    --> Europa-List message posted by: Graham Singleton <graham@gflight.f9.co.uk> Has anyone got a design for attaching a drive arm to an aileron torque tube, which is already bonded into the cockpit module? Dave Moore Dave I had my Navaid attached in front of the seat with the servo push rod driving directly onto the Fork at the front. (CS#?) Ernst Keppert has his Digitrak installed this way too with the servo under the seat. Much more accessible, especially with a retro fit. Somewhere I have a picture of it. The mod was approved before all these PFA #s and things. Graham

    Subject: Re: Fuel vent position
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fred Fillinger" <n3eu@comcast.net> For production aircraft, FAA requires two vents if you have one tank. Another rule says a sole, exposed vent on the bottom of the aircraft can be clogged by mud or snow. It is certainly possible a builder may not experience a problem in service, but in the U.S. at least, one should consider that upon sale of the aircraft there's a serious liability problem in the event the seller suffers an accident. While homebuilder liability in general is arguably difficult to establish in most states, this is an example where the builder/seller would make it easy. It's contrary to clear FAA rules available as guidance and to the kit mfr's instructions. At least install and test a 2nd vent before you sell her! Reg, Fred F.

I have been watching this thread with great interest. While I am a number of chapters away from venting the tank and sight tube < Currently in Chapter 22> , the thought of installing two bug antenna atop my speedy slick fuselage just doesn't seem appealing to me. I have seen a number of photos for vent modifications to the filler neck and tank. But have seen darn few photos of where and how you good people are terminating your pipes! How about some of you sending a few pictures to the Europa Owners site? SteveD has put a place in the photo gallery under the heading of "Builders Photo Gallery" for miscellaneous photos and illustrations. Thanks!

    Subject: Fuel vent position
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "R.C.Harrison" <ptag.dev@tiscali.co.uk> Hi! Mike. I'd expected it necessary to have an anti-siphon bottle which empties back to tank to also dissuade venting spillage. My bottle is a castrol 1/2 litre oil bottle glassed into place with the neck lower looking back to the starboard side. Both of my vents enter the bottom of the bottle at the highest point and any blow back spillage runs out the bottle back to the tank vent and so back to tank.. The final air vent also in the bottom of the bottle at the highest point then goes over the roof to vent very close to the port flap lever slot. No fumes ever been noticed, no bugs and no clag from the running gear. Not a drop spilt yet ! Regards Bob Harrison.

    Subject: Radio Question
    --> Europa-List message posted by: MJKTuck@cs.com Hi Folks, I have successfully wired up my Icom A-200 comm and Flightcom 403MC intercom. It all seems to work except I can't hear myself through the earphones when I transmit. I spoke to Icom tech support and they said to turn up the sidetone adjustment on the A-200 which I found already turned as far clockwise as it would go. But still no joy. Anybody have any similar experiences? Suggestions? Regards, Martin Tuck Europa N152MT Wichita, Kansas
