    Great to hear from you, apology noted and look forward to seeing you later in the year. Alasdair -----Original Message----- From: Remi Guerner Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 1:17 PM Subject: Europa-List: Re: Europa Club Annual General Meeting Hi Alasdair, Sorry I will not be able to attend, as I am organizing a Fly-In here in Gap the very same Saturday. This date was retained a long time ago, long before the Popham Europa Fly-In was announced. I will miss it. Anyway I am planning to attend the LAA rally in September.

    Hi Fred, Kevin, Bob and Max, Thank you all for your kind words, worth all the more coming from people whose opinions I respect and appreciate. Fred, I've answered your questions below.

The real trick was making a short and dumpy cowl look long and sleek.

I would however be happy to give any hints or tips on how to create "plugs" and moulds to allow you to create your own in a typical home environment (I.e. without full composite factory facilities). If interested, contact me off-list. Nigel

    So, now I am happy again. I solved all the problems posted above. The engine runs good and I will leave the water tubes to the carb heaters open all the time. At lower rpm ( 4500-4800 ) there is still to much vibration for my taste but since I did not fly any other Europa I can not tell if this is normal or not. The propeller is set to zero by the factory but occasionally I want to let it balance dynamically. Thank you all very much for your great support.

    Hi Juergen Glad you are sorted. Mark Burton sells a very good dynamic prop balancer.

    Hi Pete, Mark's site states that the very nice looking PB-3 balancer is not available for sale. Would you have any info as to when Mark will start selling it?

    =?ISO-8859-1?Q?mountings? X-mailer: iolo System Shield 10.7.6.60 Hi Guys, Mark has been selling the PB3 for a year or so - I purchased one last May (2011). Very good it is too - confirmed that my Woodcomp prop didn't need balancing !!! Expensive reassurance but then you can't put a price on peace of mind.
