      I have the KMD150 as well and have the aerial just above it on top of
      the instrument panel. Mine has worked fine without any interference. I
      think it highly likely that the interference suffered is due to the way
      the panel has been wired. When the distances between sensitive equipment
      are small the layout and screening of the wires are critical to avoid
      problems. In my case the radio is separated from the GPS by the uMonitor
      which probably helps to reduce interference.
      
      Relocating the aerial is probably the easiest and quickest way to
      overcome the problem in this case. However for those still building,
      provided that the wiring is done carefully and the radio is not
      immediately adjacent to the GPS, the aerial can be placed on top of the
      panel. This has the advantage of reduced wiring length and is one less
      connection between the panel and airframe.

      Dan, with the CM already in, if you want to put the unit in the headrest your going
      to have to drill a large diameter hole in the head rest and the installed
      wood plate. If you go to the side of the head rest your going to have to put
      in some reinforcing lay ups.

      Cap. fuel gauge install.
      also NAS1473-A3:

      From looking at mod 60 I would guess that the spit ring is a "O" with a slit in
      it from inside to outside. This would let you push one end of the ring into the
      tank, then turning the ring wild allow the ring to screw it self into the tank.
      Putting a large diameter ring thru a smaller hole.

      Hmmmm.... looking at my CM you might be able to get the sender in without going
      thru the top of the head rest but it looks tight....

      You are right. Andy had every right to talk openly about Jabiru alternatives
      and in fact it was the most factual overview on any subject for a long time.
      One or two complained. That's their right too.
      
      The political outbursts were in the most party light hearted (well mine was
      meant to be) and coincided with the annual Conference of each of our
      Political parties.
      
      Tongue in cheek.......
      
      Concorde is an aircraft, Politics affects our ability to own or operate an
      Aircraft, especially in Europe and most people here and about have taken
      advantage of the enlightened costs of components in the USA and returned
      them back here unseen via Atlantic flights.
      
      On a more serious note. Many of your trends in the USA arrive here in UK
      about 5 to 10 years later, Good or bad. The one that hasn't is the more open
      attitude towards Homebuilt Aircraft building. Add to that a real threat from
      Euro-Control that will make flying even more expensive through navigation
      charges and Mode S TPx and politics does have a place here sometimes on the
      forum.
      
      In an effort to stay on the Forum ........ EUROPA. Nice Aircraft!

      Hi Bill, 
      
      I am not sure if you were looking for motor glider data but I have pasted in below
      the entry from the aircraft logbook of my standard wing XS with a 912S when
      I did a service ceiling check during my 40 hour test phase. As you can see,
      I still had 200 + fpm at 16,000 ft and I estimate the true service ceiling at
      100 fpm would be somewhere around 18,000 ft. I chose not to go any higher since
      it was a bit chilly up there and I had proved my point to see how I would get
      on in the Rockies. The gross was close to max with lead ballast for the passenger
      and baggage, and the surface temperature was a little cooler than a 'standard'
      day. I borrowed some oxygen gear for the flight. This flight was before
      I added the fuel flow/totaliser option to my EIS so I do not have any good fuel
      consumption data.

      Hello Dan
      
      I am not sure if Mod 60 with a LTS is what I installed, but it was the Europa
      Mod, i purchased from europa with a float style sender and came with a VDO
      gauge.
      
      Anyway I installed it in a accelerated CPM. The way i did it was to install it
      aft of the recommended location to avoid sitting on the seam of the tank. I
      moved it sideways a bit as well to get to a flatter part of the tank as well. I
      positioned so I could access the phillips screws with a screwdriver with a 30
      or 40 degree offset, it is the type with gears so you turn handle and the tip
      turns and stays at the offset. Could really not assemble in the position i
      chose without that screwdriver. I had to work through the headrest hole, very
      tight, but 1/32 inch extra clearance or 32 feet upon assemble does not matter,
      you just need clearance.
      
      The way you install it is to make a hole in tank. Then there is 2 rubber
      gaskets that fit 1 on the outside and 1 on the inside of the tank. They supply
      a aluminium ring, probably 1/8 thick and the width of the gaskets, perhaps just
      a tad wider. Then you rivet the nut plates to the aluminium rings. Using flush
      rivets. The nut plates have an o ring and a acorn style cover over the bottom.
      This seals them to the aluminium, since the bottom is sealed no vapor can get
      in.. thus no vapor can pass through threads and into the cockpit. you were
      supposed to split the aluminium and somehow screw it into the tank like you
      would a wire wound key ring. Hint from Neville was to cut the aluminium into 2
      pieces, one with 3 nut plates, and 1 with 2 nut plates. that is what i did. i
      made the mistake of trying to use some EZ Lube grease to get the rubber and
      aluminium stuck. I think the name is EZ Lube, maybe EZ Turn. anyway it is a
      real real thick grease for sealing threads and lubricating anything that lives
      in petro. Mistake, although it worked well to position parts, it allowed the
      O-ring to squeeze out sideways.
      
