Hi kevin,
I am still a builder but have had chance to do a bit flying recently (thanks
William!) and the pitch trim is sensitive. The trick seems to be to "blip"
the switch for a very short period of time to get final trim position.
Regarding the instument problems, I agree you should not attempt self
maintenance on these . Regarding the altimeter, it should be getting the
same static feed as the ASI and VSI and the ASI is a faster reacting
instrumnet so if that is not fluctuating it probably is the altimeter that
is at fault, but it is worth disconnecting it and letting it sense cabin
pressure to see if that fixes the fluctuation. I understand a number of
owners do this as standard.
Regarding the attitude instrument, I assume it is a vacuum driven one? If
it is, check the vacuum pump is giving enough suction (pump worn out/ filter
blocked?).
Hope this helps.
Brian Davies kit 454, getting closer.

I suffer from these 'nicotine' stains all the time. As advised by
Neville, I find they are relatively easily removed with unleaded petrol
(gasoline for you US types). If you polish the area with a good quality
auto polish such as Auto-Glym, it makes the stains easier to remove.

How extensively does anyone else's aircraft get stained by exhaust? Mine
picks up a pale beige streak going almost to the trailing edge of the
wing, including a covering of the inboard flap hinge cover.

FWIW,
I installed a Bob Archer comm antennna in the glass wingtip of our
carbon MCR 4S. The Becker AR 4201 radio works very satisfactorily with
it. During the month of July I regularly received and transmitted
messages with aircraft 80 to 120 nautical miles away, even at very low
altitudes.

While I had my lower cowling off to give it bigger nostrils up front for better
cooling I took note how nice it would be to have a feature inside to register
against the end of the air filter. I haven't started the motor yet but have
noticed that the filter attachment could be problematic. I have had it loosen
up after sitting for months in the garage. No doubt some sort of creep or flow
going on with the material. Now if the lower cowling had a flat surfaced feature
to butt against the end of the air filter the clamp would only have to
suffice for a seal and not as an attachment device for a cantilever. Has anyone
done this yet? If you have found an elegant way to get the right dimension
give me a heads up. If I don't hear from anyone I'll have to go to my old standby
for figuring it out. I do my best thinnking on this type of issue by wandering
up and down the aisles of Home Depot. Looking at all the stuff on the
shelves and racks eventually sets the lighbulb off
on how to custom fab something. I have made some very passable outrigger / landing
light fairing molds out of adhesive backed foam and electrical tape gathered
on my wanderings.
The trip out to Oshkosh and back in E. Trombley's Europa reconfirmed that I made
a good decision to go with the Europa and also to go for the 914. The seating
was more comfortable than my car (I'm 6 ft, 200#) my back gets stiff in the
car, I was not stiff after 4 hr legs in the plane. My seats were modeled after
Erich's after he sent me some photos. With the wing leveler turned on we
could have slept most of the way home. Weather was bad on the way there had
to fly real low and had to watch out for nasty stuff like real tall TV towers
rising terrain etc. The engine hummed like a sewing machine all trip. We
probably could have done it in a day if the weather was good and got a real early
start.
The turbo adds a startling amount of versatility, on the the trip back home
we were at 6500 ft. indicating 120 kts airspeed and 80 kts gps ground speed.
We elevatored up to 14500 ft. looking for more favorable winds and eventually
found a spot where we got about 130 kts groundspeed. Going over the Rockies
was just a short jump. All this on about a 5 gal/hr burn rate, with a fixed
pitch prop and with the outriggers down. (electrically actuated that fold completely
inboard into the wing but left down because of burned out motor).
The trip was just what I needed to get kicked in gear to finish N40SH. Perhaps
it will be ready to fly to Sun n Fun in primer?

Salut Gilles,
For NAV and COM, are you using one unique antenna, one cable and a kind of
splitter or 2 antennas and 2 cables ?
