Jeff,
Don't thank me, thank Dave Stanbridge, our owner at Swift Technology
Group, who is making field ideas happen. Look for more ads. I am
working with Chuck Preston (Kitplanes marketing) and Marc Cook
(Kitplanes editor and chief). We hope to have a builders perspective
article with one of you builders featured to cast a light on building a
composite airplane. Concept meeting to take place during SnF. Of
course we are also working with EAA magazine and others. If there were
three of me, I'd be pushing harder, but you can only get the media to do
so much as they are full articles of others trying to do the same thing.
I was thinking of doing a web video on the plane, and Europa has taken
the idea and is getting one scheduled....
More to come,
Thanks for the support.
Bud Yerly

Hey All,
I need help finding the hardpoints for the harnesses. I put off drilling
and when it came time to prime and paint it was overlooked. I have the
ones at the tunnel drilled however.
If someone could measure theirs and tell me where the centers are for
the ones on the side of the fuselage and the ones in the back of the
headrests that would be great. I assume the ones in the headrests are
centered port to starboard. And the ones on the side of the fuselage; if
someone could measure in relation to, say the bottom edge of the door
sill and how much forward of the edge of the wing spar entry. I have a
Zircon stud finder that will detect metal but I don't trust it
completely to find center because of irregular thickness and curvatures
make it a little "dodgy". Please help. I was wanting to bolt these in
soon. Thanks in advance. BTW, I have an early Classic if that has any
bearing.

Great to see the Europa in the magazines again.
For me, I drew a lot of inspiration from the videos - I still have all
three, even the original one (in which the girl seen with Ivan turned
out not to be his wife but a barmaid from the local pub as I recall) -
which I have since put on DVD for prosperity. You might want to consider
putting some flying sequences together in a five minute video and
putting it out on YouTube.
One puzzle though - I thought the Europa was too fast to be an LSA (I
don't think you can limit power to keep below the max cruise speed, but
then I'm not that up on LSA rules).

Troy,
Use this information with a grain of salt as I have the XS model.
On the starboard side I measured 275mm from the window ledge down to the top
of the plate. Then 355 down to the bottom of the plate. Then from the back
of the seat as seen through the wing spar hole to the near plate edge measured
40mm and 130 mm to the far side of the plate. I measured the plate to be
75mmX 75mm square. These measurements were the same of the port side when
measured.
Just for S&G, I used my stud finder and was easily able to find the edges of
the top, bottom, and forward side. The only side I had a problem with was
the side nearest the wing spar hole because of the buildup of plies for
re-enforcement.
Give it a try with your stud finder first, mark the edges, then check with
the measurements.
