Jeff & All, I will be there hopefully with Gold Rush but I'm keep an eye on the gulf storm. Can anyone tell me why we built the few refineries we do have in hurricane alley? Never mind.... I will be there drive or fly! My wife may not be able to come as she's watching over 11 4 week old Golden Doodle puppies. For you dog lovers... go to www.goldendoodledrive.com Looking forward to the fly in! Regards, Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush 145 hours and climbing slowly.

He is in reasonable spirits and making good progress medically. He looks like a boxer who picked the wrong opponent, but is marvellously cheerful and positive to talk to, and there seems real hope that his eye will recover. His burnt areas that have been grafted with artificial skin are healing well. We saw the wreckage of the plane and it appeared that the propeller was in zero pitch or possibly negative. This fits with Jos's description of events, that he climbed normally to 800ft, changed to cruise mode, realised he had that set at too low rpm and decreased pitch to bring rpm up to 5000 but then the engine speed rose above 6000 and he lost thrust, and all attempts to change pitch then made no difference. The land ahead area was heavily built up and he did a great job to get down more or less in one piece. He initially aimed for a road but saw a power cable at the last moment and swerved to land in a tree. The plane then fell out of the tree and in short time caught fire, but he had not lost consciousness (he says it is because Laplanders have thick heads!), and was able to get out pretty quickly, suffering burns to just his lower legs, and trauma around his right eye (?due to a branch) His address for those who want to send best wishes is: Klinicum Wels, Traumatology, 1st Floor Grieskirchener Strasse 42 4600 Wels, Austria Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:50:56 PM PST US From: "Fergus Kyle" Subject: Europa-List: Ernest has it...... For part of Cristley's email he wrote: "One more advantage with the LED is that you can put one anywhere you can drill a 3/16" hole, and even direct the light by angling the hole properly. The standard 5mm LED is a push fit into a 3/16" hole. Then you just need a small amount of room on the backside for hookup wires. If the mounting surface is thick enough and you're careful, you can use a #30 bit for the last 1/16" of the hole. Then you don't even need a bevel. You wind up with a nearly hidden indicator or spot illuminator. The push fit will keep it in place, but a dollup of shoo-goo is good for peace-of-mind." How true (and all the other advantages)..... The homebuilt (like a Europa or whatever) often leaves wee areas which are dark and hard to enter. In my case I added a bunch of 3/16" holes in the dark places, use tiny wires from them to the +&- sockets off used 9Vdc batteries nearby (or easily accessed), and carry a fresh 9Vdc battery. One battery serves many areas in the field, and lasts a goodly time, thanks to LEDs. Of course, one needs to plan the applicable resistances for each application. Saves on extra weight too.

If anyone fancies joining our fellow build travellers then I' sure they will give you a warm welcome as they have me whenever I pitched up at an RV gathering in my Europa whilst building my RV. PPR North Weald and read the book before setting off but don't mention the price of Avgas to anyone! If anyone is there for the Saturday evening barbecue Dave Broom will buy you a drink. With Paddy away in the sun it might be an interesting DOTH! I'll be there on Saturday most of the day.

Got back yestereday with a very poor Channel crossing. I hope Wednesday's will be better and that we can catch up in Rouen. Lokking forward to the trip and the company, Yours, Alasdair ----- Original Message ----- From: Bryan Allsop To: europa-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 10:17 AM Subject: Europa-List: Last of the Summer wine Hi All, I have had surprisingly few communications, so I am guessing the everyone is happily looking forward to next Wednesday. I have to remind everyone of the following. It must be clearly understood that each and every pilot is responsible for the safety of their own safety, and that of their passengers and aeroplanes. Should there any misfortunes neither I, nor the Europa Club can accept any responsibility. On behalf of the Club I have suggested a rendezvous to meet up. For anyone wishing to join me it their own responsibility to make proper judgements on the advisability of doing so, and how to do it. Subsequent rendezvous on the trip will be discussed on a daily basis, but it will be up to each pilot and crew to decide what they want to do. If it is half as nice as it was last year I know we are going to have a nice time. Please acknowledge this e-mail simply by pressing your "reply" button. Regards to all.
