In the last issue of the Europa Club Newsletter we carried a For Sale item
for the widow of a builder for a part built Europa kit which included a
resin pump. You may be able to negotiate with Lisa (on 01962 774390 in
Hampshire) for the sale of just the pump.
Dave Watts
> Is there anyone out there in the UK who has a resin pump they no longer
require? If so I'd very much like to buy it. I'm aware that the latest batch
of pumps from America have been found to be defective, so an old type is
what I'm after. Here's hoping.

Dave,
I purchased the Dynon and am very please with the way it fits into the Instrument
panel. Turned on right out of the box.(With the Lithium back up's) I haven't
flown with it yet as I'm a long ways from completion but if you go to the RV
list on matronics and do a subject view you will see quite a few comments on
it. I must say--all very positive including customer service.

Cliff Shaw has the dynon in his bird which I test flew. This is just the
best piece of equipment you can put in a panel that I have seen. There is
no lag time, it's very easy to read and just plain cool looking!!
Remember I flew his plane without the benifit of knowing all about the guage
or even reding a manual. The menus are really easy to use - even without a
book, and the display is logical and dosen't require any thinking.
Now - where is MY christmas list.......

Dear Roger
I refer to Europa News, Issue No 38, Page 10, Build Matters -
The need for a commitment to regularly inspect swages made with the factory
supplied sleeves in swaging the control cables made me look into the change
of sleeves specified.
When I sought the 428-3VG at a nearby repair shop they did not know of them.
I was referred to the latest (8th September 1998) US Advisory Circular AC
43.13 - 1B.
This shows on Page 7-34 that for copper oval sleeve stock number 28-2-G, as
issued with the kits, plated sleeves are required on stainless cable due to
electrolysis.
It seems to me that the Europa News could have pointed out that the FAA
recommends use of the factory supplied sleeves and hence the need to use the
other sleeves 428-3VG must indeed be very modest indeed as this size is not
even shown in the table in the FAA Advisory Circular.
It would seem a good idea to at least advise where the part number
originates and make more clear how insignificant is the need for change.

--> Europa-List message posted by: RoddyEuropa@aol.com
G-IKRK, kti #220, flew yesterday (Saturday 1st Nov) in the capable hands of
test pilot Tim Senior. Flight was from Andrewsfield, Essex, UK. Everything
working well, just a few adjustments needed (idle, throttle friction. gear knob)
before the next phase of the test flying. After 7 years 10 months building I am
delighted!
My thanks to my inspectors (Bob Boyt and John Barratt) , staff at Europa
(especially Neville and Andy) for support over the years, and to the Europa club
and this list as an invaluable source of information and support. And to my
wife Rachel for letting me get away with this project!

Is it possible that it is kit #219 that went to NZ,?
According to my records, as supplied by Europa in Jan 2002, aircraft
ZK-NWM (ex N13NM) now flying in NZ is kit #219.

Norman Marsh purchased his first kit in the UK but had it delivered to the
US Office. It maintained the UK numbering system. It was completed and
test flown in the US and shipped to NZ. His second kit was purchased in the
US using the A numbering system. With the airframe nearly completed, it was
shipped to his Canadian address. It was then returned to Tiger Aviation in
North Carolina for finishing and Jabiru 3300 installation. Upon completion
returned to his Canadian address. It had never flown.
