Though you might be interested to know that I had a stuck throttle at approx
70% power and ended up having to do an engine off landing!!
Not a nice problem to have but the Europa behaved flawlessly as usual even
in the glide with no power.
Its a long story and I have put a write up on my website
www.ukmicrolights.com
I have let NSI and the PFA know. I don't believe there is a problem and
stick my hand up to not previously detecting this misplaced bracket would
end up causing such a problem! There's a photo and explanation on the web
page if your interested. I see no reason to panic but hopefully a
precautionary note to draw attention to correct fitting would probably be a
good outcome.
I have learnt something just like we all do in our home build community and
on a positive note was glad of the support I received from ATZ D&D etc as
well as now having even more confidence in my Europa and ability to land it
without an engine.
Thanks
Kevin
