Not quite, I have a Subaru engine for mine:)
Mine was converted by NSI - http://www.nsiaero.com/aero_home.html but
getting in touch with them via email has not been too successful.

According to their website their "wet" weight for the 108 HP Subaru, without
prop, is 242 Lbs, 64 lbs greater than the Rotax 912S.

Which clutch? The optional slipper clutch or the dog clutch?
Pity our Agent isn't as well informed as yours!

"Not quite" was re. the quote about no UK builders planning to use a Subaru
engine.

If any Europa owners are planning to fly in to Bicester on the Saturday and
need a comfy bed for the night we would be happy to help. We only live 5
miles away from Bicester and are planning to attend the evening function. We
can provide transport to and from the airfield.
If interested, please call us on 01296 738129 or 07768 473222 (the earlier
the better).
Carl & Dot Pattinson.

| Subject: | Navaid Autopilot. |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Michael Parkin" <Mikenjulie.Parkin@btopenworld.com>
To prevent interference with the Navaid system during radio transmission, the installation
diagram calls for an earth on pin 7 ( through the PTT button) for
the duration of the radio call. The circuit also calls for a diode in the radio/intercom
line. This diode prevents correct operation of the PWR/XMT led on
my PS intercom system.
Does anyone know the purpose of the diode, and is it OK to leave it out???

For UK Builders/Flyers
I'm having a clear out of all surplus Instruments accumulated during
indecision over past 2 or 3 years! Everything is 'just about' finalised and
the end may be in sight! Some of the bits may be of interest to someone
before I just wrap them up and store on corner of Workshop.
I have a ex-RAF Ferranti FH14 Attitude Indicator in full working order with
required Solid State Inverter (Very small and lightweight Box from RD
Aviation). Both items together weigh 6lbs as an install.
200 ono.
ISSPRO 2.25" Range of Instruments from Chief Aircraft.
Voltmeter - 9 to 16V
Ammeter with 40 Amp Shunt
RPM Gauge (Electronic) 0 - 3500 (Suitable for Jabiru)
Manifold Pressure (-15 to +30) with Sensor
VDO 2.25"
2 X Oil Temperature - 50C to 150C
Battery Voltage
2.25" Mechanical Turbo Boost -15 to +30 with connecting tube
The Instruments as a 'lot' - 150 ono

Presumably the diode prevents reverse current if pin 7 should have a higher
voltage than the PTT connection on the intercom/radio. I would be very
cautious about leaving it out. Are you sure you wired the diode the correct
way around. The band end of the diode should connect to the PTT and pin 7.
Mine works OK in this configuration. The voltage drop on a forward biased
diode should only be about 0.6v so should not be enough to affect the PTT
connection. If you are still having problems try transmitting with the diode
in circuit but with the pin 7 disconnected. If this doesn't cure it there is
either a problem with the diode or there is something odd about you
intercom/radio setup. The PTT connection is usually connected to ground to
get the radio to transmit. I presume this is the case with your system?
