Hoffmann) Hi, some time ago somebody published a method which can be used to calibrate the ASI. The method required to fly a triangle in order to eliminate the effects of wind. Dumb me, I didn't copy the method at the time, and now I'm unable to find it. Could sombody point me to the messages? Thanks in advance!

I just wanted to apologise for not saying goodbye - I was so focussed on getting away once I'd got the fuselage loaded, I completely forgot my manners. ... ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:08:22 PM PST US From: "Kevin Taylor" Subject: Europa-List: Today's flying --> Europa-List message posted by: "Kevin Taylor" What a great days flying today. Went to Kemble what a great place that is and even better this time with the new restaurant, Its had unbelievable investment. There was also a impromptu but pre arranged low pass from a B52! not to mention a quick and a JP as well as just about every other GA aircraft. Down side had to queue for 20 mins to depart but who cares. II always remember a airfield owner telling me that aviation was dead and there was no point in operating a airfield. I realised today what a great venue this is going to be for the PFA weekend.

As a guest of several Europa builders in the English West Country, I was treated to a visit to this large ex-WW II base now being used by various groups, and enjoying a casual lunch under the tower. It is a wonderful spot and doubtless deserves to be the future venu for coming events such as the PFA fly-in. What American cousins may not appreciate (in spite of the number of Mum'nPop fields so well spread throughout the States) is that as a fan of WW II events, I have counted up over 820 airfield and water sites used 1939-1945 in the space slightly less in size than Hudson's Bay. Many of them are gone to other uses of course. Thanks Kevin!

You should be able to find the messages on Andrew Sarangan's archive (see the Europa Club website for a pointer to it). There are three Excel spreadsheets for doing ASI calibrations with GPS, all with slightly different approaches, among the goodies in the "calculations" folder on the Europa Club CD-ROM which is issued free to all new members ..... regards Rowland | Rowland Carson Europa Club Membership Secretary | Europa 435 G-ROWI (490 hours building) PFA #16532 EAA #168386 | e-mail website ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 04:45:49 PM PST US From: Tim Ward Subject: Europa-List: Leather Control Column Boots --> Europa-List message posted by: Tim Ward Europa Builders, Anybody requiring Leather Control Column boots?

Whenever I transmit my tacho goes off the scale - obviously an RF issue - it goes back again when I stop transmitting. I thought about replacing the wires to the tacho with shielded wires but thought why not simply wrap aluminum foil/tape around them. I probably wouldn't earth the tape. Do you think this would do anything to help?

I have also clamped my flap in place with the template on the wing root. While the flap fits and lines up well with the template and aileron, the aileron seems too thin and short at the wing tip. Measured at the corner of the closeout and wingtip, the aileron is 9 mm lower with the bottom of the aileron is flush. And the trailing edge of the aileron is also 12 mm shorter along the chord than the wingtip. Is this normal? Do I have to fill in this area? If so, that's a lot of filler! Or am I missing something? I am also aware of another builder at this same point that has the same problem. Is it a problem? I would appreciate some advice from those that have gone before me.
