How does the air in the upper end of the cylinder get expelled when trying to fill the brake system with fluid or to bleed it? All sounds potentially messy. Seems it would be better if the cylinder was tilted downwards at the front so the filler hole was at the highest point of the cylinder - of course that would reduce the length of lever available above the tunnel so would probably be undesirable. I suppose one answer would be to tilt the whole fuselage tail-up when filling the brake system Rowland Don't worry about bleeding the brake system - other people have managed to do it. If you deviate from the manual and fit the cylinder tilting downwards you could potentially run into much more serious problems, like not being able to retract the wheel fully.

My recent switch to MOGAS seems to have turned a very occasional double cough into something worse. Two weeks ago in wet warm air I lost power for a couple of seconds (but felt longer). Not what you really want. I'll ask Andy/Francis to clarify/formalise the situation regarding Ian's mod application. Thanks again, folks.

I ran mine for a summer before fitting the jackets and never even got near to a couple of seconds power loss only ever a mild cough. Sounds a bit like fuel vaporisation to me.

Are there any builders in Southern California who could give him a hand? Familiarity with the motor glider would be an advantage but imho any Europa builder would be able to help him finish the minor adjustments remaining. Lyle is an interesting guy, he was a flight test engineer on several outstanding aircraft, B58, XB70 and others. I had an interesting morning with him a week ago after I went to Burt and Dick's birthday event at Mojave. I'd love to go soaring in the CA mountains, pity its so far from Derbyshire :-\ Graham ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 10:35:41 PM PST US From: "Robert C Harrison" Subject: Europa-List: Gas Strut door location lug. Hi! All A very inconsiderate flyer at the Stauning Rally and blipped his throttle spinning round to park whilst in front of G-PTAG with the doors open and pulled the starboard side gas strut lug off/out of the door. I recall some different location positions for the lugs on more recent "ships" can anyone point me in that direction please? It seems somewhat silly to not use a more up dated position at this point.
