| Subject: | Completed monowheel airframe for sale |
As a follower and occasional contributor to Matt's excellent list and it's predecessor,
I regret
that I am getting too old to finish and fly my Europa 121. I've spent thirteen
years and 5500
hours on the build so far.
121 is a classic monowheel. The airframe is complete aft of the firewall and signed
off with all
relevant mandatory mods done, including the latest mod 73 (with sb15) and mod 74.
I've also included the following optional mods: 29, 33 , 34, 43 (retaining the
original rudder
push-rod using Graham Singleton's bellcrank), 49, 50, 51, 54 and 61b (Europa's
very neat stall
warner), together with Ted Gladstone's folding door stays and my own PFA mod 10710.
This is a
Lyndhurst fuel contents sensor in a separate fuel stack that allows a visual pre-flight
check on
contents. Jigging has been used as much as possible for high standards (that's
where many of the
hours went!), and I have a workshop log and a photographic record of each task.
Situated near Prestwick airport, Scotland. Major components are held in wheeled
cradles. If you
are interested please contact me off list or on 01292 442513
Best wishes to you all,
Gerry Cole

Hi, The following is the address of an aviation weather website that someone told
me about and I'd not seen before. Thought it was quite good. You can adjust
the map scale as required, and select if you want TAFS or actuals, then just
point at an airfield and the weather is displayed. Oh - top right, click the
flag to select English if required!

Dear Gerry
You did not say how old you were!
I am 77 and done most of what you have on my kit no. 327 more than 6000 hrs
or so and I too have concerns about whether I can finish the job.
I have not heard of the Lyndhurst Fuel Sensor and would like to know how
you arranged it "in a separate fuel stack that allows a visual pre-flight
check on contents."
I would be pleased if you felt like telling me and the other list members
enough to give us a feel for the project )
Maybe more questions might arise if you could tolerate them.
Sincerely
JR (bob) Gowing UK Kit 327 in Oz
