Did what is supposed to be done with a europa; got in it and flew the thing... flew it three days out of seven and enjoyed every minute of the near perfect conditions this week for a fly up and down the coast and around the caldera.
Also was fortunate enough to get a ride in another well built europa that turned up while drinking a cup of tea, and enjoyed that too!
What's next??? .... Fly it again!!!
Such joy...

Finally finished up the turbo waste gate servo cable replacement project. I say project because, while it seem like a straight forward job, the location of the servo on the tunnel behind the instrument panel makes it a real joy. I really can’t complain too much as the cable was in service for 20 years.

Took Erich’s lead and replaced my heavy gearbox wearing warpdrive on my 912S with the E-prop glorieus 8lb all carbon hydraulic (engine oil) constant speed prop.
Manno! What a different aircraft it is now. Takes off and climbs with all 90hp now like crazy, and is able to do 145nkots at max continuous (7gal/hr) down low. Previous relaxing cruise settings give about a 5kn increase for the same fuel flow too. And the new gearbox internals appreciate the effortless instant start and stop without the previous typical rotax dog-clank. Much smoother as well. Terrific performance and ~1lb lighter than the warpdrive and classic spinner.
Minor nits: controller display goes blank intermittently, and the blades have more play in the hub than i’d like (Erich reports no play on his, factory says its normal). Factory is quite supportive tho.
Best transformative investment to-date.
Cheers,
PeteZ

I think you have your headset on backwards - the ear cups tilt back at the top; they are marked L & R...

After a bit of fluffing around turning a $19.95 pair of crimping pliers into a $700 pair the week has ended with the AV-30 beaming forth its presence from the instrument panel upon the eve of the mighty festival of light! It was a journey with a few mutterings of demonic praise against the included antiquated Milspec RS232 connector solution (can we please get rid of this shit standard of solution, it is 2022 already!!)...
Calibrated and ready for flight testing!!
