I'd install them again for their potential utility, not because a 100 hamburger run requires it. Some homebuilt A/C are fussier to fly, Glasairs come to mind where an AP would be more valuable. I also have aileron trim which is more useful on a daily basis to compensate for pass/no pass W&B. After Andy fixed my rudder trim tab at SnF this year, the plane is totally hands and feet off, if you like, at cruise. Ira N224XS

However, I suspect his sight gauges are not suitable with Mogas. I once tested one and it crazed, that was many years ago though, so it is worth asking Graham --

    Subject: Re: ENGINES!
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Duncan McFadyean" <ami@mcfadyean.freeserve.co.uk> True, but oil cooling of valves is less efficient than water (912!) and with no airflow over the oil cooler there is no cooling at all. In fact the workshop manual for the R1100 prohibits idling of the engine in the workshop for more than 5 minutes without forced cooling. Weight is much closer to (or exceeds) 90 kg when an engine mount and exhaust is added. Then there's the bigger or second battery, additional (and less efficient) cowl ducting, two fuel pumps etc. A promising engine for some applications, but not the Europa and I have to say reluctantly (having been there) that the 912 does it better than the BMW.
