    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Ami McFadyean" <ami@mcfadyean.freeserve.co.uk> The shroud is mandatory in the UK on the "s". I would have thought that its impact would be on cylinder wall temperature rather than cyl. head. I have one installed but still see upto174 C on cyl. wall temp (max allowable is 190 C). I'm about to experiment with some deflector plates on the underside of the clylinders in an attempt ot reduce the temperatures; otherwise the air from hte shroud misses the underside of hte cylinders. Not wholly convinced that the Europa 'snout' is that efficient. Duncan McF. PS price of hte shroud in the UK is 180. The 's' comes with them as standard, but the agent takes them off and sells them back as an option at 180!! ----- Original Message ----- From: <KarkelB@aol.com> Subject: Re: Europa-List: Cooling Air Baffle > --> Europa-List message posted by: KarkelB@aol.com > > Hi Dave, > i have the cooling air baffle and its going onto my 914.

    Subject: Looking for Europa forum
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Trems" <Tremsx2@lvcm.com> Hi all" I am new and am thinking of buying a Europa XS in the future. I wanted to ask quite a few questions as I sure all of you had done before buying. I wanted to know if there is a Europa Forum where I could look at question that were already asked so I can view them. Also I wanted to look at some if any problems that Europa owners have run into while building the aircraft and after. I have so many questions as this will be my first kit. Well thanks for your time and help Allan Las Vegas, NV

    Subject: Re: Looking for Europa forum
    --> Europa-List message posted by: DuaneFamly@aol.com Allan, You are looking at the right aircraft for a first time builder. The support you can access via phone, fax, or forum will get you through any encountered problems. There is a big thread listing at: <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/asarangan/europa_forum.html">http://www.geocities.com/asarangan/europa_forum.html With the search function you can get info on any keyword in any thread. But until you have a specific problem, all you can do is scan for anything interesting. You could also go to fellow builder's websites. They have documented many of the situations they have encountered during their builds. Many have pix to help you understand the different aspects of their builds. Just ask the forum and many will give you direct address to their websites. Good luck. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Trigear Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Trigear