      My CPM was out when installing, so i turned things upside down. It would be a
      lot harder if you need to work right side up. If you can figure how to turn
      what you have upside down with less than an hour of work, you will save
      yourself a lot of hassle.
      
      Since it is such a pain to position stuff, the second time around i made
      gaskets from automotive fuel pump diaphragm material, it has a reinforcing in
      it to make it more dimensional stable. I used 2 thickness which are the same
      thickness as 1 of the original. I used some automotive weather stripping
      contact glue thinned with MEK to hold and position stuff. worked great. local
      aeroplane guys use it in fuel environment applications with good success.
      
      If you cant find any of those sealed nut plates (call the factory) I would look
      hard at machining a wider counter bore on the top face of the sender, then
      machine or purchase some screws with wide and flat bottom and cut a gasket out
      of 1 thickness of the diaphragm material. You would use a standard nut plate, i
      would use the nut plates that are crimped, not elastic nylon. Also run a tap a
      little ways into the nut plate to reduce some of the torque needed to tighten.
      do this before you rivet in place, it takes a knack to get it where you want
      it. BTW this works in other areas of europa, no need to bust your hands and
      replace hardware on an inspection cover, just tap it till you reduce friction
      where it is easy enough to turn and should not back out.
      
      There ya go.

      Hi Kingsley,
      
      I missed the worst of the rotor, through no skill on my part, just dumb 
      luck.  I was without oxygen, and was getting a little nervous when I was 
      at 15,000 feet and still ascending at 1000 fpm, with the throttle all 
      the way back and air speed nearing VNE.  I finally turned down wind and 
      fairly soon was out of the lift.  I hated to have to give up on all that 
      free energy, I can see how soaring could be rather addictive.
      
      BTW, our Europa modifications and wiring diagram that were on Europa-USA 
      are also on my personal website, at:
      http://terryseaver.home.comcast.net/europa_page.html

      be affected by VHF radio nearby, so try with & without the radio 
      swiitched on. If it is the radio, you need an in-line notch filter 
      (Garmin do them, maybe via AFE at Oxford?).

      I can't see how a notch filter will solve the OP's problem, as this
      item is to trap harmonics while transmitting and only needed on
      certain oddball (in U.S.at least ) frequencies at that.  As Nigel has
      pointed out, interference from a noise source in the panel is a likely
      suspect, but this type of noise weakens with the cube of the distance
      from the source, so it needn't necessarily be moved much.  If it
      occurs when a comm is merely turned on, and it has a switching
      regulator, that's a robust noise source.  I'd first try moving the
      antenna temporarily to various other places in the panel, even in the
      area of the right-side shelf.  Moving it to the top of the fuselage
      will mean quite a few more feet of coax, for up to maybe 40% loss in
      signal strength, so that even a compromised location somewhere in the
      panel, like inside but underneath the shelf, can be acceptable.

      40%  ?????
      
      My GPS antenna is not just an antenna. It is a receiver. The signal on the 
      wire coming out of it is data, not RF.
      
      This equipment now days is pretty much all digital.  My bet is that the 
      "noise" of the com is effecting the receiver of the GPS antenna.  Fix it by 
      moving the antenna receiver mogul.  That is the easy way and put it up out 
      of the way in the overhead.

      Cheers,
              I agree with Fred. Funnily enough I just read an email about a month
      ago where one of us had put his antenna on the starboard footwell ceiling in
      the engine room.......... I think he said it worked well, but then there's
      agreat big metal thing in there. Might be worth trying.
              Does your wayward GPS box accept another antenna, perhaps an active
      one? The alternate test is a good one.

      Cheers,
              I just gooped the rudder bars which infringe upon the firewall
      sides. I made overlapping plates either side and gooped the whole opening
      with  a McMaster-Carr offering of "Grace Flamesafe FS-1900 Sealant" - an
      intumescent, elastomeric Firestop". I put the firepot to a copy of the
      materials to see, and it kept the flames at bay for at least 15 minutes -
      and it's good for one year.

      I'm hoping it won't intumesce all over my golf shoes.

      Gerry,
      
      Well, put. I guess that mine was more aimed at those that try to quell 
      discussion, rather than an open discussion in a wider range.
      
      I am presently at CopperState here in Arizona and am starting to hear some 
      bad noise about aspects of European views on flying migrating here to the US. 
      Namely, privatizing many aspects of the FAA and FSS system. That would lead to
      
      fees and charges for all the Wx info, Flight planning, etc. that are now paid 
      for with our taxes.

| Subject:  | Epibond 420, not exact same as Redux  | 
      
      --> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
      
      Just mixed up some of our new shipment of Epibond 420. The yellow slime seems bout
      the same as redux, but the other is much more blue. Once mixed it is more blue,
      where Redux is more green.
      
      As far as shelf life, it is dated 6 months from MFG. Ship Date. Mine goes south
      in
      4 months, you see the place i purchased from, had it a little longer than a month.
      i specific questioned sales rep and they go through a lot and it is very fresh.
      
      Anyone test how it works after expiration date?
      
      I know if stored properly redux can work fine for a year or more after its 2 year
      expiration date.
