Description |
|
|
Modification to engine bay fuel lines |
|
|
Installation of water drain valves - drains both sides of fuel tank, includes all necessary hoses and connections. |
|
# Installation
of cold air inlet plenum chamber. Kit includes NACA duct splash moulding, plenum chamber,
air filter, and connecting hardware. For Classic engine installation |
|
|
# Conversion of tailwheel from the original
Classic Europa style to the current monowheel tailwheel. This modification greatly
improves ground handling. (Includes epoxy resin) |
|
|
# As Mod 43 but excludes epoxy resin. |
|
|
# Extended baggage bay modification. This
modification enables Classic Europa fuselages to be converted to incorporate the XS
style baggage bay. |
|
|
# This modification adds a second fuel
filter so that if the main tank filter becomes blocked, switching to the reserve tank
will also switch to a separate filter. |
|
|
# This modification enables Europas with
Classic foam wings to be fitted with the XS style underwing pitot/static system. This
system gives more accurate airspeed information than the original system with fuselage
mounted static ports. |
|
|
This modification prevents wear in the
fasteners connecting the landing gear retraction lever to the landing gear mechanism. |
|
|
# This
modification enables Classic Europas to have the maximum gross weight increased
from 1300 lb. to 1370 lb. |
|
|
Long
Range fuel tank. This modification increases the effective size of the fuel
tank by the addition of a subsidiary tank which feeds into the main tank. It
provides an extra 35 litres of fuel. Total weight with full fuel 30kg (66 lb). |
|
|
# Cranked
control column. The kit includes sleeves to adapt the 1 ¼” bore
control column bottom fitting to the 1” diameter cranked columns |
|
|
Monowheel speed
kit. This kit provides a possible 9kt increase in speed. It includes flap hinge,
outrigger mechanism and wheel, and tailwheel fairings. Total weight is approx. 1.3kg
(3lb). |
|
|
Tri-gear speed
kit. Tri-gear aircraft should see a 10kt speed increase with all fairings added.
The kit includes wheel, flap hinge, and leg fairings. Total weight approx 4.1kg (9lb). |
|
|
#Nose gear leg to housing reinforcement |
|
#Anti-servo trim tab drive plate reinforcement |
|
# Nose gear shimmy
damper. This modification prevents grease from getting on to the friction disc, and
improves the anti-shimmy adjustment. |
|
|
Fuel contents
gauge. This modification introduces a float type fuel gauge, calibrated to the Europa
fuel tank. It indicates 8 equal increments of the ‘main’ tank. Incorporation
of this modification can be carried out at any stage, but is easier if completed
before fitting the tank to the cockpit module. The kit includes sender, gauge, pre-assembled
wiring harness, and all fasteners. |
|
| Mod 61A - Oct 2006 |
Stall warner.
This modification can be fitted to new build kits, or can be retrofitted. The kit
contains a light alloy sensor probe, pneumatic lines, quick release connectors, vacuum
switch, an 88db piezo electric horn, and pre-assembled wiring harness. Sounding of
the horn is triggered by reduced pressure at the wing leading edge at high angles
of attack. (new build, wings not yet closed) |
|
|
As above, but
retrofit - (please state XS or Classic wing) |
|
|
# Replacement of
tailplane torque tube drive pins. This modification introduces 3/8” diameter
pins in place of the existing ¼” pins; the bearing stress is reduced
by 1/3rd, which will tolerate ground loads better than before. |
|
|
Instrument panel
fascias. Designed to enable quick and easy access to the back of the instrument panels,
a combination of panel fascias can be chosen to suit monowheel or tri-gear aircraft,
with either VDO or Flydat instrumentation. The right hand panel may be divided into
two separate areas, the upper for avionics, and the lower for pitch trim, propeller
and flap controls, avionics master switch and square type circuit breakers. Fasteners
are available at extra cost. Flight instrument cut-outs are based on typical instruments,
but variations may exist. Instruments can be supplied on request. A limited selection
of circuit breakers, switches and lamps are also available on page 10 - see also
placards on page 11. |

Hi-top fuselage. This Mod increases
the available headroom by 50mm (2”). It must be incorporated when the top and bottom fuselage sections are joined. The original Mod used a deeper firewall in the fuselage bottom half, the standard windscreen, and a modified engine top cowl. This Mod had to be specified with initial fuselage build. The instructions now include Mod 64B, which utilises a windscreen which is deeper than the standard, and which enables the standard bottom half fuselage and standard engine top cowling to be used. |
|
|
# Finger
brake system. This Mod applies to the Tri-gear, and provides all the items required
to convert the brakes to hand or ‘finger’ operated main wheel brakes.
The kit includes a hydraulic parking valve. |
|
|
# Gas
strut repositioning. This Mod moves the gas strut anchor point on the door, reducing
the stress on it |
|
|
# Cockpit
width increase - This Mod increases the effective internal width of the cockpit,
at shoulder height, by 30mm (1.2”). |
|
|
Also
available without Ampreg |
|
|
Electric
flap drive for conventional taildragger Europas. |
|
|
Wing
Tie down - This Mod (applicable only to XS wings which have not yet been closed)
incorporates eyebolt mountings to the wings. |
|
|
|
|
|
# Trigear - replacement of nose gear bungee by springs |
|
#MANDATORY. Undercarriage mounting frame strengthening - the bulletin includes a mandatory inspection for all Europas delivered before end 2006, and a modification for some Europas depending on engine, engine mounting, and propeller. |
|
#MANDATORY. Tailplane retention - applicable to all Europas. |
|
MANDATORY. Rear wing pin attachment - applicable to all classic Europas with foam filled wings |
|
A
complete set of components to convert a monowheel aircraft to a tri-gear version.
The empty weight of the aircraft will be increased by approx. 16Kg (35lb). Supplied with toe brakes. |
|
| As above, but supplied with finger brakes. |
