Gidday,
Any ideas why Grahams messages always appear to me as below?? They are always worthy
of a read, but the presentation is becoming annoying.

Yes, I just completed this conversion and have pictures of the entire process.
I am departing Florida for home (N.Tex.) in about 15 minutes. I should be home
Thursday afternoon some time. I will send you pictures of the final installation,

I am aware of our need to be forthright and complete in our list. As
technically-oriented people, the line between interested brains should be
straight.
However, in case my child-bride ever stumbles upon this list, could
we not change

It would be my understanding that any plug analysis only indicates the

Guy's & Gals,
Check out the Louisville KY weather report for the 10 day outlook. I
know this can change. and I don't like to count chickens from eggs
but, ..... it really looks like this is turning out better than we
could have ask for.
http://www.weather.com/outlook/health/fitness/tenday/USKY1096
Don't forget for anyone driving in gas cans and beer are premium at
Rough River.
Here is the schedule I sent out last week.
Friday we have supper scheduled at 6:P Central. It's in the room
sectioned off from the regular restaurant.
Saturday breakfast at 8:30AM in the same room with meeting to follow.
Meeting moves to the flight line at no scheduled time. Weather
permitting flying will commence with lots of cowl pulling and
interesting talk. We will also have the airport lounge and the porch
area to use. Lunch can happen anytime individually.
Meeting room scheduled for a 5:P supper. We can stay or head back to
the runway for more flying and conversation.
Lets all pray for the big high pressure over America and having safe
travel for all.

Subject: Re: Europa-List: The Europa(e) Hall in TheEFTP Finland
Raimo,
Good work! Great shop/hanger/bar&grill! How 'bout some pics of the
inside?
***
Bob,
finally today I took some pics as you requested - be my guest and I
really wish you like:
EH1: it is upp on the little hill. At the right side there is a water
tower (today uncoated, normally he is dressed in navy blue) to get water
for roses and to wash a plane. Not so warm today any more - only 12C.
EH2: some foldable transportation vehicles like one ordinary kickboard,
two electric ones and two cyckles (one light [Tunturi made in Finland]
and one the lightest in the world [Sir Sinclair, A-Bike), all possible
to load into Europa. Behind the photo "three beauties" you remember (oh
yes that is Canarian Yeallow fuckin Lamborghini Gallardo Spider LPS
560).
EH3: rigg/derigg aids and a security box for tailplanes*, my Europa
story stand, a lawn mover and some traffic guides.
* I like to take care of my tailplanes.
EH4: an electric remote controlled tow machine for Europa, the wire
lenght is 15 metres (it is quite easy to pull it by man power into
hangar but there is a potential risk then to lift a tail and get a
damaged prop - that is a main reason to use a tow machine), capasity to
pull is 250 kgs - it uses around 40 kgs.
EH5: a kitchen and a work shop with all the necessary tools. Behind
there is a man-powered crank to lift one side of the door.
EH7: an office. Notice a prop blade - that was a 10th wedding day gift
from only Finnish operational DC3 crew. At right side there is a fridge
full of pre-flight drinks and also after-flight frinks. The Text "nauti
oikeassa lampotilassa" means about "please do enjoy when temperature is
good". Under the F-16 poster there are strings which my wife got RNLAF
(Royal Netherlands Airforce) one month ago. Actually she got 4 pairs,
three of them are in use.
EH8: there is she is and behind some aviation art - old b&w photos.
EH9: - " -
EH10: Hangar=B4s roof is a huge illuminated sign - quite visible when
flying over day and night.
EH11: This hangar has a principle: FIFO (first in, first out) and NHC
(no hangar crashes). That leather was once a huge cow.
EH12: -"-
EH13: a shelf for some necessary items like a full rate ADSL, some
aviation gizmos, litherature, maps, power reserve (= battery charger,
battery [accu!] and inverter in series) for alarm systems, some spares
etc you know. This hangar has 4 cameras outside and two inside, one
local alarm and one with an IP-address. If something moves there I will
get a message to my gsm phone and everythnig is recorded into a safe
server 24/7.
EH14: because I am a patriotic, that is painted to the asphalt also!
EH15: flying is nice but to keep it in that status life must be
wonderful also before and after flying. That is why a little BBQ is
great with family or with good friends. Today it was raining but this
summer has been one of the best in my life. BTW the runway is just
behind Piper, taxiing about 500 metres, runways 24&06.
Some of you (let=B4s say 10) have visited EFTP but only one during this
summer (as I know) - he was my friend Dirk van Oyen from Belgium with
his magnificent OO-145. That was a surprise for me. He had planned it
with my wife. I was there. She said "look that plane"! I looked and that
looked just like Europa. Who the hell is coming here? Rest is th
history.
Thanks, Raimo

Europa Community - All of You !
I wanna share this moment instantly with all of you around the globe.
I am writing this time 0330 AM - I came just from The EFTP.
Last time when I have been airborne and a pilot was 13th of November
2009.
That was because OH-XRT (and many other poor planes here) lost her
hangar space in The EFTP.
That was a serious business!
I decided to make my own hangar and I call it The Europa[e] Hall !
That is why I have been really busy during last weeks!
It was completed tonight! Look at the attached photo! If you check it
carefully, you will notice Europa=B4s official logo is slightly modified
in this case!
Inside - there is a little bar, grill, service shop, alarm, safety
cams via internet recording ability, some aviation gizmos, nose artist
girls and other necessary equipments.
It=B4s size is just compact 9 x 12 m2.
My wife certainly planted some rose bushes beside it!
Because it is on a little hill, it is equipped also with an electric
tow machine to pull RT inside (she is so fat lady that even for me it is
almost too hard task to pull her inside manually).
I trailered today OH-XRT from her home hangar from Lempaala to The
EFTP and had also my first aviation session today.
I was thrilled - I have been grounded over seven months. Could I fly
any more (that wild tail wheeled mono)?
Rotax fired upp immediately.
Everything was ok.
I taxied about 15 minutes and it felt so good!
After I did some touch and goes and it felt also good or even better
if possible.
I did some of my best landings - Europa is really landable from the
first touch to the final stop using less than 300 metres runway.
After that I had a local flight 50 minutes.
That seven months meant nothing - I felt as I had been airborne
yesterday.
Obviously flying Europa has gone to my backbone and more or less to my
ass too!
I feel COMPLETELY happy now!
You there around the globe and still building: build it fast - just do
it and complete it ! What sooner that better - it is really worth of it!

Subject: | Re: Final RR up-date #17 |
I'm afraid I have some bad news. Looks like I'll be driving. I just
removed my cowl and found a crack in the engine frame right where mode
72 belongs. I have just now started the long process of dismantling
the engine. I'm wondering if I should have the frame / crack welded
before I put the mod inserts in. I have them but have just put off
doing the mod thinking I'll wait till the winter annual. Bummer. I
don't think there's time before Friday but i'm working on it.
You still need to fly-in here if you can. I'll gas you up then Karen &
I will just drive on up If I don't have it done.

Bummer Jeff...but better to have discovered it now than to have some
rubbernecker at RR point it out!
Others will have more technical knowledge than I, but if it were my
plane, I would most certainly make a weld repair before reaming for
the Mod 72 inserts.

Aircraft Accident
Brace yourself before looking at the attached image. A pilot at low leve
l
loses control over his aircraft. It narrowly misses a crowd gathered for
the air show and slams
into four buildings.
One can only imagine the horror of the occupants trapped inside those
buildings.

Sorry....I couldn't resist.
