PostForum: Europa-List   Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2024 4:24 am   Subject: Microbial growth in fuel tank
A friend has found evidence of microbial growth in a wing fuel tank, and he's asked me for advice. Unfortunately I can't think of anything other than removing and flushing the tank, possibly also usin ...

I use a smallish net which came with my Skoda car i.e. a VW made in the Czech Republic, with four hooks, one at each corner. The anchor points for each hook are medium / small cable tie wraps.

Just a word of caution to anyone new to the Europa tri-gear and changing a wheel or repairing a tire for the first time. When jacking up on the piece of metal rod or breaker bar which you've inserted ...

How do you jack up a tri-gear to make a main wheel tyre repair or replacement? What kind of adapter / bracket do you take with you when flying away from home base, to facilitate the use of a trolley j ...

My Neville Eyre cowl hatch hinges have the hinge knuckle upwards. The hinges are the same as used for ailerons and anti servo tabs, so if the hinge flaps are tucked under the cowl, then the knuckles a ...

Cover checked in an engineering workshop and found to be flat i.e. not distorted. Head contact surface for O-ring not scratched or cracked. It would be difficult to distort the head, I think, without ...

Neither the Rotax factory supplied O-rings (via a UK agent) nor the after market items which are supposedly slightly thicker have stopped the very slight leak.

I'm given to understand by someone who has a very slightly leaking valve cover that he's tried after-market O-rings, which didn't seem to make much improvement. He even tried Hylomar Blue around the o ...

Yep, that's exactly how it broke and no doubt the same will happen again and again. The material thickness is too light. The LAA seems to have washed their hands of producing the items and handed it o ...

Sorry, but I know little to nothing about 3D printing, except that something looking like fishing line feeds the machine. Yes they're made of plastic.

Please would someone let me know, or send me the STL files, which would enable the 3D printing of a shoot-bolt stop. Mine has inevitably become damaged by the extended shoot-bolt, when a gust of wind ...
