    Subject: Carb heat mod - Oil Thermostat mod
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "G-IANI" <g-iani@ntlworld.com> On the Carb heat mod Richards advice is spot on. If you bought the kit recently you will have the updated documentation from Skydrive. The purpose of upgrading it to "Standard" is to save you the trouble of a SF9 application. Some of the other mods I am upgrading are very badly documented so writing proper documentation is the main part of the work. The oil thermostat mod 10179 presents a problem that I am about to try and clear up. The mod is approved (all of type) and I was about to turn it into a "Standard" mod when I learnt from Andy Draper that Francis had banned the use of this valve as it did not "fail safe". This is curious as a) it was Francis who signed of the mod and b) if you install it with the pipes the appropriate way round I would say it did fail safe. My own opinion is that you should progress as Richard suggests, put in your SF9 and get on with it. The oil stat documentation is poor and the pictures relate to a "Classic". I would be pleased if you let me know what you propose in terms of mounting the stat so I can use this for an updated "Standard" mod application. I will TRY and progress both oil and water but getting any reply, even confirmation that they have received a message, has been taking weeks recently. Merry X-mas to all.

Some of the other mods I am upgrading are > very badly documented so writing proper documentation > is the main part of the work. There must be some confusion here. According to the TL 3.06 and TL 3.07 documentation from the PFA (Standard Mods, and Mods Approved for all types) an SF9 is to be filled in each case. So a "Standard Mod" makes no difference to what has to be done. The documentation may not be quite so good. In neither case does the SF9 form have to be sent to the PFA, just put in the aircraft documentation. The first the PFA will hear about it will be when it is mentioned on the Permit Renewal form. > The oil thermostat mod 10179 presents a problem that I > am about to try and clear up.

Gawd ! Sometimes it is better not to ask or stir anything up. The PFA themselves have sent me the mod 10179 paperwork with the "approved for all types" signature on it. On that basis I have bought the thermostat and now you say there is some doubt ! It is shown on their list of mods. Maybe if they had approved ANOTHER thermostat then they could change their minds on this. If you hadn't mentioned it I would have fitted it, and then would the PFA have told me to take it off ? The original aircraft with it on G-MIKI STILL has it on after 1100 hours. I spoke to the current owner. And I am sure it is still on G-DURO whose original mod 10179 it was. > My own opinion is that you should progress as Richard > suggests, put in your SF9 and get on with it.

I plan to fit it vertically with a vertical pipe to one oil cooler inlet so that most of the weight is taken by the pipe. It will be fixed to an engine bearer with tie wraps. > I will TRY and progress both oil and water but getting > any reply, even confirmation that they have received a > message, has been taking weeks recently. They are overworked and too busy flying replica Spitfires ! They are very slow to respond and sometimes they don't. And the response to my query has been shown in this case to be inaccurate. I refuse to goad myself into making any comment about this. Richard

I have several versions of the same T-shirt. Is there nothing we can do about the poor service offered by the PFA Engineering Dept. Perhaps a complaint from the Europa club would be appropriate. Is there any pressure we can bring to bear, or are they totally omnipotent - like Mr Blair. On the other hand, perhaps we malcontents are in the minority and most people in the Association are happy with the service provided - I don't think so though!!! What do think Dave Buzz/Jeremy. I am still very interested in the oilstat mod. regards, Mike
