7.1 IntroductionThis section provides description and operation of the aircraft and its systems. Refer to section 9, Supplements, for details of optional systems and equipment. 7.2 AirframeThe EV-97 „EUROSTAR“ model 2003 airframe is of semimonocoque construction, formed with metal reinforcements, bulkheads and a duralumin cover. |
||||
7.2.1 FuselageThe fuselage has a semimonocoque construction formed with reinforcements and duralumin covers. The fuselage cross-section is rectangular in the lower section and elliptical in the upper one. The tail fin is an integral part of the fuselage. In the middle section of the fuselage there is a two-man cockpit which is accessible by unfolding the one-part perspex overlap canopy. The engine section in the nose is separated from the crew by a firewall to which the engine bed is attached.
7.2.2 WingThe rectangular wing is a monospar construction with an auxiliary spar for the ailerons and flaps attachments. All the elements are riveted together. At the ends of the wings fibre glass wing tips are riveted. The wing can be equipped with a folding mechanism for a convenient storing in the hangar.
7.2.3 Horizontal tail unit (HTU)The rectangular HTU consists of a stabiliser and elevator with a trim tab. The semimonocoque construction of the HTU consists of duralumin ribs, spar and cover. The width of 2.5 m ( 8.2 ft ) enables transport on a sidecar without dismantling.
7.2.4 Vertical tail unit (VTU)The trapezoidal fin section of the VTU is mounted to the rear section of the fuselage. The rudder is attached on the fin by two hinges. The frame of the VTU is composed of a metal sheet spar and a duralumin cover |

7.4 Instrument panelThe aeroplane EV-97 „EUROSTAR“ model 2003, S/N is equipped with the following instrument panel:
|
||||
7.5 Landing gear
The nose wheel steering system is connected to the rudder control. The wheels may be equipped with aerodynamic, fiberglass covers.
7.6 Seats and safety harness
7.7 Baggage compartmentThe baggage compartment is located behind the seats. Maximum baggage weight is stated on the placard located near the baggage compartment |
||||
7.8 CanopyThe semi drop-shaped canopy consists of a steel frame on which is bolted the organic glass canopy. The canopy is attached to the nose section of the fuselage by two pins which make it possible for the canopy to be tilted forward. For easier manipulation, the weight of the canopy is counterbalanced by two gas struts which allow it to open effortlessly. On the lower frame there are handles outside the canopy. The canopy is equipped with a lock in the rear upper section of the frame.

||||
7.9 PowerplantThe standard powerplant of the EV-97 „EUROSTAR“ model 2003 is the ROTAX 912 S (100hp). The ROTAX 912 ULS (100 hp) may be installed as option. Rotax 912 is 4-stroke, 4 cylinder horizontally opposed, spark ignition engine with one central camshaft-push-rod-OHV. Liquid cooled cylinder heads, ram air cooled cylinders. (For coolant - see Rotax Operator's Manual ) Dry sump forced lubrication. (For oil type - see Rotax Operator's Manual ) Dual breakerless capacitor discharge ignition. The engine is fitted with an electric starter, AC generator and mechanical fuel pump. Prop drive via reduction gear with integrated shock absorber. The three blade, fixed, propeller V 230C is installed as standard on the ROTAX 912 S resp. UL engine. The Woodcomp Klassic 160/3/R propeller
can be installed as an option. |
||||
7.10 Fuel systemThe fuel system consists of a 65 litre ( 17.2 USgals ) tank, a fuel cock, a filter and a fuel pump on the engine. The tank is positioned in the separate space behind the seats, has a drain pocket and a drain valve. The outlet is situated below the fuselage. Fuel quantity is indicated by a fuel-sight gauge or by an electric float fuel gauge. The electric fuel gauge indicates the relative quantity of fuel in the tank (corresponding quantity in litres is shown in the table 6.2 and on placard “LOAD LIMITS” in the cockpit).
7.11 Electrical systemThe electric system is single-wire
type with the negative connected to the chassis.
The engine dual ignition is a separate part of the electric system. Each ignition circuit is operated by an individual switch. |
||||
7.12 Pitot and static pressure systemsThe Pitot static head serving to read dynamic and static air pressure is located under the left half of the wing. Pressure distribution to individual instruments is done through flexible plastic hoses. Keep the system clear to assure its right function. Both the dynamic and static hose systems are equipped with dirt pockets. The dirt pockets are located inside the cockpit just before the pilot´s seat. In the case where water is inside the system, unscrew the covers from the dirt pockets and blow into the Pitotstatic head. Then screw the covers back and check the sealings.

The
plane has fixed landing gear with a controllable nose
wheel. The main landing gear legs are composed of a
composite spring. The wheels on both landing gear legs
are equipped with 14 x 4 tyres with hydraulic disc brakes
that are controlled by foot pedals on the main rudder
pedals. The nose landing gear leg is welded from steel
tubes and its suspension is made from rubber rope. 
The
plane has two side-by-side seats which are fixed, unadjustable
and thinly upholstered. Each seat is equipped with three
(or four) point safety belts attached to the centre
of bulkhead behind the baggage compartment and alongside
the seats.
