I commit to a vendor. You'd need two sensors and subtract if the Grand Rapids system can not accommodate. I believ
Ferg, Are these sensors outputting a digital stream, or an analogue voltage? I'm curious how the subtraction could be easily implemented. Cheers & thanks, Pete Paul, For return line fuel, you need tw

Terrific! Thanks! But...... minor software bug? Once the search is executed, the top frame for selecting new search criteria no longer lists "Europa" as an archive name in the drop-down.... it goes f
Now that's service! Thanks Matt. You do provide a really slick and solid service to the homebuilder community. Cheers & thanks, Pete A239 Whoops! Fixed! Actually, it would have searched the right arc
While browsing the RAH newsgroup, I saw an interesting posting of a roll-trim concept being used on canard. Designed by Mr. Wright and Mr. Hanka, it utilizes a composite spring in the shape of a circ
How about that _Europa_ wing jig for Paul? Ed? Jim? ;-) Cheers, Pete True enough about the vandalism and irresponsible closure of Meigs Field. I agree with you. But I would suggest you get the facts
Clamping them together sounds like a neat idea - but a question from the 'newbie': Can the spars support the weight of the wing with the leading-edge down/up without any damage/problems? If it's acce
I'm referring to supporting the entire wing with the spar "on it's flat side" - 90 deg to the normal operating orientation (as the wing was rotated around for painting). At only 1" thick or so, I was
And one more for the list: (i) That dreaded winter Road-salt (for those who live in northern climbs) Because of the salt, open is just not an option for me. Cheers, Pete A239 wing out....... For thos

Hmmm... I wonder if someone makes a matt-black foam-backed light-weight fabric? That would be my pick for gluing onto the top surface. Cheers & thanks, Pete A239 I painted the top of my instrument pa

Hi Dave, Is it possible to set the damping high enough to make is usable as a normal VSI? How's the flying going? When do we get to see more pics on your website :-) Cheers, Pete A239 --Original Mess

I plan also on putting a metal braid down the filler opening into the tank and connecting to Graham's aluminum tank outlet fitting. I plan on Alum pipe runs which will ultimately be grounded to the e
Good point.... I didn't think it through correctly. Maybe I can blame it on a lack of a morning coffee. At least the filler cap ring (is it metal on the optional metal filler cap?) would be connected
