When you trimmed the top portion of the fuselage along the trim lines.....how much overhang was still left on the top portion that overlapped in front of the firewall? I can't seem to find any scribe trim lines along this section and was wondering how much people had left after trimming. Thanks in advance for the input. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Conventional Gear Just about to put the top on but still finding little things to do before that. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:46:33 PM PST US From: "Robert Berube" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Top Trimming --> Europa-List message posted by: "Robert Berube" Mike, Leave about 1 inch overhang at the firewall.

Mike. Have you tried to resurrect the scribe line with a pencil and using it like a "rubbing"? If that doesn't work I'd suggest about an inch Minimum.

I presume the 3 P clips P408008 which are nylon, are the ones to use - but has everyone drilled through the leg and bolted them on? Or used AN525 drive screws? Or what please?

The Rotax installation manual suggests that a heat shield should be installed beneath each carburettor but the Europa manual doesn't mention anything about them. Did anyone install them and what did you use? Simon Miles, Builder #508, Tri-gear, Rotax 912S, Airmaster Propeller.
