    Bob, We have been using Leading Edge Air Foils (LEAF) for Rotax parts and support. Went to the class there and learned a lot. Service has also been great. Of course easy for us since UPS Ground is one day from them to us. Contact information is http://leadingedge-airfoils.com/ or 1800-532-3462.

    Can I just get a bit of advice from anyone with finger brakes fitted? Mine seem to be a bit odd. Firstly, if i just pull a single one of them it will hit the stop, whereas if i pull them both they have more feel and don't hit the stop quite so much, however they seem to respond better with a bit of pumping first. Essentially I'm saying that they appear to be substandard, need pumping to work properly, and even then pulling just one doesn't seem to work well. Any thoughts on what could be wrong? An engineer investigated it but couldn't find anything wrong - he checked they were bled and suchlike, he then reported it was caused by the fact the master cylinders were not big enough for the callipers so they need pumping.

    Just some tips perhaps you have water in the system so drain and refill w ith correct fluid. Also if you have air in the system Hold the finger leav ers forward agaist the stops for a day=2C which will drain the air to the t op of the system and should give you a better pedal just pump gently a few times if it returns then you have an air leak or water ingress od stuck pis tons also if the brakes start to stich on check the lines for being pinched Nigel Subject: Europa-List: Europa Finger Brakes From: carlmeek@gmail.com Can I just get a bit of advice from anyone with finger brakes fitted?

    I have been trying to get my registration from the FAA since Dec 2010. I have an orphan ship with no paper trail and I'm the third owner. The latest requirement is for me to fill out the AC FORM 8050-88 ( Affidavit of Ownership) No the Name of Amateur /Non TC's Builder what are you putting down. The first time I put Europa, Stockton The are also asking for a history of the kit. It is Kit A210 Brad Newell bought it first in I believe 2001. I think kit A209 was in the same box. If anybody can tell me the name Brad Newell received the kit that would help me. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=357424#357424

    Describe the type of master cylinder you have as well as the type wheel cyl inders. There have been a few master cylinders of inferior quality experien ced by several builders.
