All those people drinking tea & coffee creates a big demand for water. So, even if you can't spare the time to man the shop for me, perhaps you could fit in a few minutes to haul some water from the nearest supply back to our water-boiler. Already arrived at Kemble is Stefan Ingemarsson in SE-XRX. Maybe the weather isn't as bad as we thought! regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson Europa Club Membership Secretary - email for info! | Europa 435 G-ROWI (710 hours building) PFA #16532 | e-mail website ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:01:33 PM PST US From: RMRRick@aol.com Subject: Re: Europa-List: Fly In at Lydeway 17th /18th July --> Europa-List message posted by: RMRRick@aol.com Nigel If possible I would like to join the Lydeway Fly in on the 17th.

This is quite unsettling news. While i know there is a strong community of europaphiles out there (here), to have a plane become an orphan when it is only half finished is not a nice feeling. How's it going in the UK? ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:29 PM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: us office From: Gerry Holland --> Europa-List message posted by: Gerry Holland Tom Hi! > I heard today that the europa office is going to adopt a part-time > schedule of weekends, due to lack of revenue.

How's it going in the UK? Today is Day 1 of the PFA Rally (mini version of Oshkosh) and according the programme of events Europa will be there. I think your fears and other questions will be asked loud and long today. I will be there today and will ask some questions regarding USA and general comments about situation where Builders have only partial Kits. I'll write again tonight.

Caveat Emptor Rule breakdown below pts rule name description --> Europa-List message posted by: "Richard Iddon" Following on from the thread on noisy Microair radio=92s, I have just received the Xcom intercom ordered direct from Xair in Aus. Very good service although I did have to pay the postie an extra =A324 for VAT etc when it arrived. Also I have now discovered that I will probably have to re-wire the PTT, Microphones and headsets as the Microair has these linked together but they are wired separate if using the Xcom. They have offered to supply a harness but that would be another $275 and I guess I would still need to strip out and rewire the above. Their web site states that =91fitting the unit should take little more than 15 minutes=92. I=92ll take that with a large pinch of salt. Looks like a job for winter.

The stand they booked (but did not pay for) is next to the Europa Club stand, and has now been sold to another firm, already in occupation yesterday (Thursday). >I think your fears and other >questions will be asked loud and long today The Europa Club Committee will do our best to help with all such questions, and raise any others as appropriate. We understand that Andy & Neville are hoping to be present, in non-official capacity, and they may be able to help with some answers. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson Europa Club Membership Secretary - email for info! | Europa 435 G-ROWI (710 hours building) PFA #16532 | e-mail website
