| Subject: | A very lucky escape from power lines |
For your Info:
The owner and pilot of this Classic Europa is Reinhard Leveringhaus.
He bought the plane from Joachim Hohenstein last year.
I guess they didn't want him at the moment so his life will hopefully now
last very long.

other place ;-) , like me!

With the moveable bits off the close outs will catch overspray anyway so I
just thought I would finish the job I believe that glass over the aerial
will affect its performance so I wondered if the paint might also.

Graham-
The fact that he got out without a scratch, he might have been just a bit
better ;-)
Hmmm. So now we have a Ponce de Len recipe for long life.

Yes, this made the local news (KGW) here in the states. I got it recorded,
thanks to the heads up on this site. He has got to be the luckiest man alive
(and she). So far, it looks like it suffered one prop taken out, and
probably some scratches and dents. Can't imagine they just will cut the cord
to let it down. Greg
I immediately recognized it as a Europa Classic Tri-Gear when I saw it on
Fox News this evening. Sheppard Smith was doing his around the world in 80
seconds and they showed a brief shot of it. I knew I'd find the story here
too. Wow they were lucky. Hope they got the plane down too without breaking
it. Troy

Glass neither paint will hinder the performance. In the worst case you have to
retune the antenna, but this is not likely. It is best to leave the aerial tuned
to the lower part of the band until the airplane is finished, and then trim
the lenght to the middle of the band. But then again it doesn't really matter,
since the coax lenght is fairly small, and losses are therefor minimal anyway.
As long as the SWR is within the radio's manufacturer limit you don't have
to bother over its performance.
