Hi Troy, We tried to find piano wire to fit in the Europa supplied housings but were unable to make that work. We purchased piano wire from McMaster but it comes rolled in a 6" diameter coil and we w
We have been quite successful working in the rear of our XS using the access holes specified in CBM and Mono Build Manual Chapt 23. The actual opening is 4 inch diameter. The opening required in the

Hi Jeff, Sorry I omitted the rest of the setup. At the throttle lever, each cable is wrapped around a cable bushing (Lockwood #2711 or 2710; ACS CF2710 - the catalogs are a little confusing - you nee
Hi All, We ran into this and talked to Martin at Airmaster. It turns out that the Honeywell sensor Airmaster uses works with either magnetic polarity, so the magnet you receive from them could be ori
Kevin, There was a note from Andy in a Tech Talk (Issue 41) that addresses where to bring pitot static lines through the side of the fuselage. The preferred location is in front of the seat back near
Rick, It is a misprint. Our older manual calls for AN960-416 washers next to the fiberglass. In the old manual they also call for two AN960-516 washers over the spindle of the valve. That is how ours
Hi Martin, Since pressing ACK for oil pressure makes the light stop flashing, that is what is generating the alarm. The light is staying on because the oil pressure is still out of limits. This is ex
Martin, When you power up EIS, the red light comes on flashing, correct? And when it does, the page showing has Oil Press on it and that value is blinking, correct? And when you push ACK, the light q
I'm having a problem with my comm antenna. It is a common copper tape antenna with toroids over the coax. Materials and plans came from RST Engineering. Installed in the rudder per Europa directions
Craig, We had a similar experience. Fitted our doors beautifully and then put on the seal and could hardly close them. Advice was to get them closed and let the plane sit in the sun so that the fiber
Just a data point on this discussion. Our Europa first flew in Oct 2005. After a ground loop in Sept 2006 the fuel tank has been empty during repair. I filled it this week and have no leaks. Granted,
During the repair of our Europa, I replaced the fuel system tubing and sight gauge tubing which was original. It was getting hard and discolored. I used Tygon F4040 tubing which the data sheet says i
The factory supplied sight gauge tubing is polyurethane. After a couple of years I noted that it was getting quite hard. I searched the Tygon website and discovered "fuel line" tubing, Tygon 4040. I
I seem to have these problems pretty well solved. Initially tried shielded cables (shield grounded to A/C ground point near inst panel - unconnected at other end) with lots of toroids to the ELT and
The factory supplied sight gauge tubing is polyurethane (see Chpt 30). We noticed it was getting hard to read because of yellowing and also very hard and brittle after about 2 years exposure to auto
A couple of responses. In my experiments, I think some fuel leaked out of the ends but some also must have gone through the wall of the tubing. Then ends were plugged with 1/4" rods and a plastic cla
Weve got our Europa back together and flown a little. Had a hard arrival yesterday and noticed today that the M8-100 bolts have threads showing above and below the shock plates. Looks like the LG06 s
Raimo & Carl, Thank you both for your replies! You are right & we are happy :D . We did a retract test and inspected everything and found no problems. Jim & Heather Read this topic online here: http:
Hi Fred, One caution is that, if you are seeing gloss in the micro, it may be too wet (too much epoxy). We found a "formula" so all of our batches were consistent (marked a line on the mixing cup 1 1
