(Richard Iddon) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 02:04:49 AM PST US From: "Paul Wilson" Subject: Europa-List: Taildragger conversion battery position. --> Europa-List message posted by: "Paul Wilson" Our syndicate is currently carrying out the taildragger conversion using the Swiss carbon fibre type undercarriage leg. The aircraft is a classic, with a 912S with the XS firewall forward kit and upgraded gross weight mod. I wondered where other builders of this type had put their battery for best c of g position, i.e. under the cowls , or under the extended baggage bay area. Also, has anyone souced ready made leg fairings and spats for this conversion, from an existing aircraft which may fit with slight alterations ? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks, Paul. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:47:32 AM PST US From: "Steve Hagar" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Round or Square tips on warp drive blades? My tips are rounded because I nicked one of then in moving the airplane around on the ground. I radiused the edge and made all the rest look the same as the affected tip. Many people have done this.

I have an Airmaster with warp drive blades. I note that some people have rounded off the corners on the tips of their warp drive blades. Is this just for cosmetic / safety reasons or is there any increase in performance by doing this?

These were shiny (I assume stainless steel), chrome-like in appearance with very thin edges - almost sharp. The ones I got from Aircraft Spruce were stainless steel but kind of dull gray steel in appearance with thick edges, maybe 10-20 thou. I use them for my cowl retention and noticed one missing (must have forgotten to tighten it). Does anyone recommend a source?
