LOL .... yip, "Dennis Vories, P.E" sure does.... but he won't tell
anyone. :-)
---From his article at:
http://www.europa-usa.com/enhancements.htm
To quote:
"Items marked with " ** " are my proprietary designs and require
additional documentation including drawings, parts lists, sources of
supply, instructions, etc. Such items may be adopted by Europa Aircraft
as a part of the kit or alternatively may be made available to builders
as a second source detailed documentation and product.
2. **Outrigger and tail wheels have been changed to gray compound
sealed ball bearing wheels of the same size as original wheels. This
has eliminated excessive bearing wear from contamination, need for
repack and slinging of grease. Also gone is the annoying outrigger
resonance in wing and tail wheel echo in fuselage during taxi. The
elimination of wheel rattle heard by observers during taxi greatly
improves the perception of a quality aircraft."

Subject: Europa-List: Outrigger wheels
Does anyone have a recommendation for outrigger wheels, something a
little higher quality than those included in the kit?
