I did not notice this when I first dismantled the torque tube and did not not note which way round they were. Should the bevel be on the outside of the fuselage or the inside?

Kits 558&575 Shaw Joins Liberty Aerospace June 22, 2006 MELBOURNE, FL USA (June 22, 2006) -- Liberty Aerospace, manufacturer of the FAA certified XL2 aircraft, announces the appointment of Ivan Shaw as Head of European Operations. Shaw will manage the sales and product support infrastructure covering the European continent. The appointment of Mr. Shaw represents a bit of a homecoming for both he and Liberty. Shaw is well known in Europe as having led the original design team of both the Liberty XL2 and its predecessor the Europa, one of the best-selling aircraft kits of all time. I am delighted to be bringing the aircraft back to Europe, which we see as a major market for the Liberty XL2 in the flying clubs and private ownership. Beyond Shaws well-known aircraft design background, he is a member of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots and was a commercial pilot for a regional airline in Great Britain. Liberty Aerospace CEO, Mr. Anthony Tiarks said, We are excited to welcome Ivan into this new role. He is a well respected aviation professional whose knowledge of the aircraft and experience in the aviation industry will be a great asset to us as we start to move our focus into Europe and onto the rest of the world. Ivan will establish our footprint from our new office in Denmark, fully equipped with demonstrator aircraft for trial flights, added Tiarks. Based in Melbourne, Florida, Liberty Aerospace, Inc. designs, manufactures, markets and supports General Aviation aircraft and is the Type Certificate holder for the Liberty XL2. The XL2 aircraft is an IFR certified aircraft that meets the specific requirements of clubs and flying schools while offering the private owner/operator a first class touring aircraft. It is the only production aircraft powered by a piston engine equipped with a full authority digital engine control (FADEC), simplifying power management and providing greatly increased levels of safety, reliability and maintainability. The aircrafts modular design greatly reduces the cost of routine maintenance and repairs, and features a carbon fiber composite fuselage, a wide 48-inch cabin and cruise speeds of up to 132 knots (150 mph or 244 kph), burning only 5 US gallons (19 liters) per hour. -- ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:55:38 AM PST US From: "Fergus Kyle" Subject: Europa-List: 914 Engine connections --> Europa-List message posted by: "Fergus Kyle" Cheers, first, thanks to Ivor Phillips and Jim Butcher for having replied to my cry for help. I am continually confused by what appears to be conflicting instructions and provided hardware. (1) On page 4-7 of the 914 manual sits Fig.8, a shot of the air filter chamber. It shows a routing of the turbo wastegate cable but which item is covered by braid. Is this a required item, or a one-off experiment. If the braid is suggested where does it say so, and what then the size/part no. of the applicable grommet and provided hole? (2) The second paragraph refers to the routing of the oil breather hose needing continuous draining, and suggests it vents close to the air filter so the oil will be re-ingested. It then says that it would otherwise run down the fuselage....... and perhaps get onto the brake disc. Where did you put this fascinating little item?

If too much oil is re-ingested (perhaps due to some other problem like a broken piston ring or scored bore) the octane rating of the cylinder charge is reduced, creating the potential for a whole new sequence of undesirable events.
