Hi Guys,
This is aimed mainly at the American crew, unless you want to make a bit
of a trip. EAA 244 is hosting it's "Soon To Be Famous" fried catfish
lunch, this Saturday at False River Regional Airport (HZR). We usually
start gathering between 10 & 11 AM. All are welcome. This is going to
be a monthly event, every 2nd Saturday, so, any pilots near Baton Rouge,
LA, mark this on your calendar as a must go. False River Regional is a
great little airport with decent fuel prices and a great bunch of folks.
Tell your buddies and bring a flight. Look forward to seeing a few of
you, there...

Subject: | 914 and firewall |
--> Europa-List message posted by: "Rob Housman" <robh@hyperion-ef.us>
I have the 914 with the factory stainless steel "firewall" (quotes required
because the thing is so full of holes as to be useless in keeping flames out
of the tunnel - mod to follow) and found that the factory probably screwed
up on the aluminum ducting. Unmodified, the aluminum duct must be deformed
in order to fit it between the footwells because it is wider than the space
available. Since out kits were probably shipped at about the same time we
may have the same problem because the duct was made to the wrong size. It
could also be that the fuselage is the culprit if the same firewall molding
was used in both the Classic and XS - I don't recall when the left footwell
was modified by the factory for additional legroom so we may not have the
same molding.
When I refit the duct I will have to disassemble the thing and "adjust" the
width. It's either that or pound it in with a large hammer and hope I never
have to do remove the duct.
Best regards,
Rob Housman

Hello,
As above, I am trying to fit the cooling duct into the area
between the footwells.
(a) I fouled the centre area with mods to accomodate the Wilksch engine and
(b) I used Graham Singleton's firewall to compensate.
If you have employed (b) with the 914, could you confirm that
the ducting is not interfered with, as the instructions are not specific
regarding ducting vs. footwells as much as ducting vs. cowling (which is
months from ready to apply).
Please advise if you found the combination of the two, (b) and
914, compatible or at least manageable, as am loath to tackle the ducting if
it's not going to fit properly..

PS: Graham, if you're in there, this in no way impugns the design but does
complicate the conception for the moment..........

Europaphiles,
What's with E'04? Over the last couple months I have placed several
orders for various parts/components and have asked some technical
questions. I have not even received a simple reply or even
acknowledgment. What's with them? I trust they aren't in trouble
again? If anyone happens to be in the shop would you please give
them a swift kick in the a** for me.
Thanks,
Bob Borger
