Maul1,
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,
inside and out, at that time. Eventually, I'll be posting a full section
on my Europa Owners website.
Check six,

Hi,
Recommend you talk with Mark Castle-Smith (LAA ET avionics course instructor).
His email is markcs[at]btinternet.com.
I use the D10A now and it is a great piece of kit. The D100 gives you more connectivity,
etc.
Mark has recently done some work on GIPOD, l made up a fan module which helps with
demisting and also pulls heat from behind panel onto the screen, see attached
pictures. Mark installed it.
Regards
John

Michel,
I have been traveling much. Home from Florida on the 16th. Unloaded the aircraft
into my hanger, went home and washed everything in my suitcase and repacked
for Rough River. Awake at 0430 on the 17th to depart for RR at 0500. Returned
from RR on the 19th. Washed everything in the suitcase and repacked for a
week trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico. Awake at 0700 on the 20th to depart for Ruidoso
at 0730. Returned home late on the 26th and have been trying to catch up
on everything after being away a month.
I have about 500 MB of photos from the Tri-Gear conversion and repairs to the wings.
Also a few other odd pics taken during the trip to Custom Flight Creations.
I can put these all on a DVD and mail or ship to you if that's OK with you.
All the photos are in time sequence so they should follow reasonably well.
I'll be happy to answer questions on any of the pics.
If you would like me to ship the DVD simply provide your mailing address and I'll
have it out tomorrow.
Till then, here are a couple small pics of the final work:
It required 10 straight days of work to get to this point, where both main gear
legs sockets and gear legs were completely installed.
This is not a trivial conversion. It requires ensuring the landing gear sockets
are properly aligned with the airframe to ensure the main wheels track properly
and are placed properly with respect to the airframe and CG.
But the result is an aircraft that has MUCH greater utility and tolerance to cross-wind
conditions.
I still need to take pictures of the flap drive motor installation and final brake
master cylinder installation.
Work remaining on my aircraft is -
1. completion of the wing repairs: install new outer flap brackets, install new
pitot/static tube, repair transport damage to ailerons & rudder, fill/sand/paint.
2. completion of the brake system: install master brake cylinders, install brake
reservoir, run brake lines, make and install a bottom cover (old monowheel
hole), fill and bleed brakes.
3. completion of the flap drive system: Flap alignment, install switch and run
electrical wires.
4. completion of the firewall forward, again: oil and water coolers, cooling
tunnel, oil reservoir, baffles, etc...
5. completion of the speed kit: Install wheel pants, landing gear leg fairings,
flap bracket fairings.
Best regards,
Bob Borger

Hi Folks,
It looks as though we may have a break in the weather on Thursday, so how about
a DOTH?.
The LAA mag has a voucher for Panshangar, always a good venue. I suggest there
at 1200ish
(mind the noise abatement)
All the Best, Paddy

the IoW trip off until Sunday. Getting to the field on Sunday I realized
that the weather was not as had been predicted.
So did you have a good fly in to Sandown ? ...and what about the Thorney
Island event ?
Any one have any reports ?
Came back to Wickenby today but never above 1000ft again !
Well the thought was there !
