Jos! that was a nice day you took those pictures! This Spring seems to be warmer to me, here in Derbyshire anyway, maybe your ice will melt sooner than a month?

I have test flown it for about 2 hours and the aircraft is now much more easily trimmed out. Previously I found that the smallest jab of trim would often be too much, but now with Matt's speed controller it trims out very nicely. For anyone thinking about making the trim less sensitive I can recommend it. Regards, Paul 206 hours and still grinning Paul wish I had fitted it to GKWIP! Might have avoided the last straw!

The carpet is easy and can be done for around $100, all inclusive. If you're handy with a sewing machine, you can do the seats for much less than an upholsterer would charge. I built mine out of naugahide, which will do fine until I find a design I like, in leather. I'll then sub the construction out to a pro. You can see pictures of the work in progress at my build site http://www.n55xs.com They are scattered out from October 2004 thru January 2005.

Note that the starboard side is not the same as the port side, but making the changes is not difficult. The master cylinders supplied by Europa with my kit are from http://www.kartcomponents.com/KCEng.html (yup, these are Go Kart brake master cylinders).

Looking at their catalogue I did note that they specify Super DOT4 brake fluid only for their brake products. regards, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Housman" Subject: RE: Europa-List: toe brake parts wanted > --> Europa-List message posted by: "Rob Housman" > > I can't help you by providing parts, but since I did want brakes in BOTH > footwells I have drawings and CNC code that I can provide to you for the > B01P and B01S brackets for the starboard side.

Parigoris" Subject: Europa-List: Cowl flaps? --> Europa-List message posted by: "Ronald J. Parigoris" Hello Cliff Hope all is doing well by you. Our motor and prop are on order, looking forward to tackling the pointy end! Thinking about how to incorporate a Cowl Flap, and like your set up. I don't have any feel for what sort of loads such a thing has. Can you give me some sort of heads up as to how hard it is to deploy, are your hinges robust enough, is there a speed max, and max deploy if closed speed? If you were to do it again, any comments? I have glider wings, and plan on installing a oil thermostat as well. Thx. Sincerely Ron Parigoris
