    Subject: fabric flammability
    Fred might i suggest you talk to a marine (boat) fitter. The fitters I visit on a weekly basis inform me that larger vessels MUST use fire retardant fabrics and carpets now (in australia) for health and safety reasons. I have examined a few samples they had on hand and the carpet seems quite light, but not very flexible. The fabrics come in quite a good range of colours too. I have been toying with the idea of lambs wool skins for my seat, which are fire proof, and warm for those FL flights at sub zero temps. The only issue I can see is the lint, and how often they would need to be laundered to keep them looking good. craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Fred Klein Sent: Thursday, 12 March 2009 2:57 PM Subject: Europa-List: fabric flammability Does anyone know whether or not fabrics for seats need meet FAR 23.853(A) in our Europas?

    Hi Fred, In the US, for homebuilts, there are no requirements on cabin materials. There is only common sense! Ira -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=234328#234328

    I'd like to second (or third... whichever) the remarks. The photo gallery especially has been extremely helpful! Steve/Jos, can you recommend software for me to backup my portion of the gallery or is there a way to FTP just that portion to a backup on my computer? I tried a couple of programs but they tried to backup all the albums in the gallery. Thanks again for everything you guys do for us. Dan Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org

I quite agree, hence my question about whether lessor standards exist. It occurred to me that the standard for commercial aircraft might be so onerous that other standards might exist for non- commercial installations. Of course, a case can be made that for the confined cabin volume and proximity to potential fire sources, the situation in a small aircraft requires even more stringent standards. As you suggest, ...common sense should prevail. Fred

    Subject: fabric flammability
    Hi Fred, Here in Switzerland these regulations must be met for fabrics, carpets and leather. For me Lantal was an excellent source: This is a well known firm supplying many large commercial carriers with seats, carpets and fabrics. They sold surplus stuff nearly for free. We also have to treat the inside of fiberglass cowlings in a way that a fire is at least retarded.

    Subject: Re: Coolant / Radiator cap
    Fred Please tell me how these proposals relate to the XS Firewall kit for 912S engine which has the extra frontal hole below the prop which feeds air to an Air Guide Hood (which cost me another $700 or so from Rotax). Are the proposals to avoid my set up or did they arise before the Air Guide Hood was available?
