Sounds great. But why have the speeds changed? Changing from 80 to 100 hp should not affect any speeds. Please explain.

Hello,
I am completing the long-running installation of the Dynon autopilot in my trigear. The AP74, HS34, cabling have been installed for some years. My head unit is a D10a. I delayed permanently ...

I have had a fair bit of contact with Dirk, he did once warn me against trying old er spec controllers with newer prop actuation motors. But the software update should never fry the board on an AC200 ...

Beautiful hangar. Nice finish on the aircraft. Good luck with that engine.

Yes, l had some correspondence with them. Their design predates the Elite. Their CEO explained the design philosophy, prototyping challenges and how far they have progressed towards National type ap ...

After David Stanbridge confirmed the factory would not be supporting the taildragger (TD) conversion we instigated our own version of the main gear legs. I approached Harmon Lange about 18-24 months ...

Has anyone in the UK got a support frame or trestle customised to hold a Europa fuselage during build? A rotating version would be ideal. Most l have seen are a wheeled plywood frame configuration.

As per my original posts on this subject, the Mod is reactive rather than constructive. A properly run company would have taken this in house and worked with the LAA and AAIB to create a solution pro ...

One aspect that new builders could forget it to enable the seat cushion to pivot up against the backrest for entry and exit.

Andy Draper or Ivan should be able to recall the exact FT schedule, but l believe that the FT test pilot did up to 12 rotations in all configurations.

There was also a comprehensive AGATE led tri ...

I had 2 almost pristine blades but cut them up as the blades are sold as matched sets. You should not replace part of the blade system.

Thanks Tim, very useful.

Following on from my last post I reacquainted myself with the build manual sections 34 and 35.

The part DL07 is the guide mounted in the door, this gives the shoot bolt an axis to follow - hence it ...

The AAIB report is up to their usual high standard. However, the trend l can see being analysed is insufficient (or ineffective) aircraft type training and nothing to do with the nominal design of th ...

I think simple CFD is great but think it unwise to distribute snap shot s as they can be taken out of context. The Europa fuse and canopy Are classic in form and will generate a range of differentia ...

I have a 912ULS cowling (XS version) NACA duct mould tool if anyone wishes to use it. UK based.

Also a complete set of untouched cowlings (XS), with intake moulding tool.

Brian,
I am having a conversation with you. I have no reason to call Andy D at this time. As I said before, there is no such thing as too much safety.
Thanks also for the definition of a mandator ...

Brian,

I disagree, an MPD is only issued when there is a serious concern over safety. To issue the MPD with a very brief (5 flying hours) incorporation requirement confirms there is a major issue ...

SLA and FDM methods are probably both suitable for the door stop. I looked but could not find any reference to the material or process used by the LAA on the parts they are selling. I think that is ...
