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.

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.

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).

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.
