Richard,
Have you read the diatribe on Page 50 by Messrs Wilson and Hope, with Brian
Hope, praising the good Mr Wilson and expressing regret over "some disquiet
amongst a small number of members".
Time for some serious representation I feel.

I also suffered at the hands of KW, but only to a very minor degree
compared with others. I am no friend of his but I think that the approach
of some Europhiles is wrong.
I am not a laywer, but I understand that trading whilst knowingly insolvent
is a criminal offence. I think this is the allegation that some people
have made against KW. The people who should know whether this is the case,
or not, are the official Administrators (if that is the correct term). We
should be challenging them to make a proper investigation (if not already
done) and, if the evidence is there, persuade them to bring charges. If
the evidence is not there, I'm afraid we should bite the bullet and shut
up, otherwise we leave ourselves open to the charge of libel.
(IMHO and not knowing all the facts).

Hold steady, chaps, before we get carried away.
Let's look into this and decide the best response before we start firing
salvos, potentially at the wrong people.
As an EC Member, this is the first intimation I've seen of KW's letter and
BH's response. I would have expected more notice.
As Europa Club Vice-Chairman, this is the first intimation I've seen of the
proposed trust fund. I would have expected more notice.
I'm in the middle of moving house, but will try to do some digging.

Anybody using the Rotax engine cooling air baffle (975796) on a 914, And if
so did you have any appreciable drop in cylinder head temps,
Also i believe that sealing two of the four top cowling slots per side helps to
direct more air across the engine for better cooling,
Rotax service letter SL-914-009 recommend fitting a oil thermostat in cooler climates,
Any PFA mod approved for this installation, Or anybody considering doing
this in the near future?
Any Views on these would be a help,
Thanks

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Stainless steel Firewall
Thanks Peter,
Your article in the COPA newsletter was excellent, it's a pity that it was
only available to Canadian readers - has a copy gone to the Europa Flyer ?
I'm trying to persuade the local inspector to accept my carb heat system,
and every bit of information that I can assemble will help. I'm told that
Wayne Juniper from transport will be contacting the PFA re the Skydrive, I
hope the response is positive.
I have cabin heat, taking air from the duct on the bottom right side of
the cowling, over a glove on the muffler, through an air box to the cabin.
If push comes to shove, I can modify this to provide heat to the air box,
but it will end up being a redundant system
Dave A061
>
Dave,
You wanted to now, if anybody in B.C. or Alberta is flying without the
benefits of carb heat. My 912 S powered Classic has been operating for 265
hrs with a modified air-box, which operates with combustion air from a
Naca
inlet in the lower cowling and can be switched to combustion air from
inside
the cowling when icing occurs. It is very hot under the Classics cowling!
The interesting part is ,that I have never had to use this hot air option,
even though we have crossed the Coastal Range and the Rockies several
times
and flown all the way to the Maritimes and the Yukon with never any
indication of carb ice ( read the story in the October Copa Newsletter
).The
air is routed from the Naca inlet through 3" Scat tubing into a homebuilt
distributing box on top of the airbox, then through the flat JR filter
into
the airbox. Within the Scat tube I installed a 3" x 2" " Y" , which
provides
cockpit ventilation air to two metal eye-ball vents in the lower centre of
the cockpit module. Works very well.
I believe that the XS cowling does not provide as much heat as the Classic
,
which in many ways is good. I still do not fully understand , why some
Europa owners have problems with carb ice. I frequently fly at the
condensation level with temperatures at the critical level with never a
murmur from the Rotax, as I am sure, other Rotax operators do as well.
These are my two-bits worth . Hope it helps.

After the previous representations, I was under the very strong impression from
Graham Newby that we wouldn't be troubled by pictures from KW in the future.
If this is not the case we need a way to make a collective representation where
we can stand up and be counted - last time, he tried to dismiss the complaints
as 'from one or two members' when we know that many of us contacted him.
Could we set up a section on the Club forum where anyone who objects to the magazine
having dealings with Mr wilson can leave an e-mail expressing this fact
- once we have sufficient support, we can point Mr Newby at this site and ask
for his response.

Hi Patrick,
I had a problem with an intermittent charge from my alternator at about
400 hours engine time. After consulting with Kerry at Lockwood Aviation
in Sebring, I changed the Ducati voltage regulator. Result - problem
fixed.

My classic 914 is continuing to give problems - think it has a jinx this
year!
Now I have an alternator which will sometimes work and often not. It will
cut in only at relatively high r.p.m. and sometimes not at all. I have done
all the obvious electrical connection checks and wonder if anyone has any
better ideas? Suggestions welcomed. Patrick

Nobody I know of has done an oil thermostat for the Europa XS. I think the
logic for this is that with the close coupling of the oil rad behind the
water rad it is not needed on an XS. The man to ask is Nigel Beale of
Skydrive.
Skydrive have a water thermostat design which Nigel Beale has used on his
own aircraft. I believe another copy may also be flying. I have a picture
of the parts which I will send direct to you.
When I discussed this with him at FFF Nigel has not had time to finalise it
as a mod. If the demand is there I believe he will and I have offered to do
the documentation to get it through as a Standard Mod.

