You can buy these from the motor racing / rally suppliers. Try Demon

Have you looked on the runway? That is where we found mine! I had left
it on the top held by the vents.

Hi,
Don't ask how(!?) I have lost my fuel cap from my Europa when filling
yesterday. Despite 6 fire service chaps trying to help search for it for
over an hour, we couldn't find it anywhere. So .... can anyone help in
supplying a replacement 'non-lockable' type fuel cap?
a) Andy/Neville, do you have any at the factory? (is there one on G-YURO
if you don't have any stock?)
b) Does anyone have one used/going spare?
c) In the short term, does anyone have a kit someway off completion that
I can beg/borrow/steal until a replacement can be sought?
d) Can we locate the manufacturer and part number for me to get one from
the supplier direct?
Any help much appreciated!
Tim

Tim,
Not a quick fix, but replacement caps are available from Aircraft
Spruce and Wicks. Unfortunately, they seem to be sold only as a set,
cap + flange. See page 165 in the new ACS catalog or search either of
their websites ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com
http://www.wicksaircraft.com ) for "fuel caps".
Good building,

--> Europa-List message posted by: "simon miles" <simon.miles@skynet.be>
Today, two and a half years after picking up my fuselage kit, I have
discovered a small problem with the plexiglas supplied for my doors... The
part for the starboard door is perfect but, unfortunately, the one for the
port door is the same shape as the one supplied for the starboard door!
Does anyone who received their kit at about the same time have *my* port
window? If so, I'll happily swap it for *their* starboard one. If not, I'll
contact the factory to find out the availability of new transparencies.
And there I was, feeling smug, that I had everything needed to complete my
kit :-(

Also, the guy that had the Europa parts for sale on eBay also had a fuel
filler mod for sale that included a cap I think. That auction looks like
it's over but he might not have sold it. Search for auctions from member
gmaxv then contact him to find out. He's in the UK.

I always place my fuel filler cap in the door frame with the door open.
It is then impossible to close the door without removing it. Hopefully this
will help others avoid making the same mistake.

Cheers,
To those who so quickly answered my cry in the wilderness regarding
the goop to cover my glassworks while pummeling the fuselage, my great
thanks! once again (or still.....) it proves the real value of email to keep
us atop the question bank.
Spraylat it is - from AS&S - and not to keep it on for more than a
few months if wanting to strip it off again.
How sweet it is!

Sorry Ferg but for a change this is a real one.
There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way that Windows handles
jpeg images that, with a specially crafted JPEG image, allows up to 2500
bytes of code to be inserted into a core area of the operating system

We are already tracking exploits in the wild that take advantage of this

Fred, Here at the ends of the earth I have a classic Europa cowl which I
would gladly give to anyone who has "lost" one in the recent shinanigins in
North Yorkshire. It's in pristine condition. The recipient would hve to pay
the transport costs. ( Tony K seems to tour the earth pretty frequently.
Perhaps he could be persuaded to take it in his hand baggage)(!) Take note
the classic is 2'' shorter than the XS.

Still available; My Beautiful Monowheel with a Rotax 912.

It flies wonderfully and has never been damaged.
A has a very comprehensive panel includes an A/H, a D.I. GPS and a Mode C
TXPDR. A test flight will confirm the 120 kts cruise with a fuel burn of
3.5 GPH.
Reason for sale:- I need to fund a CPL IR course.
New price of 29,500 is excellent value and a new permit will of course be
included.

Actually you can make that two spare sets located here in NZ as I have a
set sitting in my hangar as well.

Hi Tony,
From memory, the flight test procedure is a fairly straightforward business.
It is obviously much easier if you have a suitably experienced test pilot to
do this for you, who knows what is required of the Europa.
Once you, your inspector and the test pilot are satisfied that the aircraft
is ready to fly there are usually a number of ground runs conducted to take
the aircraft up to flying speed and explore the handling characteristics. In
our case Mike Dolphin only made about three ground runs before taking to the
air.
The first flight is always conducted with the pilot only in the aircraft for
obvious reasons.
He was airborne for about 25 minutes during which he checked out the general
handling and stall characteristics.
After that we (Mike and me) conducted further airborne tests and recorded
the aircrafts handling characteristics - climb rates (all up weight), stall
speeds, aircraft stability (ie: hands off) engine parameters etc. This took
a total of about two hours.
Additionally the stall strips have to be set up and there are usually quite
a few minor snags to rectify.
Once we were satisfied the aircraft was flying happily, we flew off a
further two hours as a single sortie (I believe this is mandatory).
The whole process took us two weekends (mainly due to bad weather) but could
easily be done in a couple of days.
In total we flew off just over 5 hours which I believe is the minimum
required. The paperwork was duly completed and sent off to the PFA and we
received our Permit To Fly within 14 days (it would have been seven but
Francis Donaldson was away on holiday.
It was a very enjoyable and memorable process, especially when Mike handed
me the controls of my aircraft for the first time.
If you need any more info, please dont hesitate to get back to me and I will
email our phone number.
Where do you intend to conduct the test flying?
Carl Pattinson
G-LABS
PS: Strange coincidence, but my test pilot Mike Dolphin has just posted an
advert to sell his Europa on this list. If you dont have a suitable test
pilot available, you might ask him if he would do the honours. He is very
experienced and has done at least 6 Europa flight tests that I know of . I
cant reccommend and thank him highly enough. Thanks Mike.
