My long term project finally took to the air on 16-04-2006 at London,
Ontario, CYXU.
Chris Staines did the test flight, his third to date. The plane flew
straight and true, but with rather more leisurely performance than his 914
Mono.
Chris also provided lots of advice, encouragement and assistance which
helped immensely in the completion of the build.
The flight was short, due to a non functioning transponder, and the
necessity of maintaining amicable relations with the tower controllers.
Later when checking for the problem, I found that I had not re-connected
the antenna cable, the last time that I'd taken off the panel..... I
really could write a book on how to double your building time.
Kit A061 is a tri-gear, foam wings, XS fuselage, 912S with Woodcomp C/S
prop. With the speed kit installed, cabin heat, vacuum system with steam
gauges, fire ext, first aid kit and ELT weighed in at 898lbs.

Thanks Jeff,
8 rather inefficient years on my part, then a wait since last September,
first for Transport Canada approval on the Skydrive carb heat, then for
the weather.
If I could get a fraction of your hours in this year, I'd be a happy man.

Thanks to all who answered my inquiry about the door pulls. I plan on using
a piece of aluminum bent ot the right shape and will
attach as suggested by others with some epoxy and small bolts. Didn't want
to cut an access hatch and got some good suggestions
for getting the nuts & washer inside. My doors have "adjusted themselves"
while sitting for the last year or so and are pretty tight
while pulling them closed so will take a door pull mounted firmly. Thanks
again for all the answers and suggestions.

Congratulations Dave!
I know what you mean about that panel in and out thing. I'll be
removing mine again for some changes soon. I also know what you mean on
that time thing. I spent most of my time doing things twice then
wanting to do them again. Let me know if you write that book I could
indeed contribute!
Now that it's flying get ready to experience the best time of your
life! The Europa is a great flying plane and I have been surprised how
easy and many different ways you can land it. Be proud and show it off!
You deserve it!
Best Regards,
Jeff R.

Hi Dave,
I figured he'd do it this weekend. CONGRATULATIONS !!!
You must be very relieved and happy after such a long time. You are number 3
in Ontario. I hope Chris can give it a good checkout in the next few days
and maybe check you out from the left seat ?
Happy flying,
Karl

Hi Karl,
Yes, that's the plan.
With Chris flying, the hull insurance is in place. I've got to get 10
hours with him before the hull cover kicks in for me.
Provided Chris is willing, it's an option I will take. Will keep you
posted on progress.

Al,
I used some U shaped aluminum, I seem to recall it might have been .5" x 1"
x .5", but to be sure I would have to go and check.
What I did was to cut a slot in the door frame (in the back corner area)that
was wide enough to slip one face of the U channel inside the door skin.
Once I have that done I then put Redux and flox on the surface and slipped
it in. I seem to recall that I held it in place with sheet metal screws
that had a hexagon head which allowed me to tighten them with a wrench. I
looks pretty neat and this method spreads the load to a fair area on the
inside of the door skin. I hope this all makes sense.

Paul,
Has the slot had a tendency to pull out at all. I understand how you did it
but thought that
would weaken the inside skin a little, especially with a little too much
pressure from someone
who just got in and started pulling.