Hi All,
Unfortunately the Administrators would only be prepared to investigate
further if someone was prepared to meet their costs. From our point of view that
would be another huge waste of money because we would never get back any
monies owed to us in any event! I'm afraid that KW will keep on winning.

As I said in an earlier post there are oil thermostats
available from Franz in Germany and from Lockwood in the
US ($60 !)
Neither approved by the PFA !
Although two thermostats would increase the connectors and
pipes it would be the best solution as the air could be
all channelled through the radiators and the thermostats
would control the oil and water temperatures to a sensible
figure (82 - 90 C) at all times. Warm-up would be improved.
I am debating with myself about which thermostat I would
want if only one was available ..... If the water
thermostat increased the water capacity I would probably
go for that ... But on the other hand as there is plenty
of oil capaciy which slows down warm-up, and oil
thermostat would also be very useful. Hmmmmm ! Then, the
range of acceptable oil temperatures is much wider than
the water temperature range ... So veering towards a water
thermostat !
But I can't see a UK available product being sold for 35
(=$60) !
Ian, would you send me those pictures of the water
thermostat please ? rholder@avnet.co.uk TIA
Nigel told me about an aircraft that he has sold which had
an oil thermostat on it. But he hasn't replied (yet) after
I asked him for the registration, or the current owner's
name, or the PFA mod number under which it was done.

Hi! Richard
Graham can't even reply to mail two months old so I can't expect you to
get any prompt action !!!
I'm afraid the British system of legal justice on such blatant illegal
trading does nothing for bringing such people as the perpetrator "to
book".
I have a string of similar bad debt accounts during my business career
so you have to take the knocks with the smooth until the Criminal
Prosecution Agency get their bums into gear! The misfortune here is that
it is individual members of the general public who have their fingers
burnt.
BTW there is about as much chance of him suing for libel as a "snow ball
in hell", because then he would have to air his "dirty linen" for all to
see.
I'm quite sure there are plenty of witnesses to prove the case against
him anyway.
IMHO the Europa Club should take the bull by the horns and get the PFA
to maintain the agreed stance......Not occasionally but for all time so
there's no way back for the jerk.
Regards
Bob Harrison.

Many thanks to all those who have come up with suggestions about how to
remedy sticky throttle cables.
I have drastically shortened the cables so that the run is as straight as
possible, lubricated the outers with Sylkolene and doubled up on the return
springs. All now working perfectly.
Cheers ,

Guys,
I believe Dave Anderson set something up for his motor glider. He was
trying to prevent a cold slug of oil going through his system when he
restarted the engine after an extended soaring session.
Dave is no longer a member of the list, but can be contacted off list.

Hello Ivor
"Anybody using the Rotax engine cooling air baffle"
We have and will be installing a Rotax cooling air baffle on our 914 XS
Monowheel. I forget if it C or F but the drop in CHT is supposed to be 15
degrees. One downside is upon shut down it may hold in more heat??? I am
not sure just how much extra drag will be created, especial if I can close
up cowl flap??
We have both long and short wings. We are much in favor of providing ample
cooling for severe conditions, and have ability to warm things up/reduce
drag if desirable.
In addition to cooling air baffle, will drop water and oil radiators and
seal well, and streamline air intake a bit. May even waste some time and
try and fabricate a slick looking cooling air brow as seen on Katana
Extreme Motorglider. Will be installing a Mocal oil thermostat, which I
hear is superior to Lockwoods offered oil thermostat. Will begin with 190
degree F. Even when closed, it allows bout 10% through flow. Will also be
installing an in-flight adjustable aft cowl flap.
Will also fool with a rich button, that will probably equate to cooler
running if needed. If less than 108% power is being produced, the solenoid
will select airbox pressure instead of impact air. I will be installing a
switch that can select impact air below 108%. I anticipate it will lower
temperatures on a fine running motor in hot conditions. Higher than airbox
pressure run to float bowl will equate to a richer mixture.
On a motor that has run out of water, low or out of oil, leaking intake
either at boot or other, leaking float bowl vent line, clogged or leaking
carb or trying to run lean for some reason, I don't mind having the rich
button at my call at all.
I have 2 EGTs, left and right. Also selectable 2 CHTs. These should give
somewhat a clue if 1 side is going south.
I am also installing a slick Split Second mixture display that is driven
by a O2 sensor. I will weld a bung on the muffler just after the turbo
flange to hold the sensor. This should give a good indication along with
other how overall things are doing.
Will be installing a DC-3 windshield washer needle valve on the panel,
that will allow me to lean mixture by leaking airbox pressure to manifold,
thus reducing floatbowl pressure compared to airbox pressure.
