Hi Tim


The way I read the mod the 28 lb limit applied to the 912 and the limit 
for
the 912s was 24lbs.


I am just trying to find the weight of the NSI CAP140 - it is not 
mentioned
in the manual or any of the paperwork that came with the prop.  We may 
end
up having to weigh it.


Regards


Pete

 Hi All,

I have the classic engine installation with the Rotax 912S.

Interesting specs, as my Airmaster Prop weighs in at 26lbs!!! except I 
kept
the glass spinner which weighs 1 lb less than the metal one!

So that is within the specs as the cracks are not there!! Already 
checked it
long ago when the fault was first observed .

Will do it anyway, in time.

My 1 lbs worth.

Cheers,

Tim

All Europas except those with the classic engine installation

(radiators each side of the spinner) with the Rotax 912 or 912S

engine and Warp Drive ground adjustable propeller or other

propeller weighing less than 25lb (912S engine) or 28lb (912

engine) and no cracks found in the landing gear frame, or those

with landing gear frames supplied by Europa after January 2007.


Straight from the Mod leaflet.


regards,


MP

If its a mandatory mod, why havent Europa written to us and why havent 
we
been sent the requisite parts. BTW are we talking about monos or 
trigears or
both???


We had enough of this aggro when we were building the aircraft - about 
60 or
so mods from memory (yes, we were one of the early ones (no49!!!).


Now not so happy G-LABS.

Just checked on Europa's website and discovered yet another mandatory 
mod.

This is Mod No. 72 and involves nearly all aircraft and involves a check 
of
the landing frame for cracks before next flight and then fitting sleeves 
to
the frame before next permit renewal or 25 hours. This operation needs 
the
engine to be removed.
