Attached is a picture, taken in 2003, of an Ali tank which I believe
was made for Nigel Graham.

Subject: Europa-List: Fuel tank leak
For those of you who replied on your experiences in swapping out the
tank in the fully built plane, thanks a bunch it has driven me to not
dred the job. I am one of those guys who goes with the adage of "well
if those guys can do it I certainly can". Jim B I will probably give
you a call to get some more detail on the joint you described with the
"recess". If anyone else can expand on the joint that gets the mess
together in a structurally sound manner please do so.
Now for the real question. Ever since Europa Lakeland went away with
John Hurst I had blown off the idea of getting OEM parts and just
figured I would fab every thing myself. A fuel tank would be kind of
tricky, though I do have a buddy who is a real artist when it comes to
welding aluminum (or aluninium for you other guys). Has anyone done
this? Making the seat back 2 to 3 inches higher with a higher tank
would give better back support with an increase in capacity.
In any case does the tank have to be ordered from the UK or is Custom
Flight Creations down in Florida actively selling parts and aircraft?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Mike,
LP Aero Plastics are a good company and I can recommend them. I have no
trouble with optical distortion on mine. However, you may be out of luck
with the brown tint; I believe LP Aero's tints are grey and green.
Cheers, John

Thanks Fred, I'm presently in contact with Europa (UK) to see if they
can help but it may well be necessary to order from LP Aero as screens
are no longer made in UK. I believe the US screens are only produced
with smokey grey tint or no tint at all which is a bind as I have
already fitted the brown tint version in the doors. By the way I have
tried 2 screens so far and both have the same horizontal faults in the
perspex which distort the view when the screen is angled in its proper
position in its frame. (The view is fine when viewed at right angles to
the surface).
It is interesting and a little surprising that nobody else reports
anything other that minor areas of distortion with their screens; maybe
my 2 came from the same bad batch.

Hi Dave,
Just going through my emails after my trip to California and BC.
Jiri went on holiday about two weeks ago. My motor burned out in the middle
of nowhere, somewhere in Wyoming, but response was immediate to my cry for
help on how to adjust the pitch manually, but then he handed the problem to
Iva (his secretary ?) because he was off on holiday.
He left her no details, cosequently she sent the wrong motor to my friend's
address in L.A.. It took another two days to get another, this time correct,
motor. Iva stayed late on aFriday evening waiting for my email giving her
an address for the motor to be sent to. They used FedEx Priority for a very
fast service, which must have cost a small fortune. But it doesn't make me
feel any better about a failing motor, with the prop locked in minimum
pitch, at high altitude and 35 degree temperatures.
Cheers,
Karl
