From: "John Wighton" Nice flight pics. Burnham-on-Crouch has shrunk though! The pic is of Althorne, slightly to the west. Dont try the same trip during the Olympics.. -------- John Wighton Europa XS trigear G-IPOD Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=374074#374074 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:14:05 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Lack of power with water heated carb body mountings From: "europapa" As it seems, it has been all my fault. I now removed the carbs and inspected them. The plungers have not been aligned correctly, I did not glue the carbs into the carb heaters and the time I had the problem with the low power it was a hot day with about 28C. Put that all together and I have to be glad that it flew anyway. Now I fixed all that and am sure the heat from the carb heaters has nothing to do with the lack of power. Due to professional and familiar commitments (family holidays and all the work that has to be done be for that I can leave my business alone) I may not test it the next two weeks but then I hope to bring good news to you. Happy flying!

Graeme - pic 7 is Harwich in the lower half of the picture, with the River Stour beyond it, then Shotley with the River Orwell beyond that and finally a bit of the Felixstowe peninsula. Felixstowe town & docks are off to the right of the picture edge.

Barry, Thank you for your explanation...the torquing values called for for the 8 mm bolts is listed as 2.5 kg*m / 25 N*m. This reads like Greek to me, but if I am reading this correctly, it would appear that the loads are well within the bolt spec and I should have no hesitation to use the bolts which came w/ my superb (by all appearances) propeller. Your confirmation would be appreciated.

I have an FAA Inspector coming out on Friday so it looks like I'll be doing my first flight this coming Monday. If he gives me the Airworthiness Certi ficate and doesn't find anything major wrong with my build.
