As I recall from the MGL FF1 I fitted to my escapade, reducing the K factor increases the measured flow, and vice versa. Do be aware that the standard supplied 2mm restrictor in the flow meter preven
I also just fitted a pair of Trigs to my Europa; I bought them from AirworldUK, and they supplied pre-wired harnesses FOC. They were very nicely made and properly screened where required, all in tefz
Hi all, I'm new to the Europa, and trying to get to grips with what constitutes an acceptable runway length, having come to the conclusion that the quoted 600' is somewhat optimistic! (although perha

My Europa (XS wings, Trigear) has a roll to the right which could do with trimming out; my previous aircraft have been rag and tube, and I have simply added an aluminium trim tab to aileron/rudder, a

Hi all, My Europa (Classic tri gear with XS wings and FWF) has no obvious tie down points. POH indicates that the undercarriage should be used, but with the speed kit I can see challenges there. What
Cheers all, I have a tie-down point below the fin, presumably attached to the tailwheel hard-point. I guess it's best to be tail-into-wind with the rudder gust-locked, stick held forwards (or tailpla
