    Subject: change of email address
    Thanks for the offer of assistance at FFF. Details of your move noted. I want to have a talk with you regarding one of the projects I may take on over the winter. Terry Clark (G-IRON) is very unhappy with his high top. The visibility forward is very poor due to a very distorted screen (E(2004) have provided a replacement screen) but it has not been fitted. The present idea, discussed with Andy (in his Europa days), is to lower the cowl and top of firewall to the original height. Blend this in to the hightop fuse top and add a new deeper screen. See attached drawing. The composite work looks as if it will work out well but I know nothing of the complications of getting a new screen made. I think we might get away with an existing screen if the existing curvature is continued to the edge of the blank and we can get at least 1.8 inches of additional material out of the blank. From what I remember of my screen there was very nearly this much spare. If we do need a new mould what exactly would be needed?

    --> Europa-List message posted by: "nigel charles" <nwcmc@tiscali.co.uk> Hi Ian I could do a shift for the Europa stand on Saturday or Sunday. Nigel -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of G-IANI Sent: 04 July 2006 18:49 --> Europa-List message posted by: "G-IANI" <g-iani@ntlworld.com> First my thanks to those of you who have volunteered already after Dave Bosomworth's note. The name I have are Brian Fogg, Rick Wood, Robert Shaw so they do not need to reply again. If you think you volunteered but I did not get the message please let me know. It's that time of year again and I am begging for assistance as usual. The PFA are pushing me to provide the names of those to receive free tickets in the next week so I have to get my act together. As last year we have been asked to organise the Composite Demonstration area and assist with the joint Factory Club tent. EUROPA(2004)/ CLUB STAND We expect the Europa (2004) and Club stand to be a single open area (rather like last year). The Club would like to provide THREE people for the period from 11.00 to 17.00 Friday and Saturday and from 11.00 to 16.00 Sunday. So proposed shift are 11.00 - 14.00 and 14.00 - 17.00 (16.00 on Sunday). Your task will be to "muck in" with the Committee members to talk to Club members and with the Europa staff present to talk to potential customers. COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION DEMONSTRATION AREA Various experts will be around to help with really tricky questions so you do not need to be an expert but we need are two people at a time to man the stand. So why not do it with a co-builder (or friend if you still have any). If you cannot persuade a friend I will be happy to pair you up with some other suitably insane aircraft builder. The proposed slot are 11.00 to 14.00 and 14.00 to 17.00 (16.00 on Sunday) on each of the three days (but we will try to arrange things to fit your attendance). The task will be to talk to those who visit the stand, answer questions and to demonstrate working in composites. We are not expecting you to be give a lecture on the subject just to talk to those attending about you experience. We will provide some example pieces in various states of construction and we expect to have a composite fuselage (probably a Bambi) that you can show visitors round. We will have available suitable moulds to make small items (exactly what has yet to be decided). Please let me know if you want to make something specific. This is a perfect opportunity for those of you who want to make something small but are deterred by having to buy new epoxy, glass etc. You do not have to make something specific but all the basis material and equipment will be to hand. We do suggest you bring your own gloves (for comfort but we will have disposables available if you forget), face masks, overalls and any favourite mixing sticks etc. And now the incentive! I will do my best grovelling for free tickets from the PFA and I expect to have enough for all who work on the composite demonstration area. You will get free entry to the Rally (all days + camping if required) for doing a session. You will get to keep the beautiful demonstration piece you produce. Volunteers for less hours will be very welcome but PFA largess will not extend to free tickets. If you can help us out, please contact me direct. Please give the hours you would be prefer to work and your home address (needed so tickets can be sent to you). I will then try and work out a timetable and contact all who have volunteered.

    Subject: Re: change of email address
    --> Europa-List message posted by: "Duncan McFadyean" <ami@mcfadyean.freeserve.co.uk> I think you may need a new mould. Graham would be able to confirm, but I think the original screens already came to the edge of the 'blank' to the extent that the bottom of the screen was optically distorted (presumably by the excess material cantilevering beyond the blank). I sneaked-in an extra 1/2" of depth on the lower edge (by lowering the firewall and 'squashing' the fus. moulding), but it was effectively of no use because of the optical distortion on that extra 1/2"!

He was a Europa Club member. If you are in touch with any of his surviving family, please pass on to them our condolences, and apologies for any distress caused because we didn't know in time to cancel the delivery of Europa Flyer #49. The last info I had from Dennis at renewal in March was that he was building kit A252, a standard-wing XS monowheel. There was no engine or prop info, so I guess he was a fairly long way from flying it. Hope this helps. regards Rowland -- | Rowland Carson (retiring) Europa Club Membership Secretary - email for info! | Europa 435 G-ROWI (750 hours building) PFA #16532 | e-mail <memsec@europaclub.org.uk> website www.europaclub.org.uk
