.....Looks like this thread is slowed (for now).
Its just a matter of looking for the best way to do things.
I think we all strive for that, while building our Europa.

Yes, I believe you are right here, except for shortwave. My goof.
My punishment is banishment to the dungeon, with only a little daylight
through a small window, for a few days while I do some more research.

to and from the UK
Hi! All UK and European Pilots/ visitors.
I have always had an inclination to forget the procedure concerning Customs
and Immigration.
So to help me not have to ask other obliging friends I contacted the HM
Revenue & Customs.
One of their staff has already compiled such a summary into leaflet form, a
copy of which I will scan and attach to this message for the benefit of
others who may be somewhat dazzled by the mere mention of the words HMR&C.
I hope that none of the regular fliers can pick holes in it!
There's useful phone/fax numbers on it anyway.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG
PS Incidentally Switzerland and Norway are not in the "European Club" and
don't anyone get the idea that "Stalwart Anti EU Bob" is softening his
principles!

A friend of mine with an ARV needs to replace the spark plug caps on his
Rotax 914. He was horrified to find that Rotax price them at =A333 each.
At the moment only 2 of the caps are loose but he had planned to change
all 8 but at that price he is having second thoughts. Has anyone found a
cheaper source? Such a high price is a ridiculous rip off.

Try a motocycle shop. I seem to remember seeing a note from someone
with the same problem and found they were very cheap relative to the
Rotax price. Can' t remember what type mortorcycle, but I would guess
BMW.

It is all down to how easily they fit on the ht cable.
And if it is certified or not !
NGK sell plug caps :
http://www.startright.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2309
Also see
http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/pages/technical/ngk-plug-cap-code.htm
Now the plug caps we use are for the threaded top plugs,
but the same plugs are available with a "nipple" on it,
which would allow the use of a more conventional plug cap.
Of course if his plug caps are loose, is there any chance
he can "tighten them up" !!! (as he wil have to tighten up
the new plug cap(s) !

The part number on is VDO5FMH which ties out with the codes on
startright's WEB site so it looks like it might be a standard part.

Nigel, ignore last message, I misread the post and assumed plugs. You
should still be able to get them from a motor factors though.

I went to a Honda motor cycle shop with one of the NGK spark plug caps off
my 914.-Make sure the replacement has the 5 ohm resistance in the cap. I
paid about 4.00 US dollars for each cap. The Rotax dealer here in Florida c
harges 50.00 per cap.... Way beyond price gouging.

We have been flying for the last 5 years with the bakelite versions of the
original NGK rubber plug caps, sourced from a local motor factor shop - cost
about =A33.00 each. The impedance is the same as the originals - the ones we
have are angled at 45 degrees (same angle as the rubber ones) though im sure
the 90 degree ones would work as well.
I spent months trying to find the rubber equivalents but it seems nobody
markets them except Rotax at the unbelievable rip off prices they charge. I
dont make a habit of accusing Rotax or Skydrive of extortionate prices but
on this occassion its hard not to.
Personally I cant see any advantage of the rubber caps over the bakelite
(apart from them being certified).
