Out of the cradle (and into a walker?).....The babes growing!
Good time to tip back a bottle or two to bask in the progress. Whoop whoop!

Hi All is it possible to extend the cowls when fitting a 914 turbo and mount
or new cowls required ? If so has anybody got a mould ? or a pair of cowls for
sale would even consider damaged

Cheers,
Respecting Fred Klein's release of Ms. Europa from her cradle, may I
note that (for anyone building within 300 miles of Burlington ON Canada), I
have just moved all the parts for a Europa cradle from behind the rec.-room
sofa and am hopeful I have no more need for same. This constitutes a
full-length cradle of 2x4 lengths holding 5/8" plywood compartments, per an
early club design, is easily transported (will deliver to save my marriage),
quickly re-erected and simply stored.
Line up, and offer me a beer.

Thank you Graham...I hold your opinions in very high regard...
> Where have you mounted the radiators?
See attached pixs...twin 125 x 250 x 40mm thick rads flank the PSRU;
air entering the round inlets is routed thru internal ducting for
(hopefully) non-turbulent flow til it exits thru the gills along the
side of the cowl. Note that the exit gill is partitioned to also
provide an exit path for air circulation under the cowl...the pix
shows an oversized remote oil filter (finned for a bit of cooling) on
the stbd side.

Good point. I have used a 350 degree F. high-temp resin for my cowls
and the portion of the fairing which attaches to the LG arm. The
exhaust pipe extends 55mm beyond the adjacent FG at a minimum, which
I've thought would be satisfactory...frankly, I haven't given any
thought to the effects of exhaust temps on the fuselage skins. (I
judged the condition to be comparable to that of the stock XS
installation.) Please enlighten me as to why you would think this may
be a concern...(?).
I do appreciate your expressing your concerns...please continue to do
so, as I've entered into a realm of considerable novelty where I'm
guided more by intuition than technical knowledge and experience.

Jim, how often did you experience a stuck waste gate? Mine used to stick ab
out once per year, and was a bugger to free up. Never did find a solution.
