That is good news for us in UK but may cause concern to others farther afield. It shouldn't. The Europa Team are in good shape in UK and I'm sure will be making every effort to fill the technical void left by Andy's move. The operation seems very sound in Yorkshire. I wish Europa well and add to that my thanks and Best Wishes to Andy and his Family. Andy gave me my first flight in a Europa in early 1998. The buying decision was simple after that.

Several of us in OZ will have some grease in a few days. Could you please advise if you still use the recommended 8-9 kg dampening stiffness with the grease or is some other figure more suitable John Moore # 142 ----- Original Message ----- From: "steve v."

Not all of them are Europa Club members, but you should find full contact details for at least some of them on your Europa Club CD. Most up-to-date member contact info is in the members-only area of the Europa Club website. And what is your kit number, please? I still have you listed as "No Europa"! regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson (retiring) Europa Club Membership Secretary - email for info! | Europa 435 G-ROWI (750 hours building) PFA #16532 | e-mail website www.europaclub.org.uk ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 05:16:53 AM PST US From: "Pete Lawless" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Monowheel Prop. clearance --> Europa-List message posted by: "Pete Lawless" Hello Tim 10 7/8 inches.

We use hotels in the downtown area so should not be too far away.

Hi John, on my streak i used normal grease on the shaft that slides into the noseleg, but ,on the LARGE PLASTIC WASHER i Used the "NYEOGEL 774VH" ,a smear on both sides is all that was required - its effect is to "DAMP" the movement of the nose wheel ,the transformation is quite remarkable. i set the force as per the manufacturers instuctions, although you may find a different setting more suitable. steve vestuti trigear # 573 ---------------- Visit EuropaOwnersForum http://www.europaowners.org/
