Yes, Graham, very nice pictures. I'd hate to have to cut the grass along the edge
of those needles. ;) Fred, the pic of Southhampton also takes me back. This
was my very last port of call in March of 1984 when the USS Independence pulled
into Portsmouth for a few days. I remember well walking past the HMS Victory
there. I enjoyed much good times in London, and touring Stratford-on-Avon and
Bath and many stops in between. Had the best ale ever in Oxford at the White
Stag, I think it was.
Aahh, those were the days my friends. OK, I know. Off subject.

Hi,
I don't have a dedicated Europa trailer but l have a large flatbed trailer with
ramp and hand winch used by the builder of my Europa to move it around. The
trouble is l am based in Essex, the trailer is near Stansted Airport. You are
welcome to use it if you get really stuck.

I have finally figured out my overheating problem with the Jabiru engine. Mostly
it is the MGL EMS unit telling me that the engine is 36 C hotter than it really
is.
I have now been able to fly for longer times and distance and one of the first
things that got my attention is the heavy left wing. The aileron tip is down
about 1 to 1 1/2 inches is straight and level flight. The right is up about 1/4
to 1/2" . I had been thinking since I weight in at 250 pounds that was the
cause, but today I added 150 pounds to the PAX seat, Sand Bags!. It helped,
but not my much.
Bud had sent a picture of adding a pencil to the bottom of the aileron. This bought
the aileron up, but the turning increased.
I'm thinking that I don't have enough lift on this wing or too much on the right
wing.
I remember reading a couple of months ago about making the flap stay down by placing
a block on the up side of the slot.
Is this really a good way to add lift to this wing?
Or is there a better way? I remember when I set the Angle of Incidence and even
took pictures of both sides.
What do I do now?

Hi! Irrespective of loading it is IMHO that you should start from a point of
both ailerons being matched slightly up of dead neutral on the ground, which
you should be able to adjust with all the various points to do just that.
Then fly and fine tune it from there. Best of luck with the Jabiru but watch
out for cyl head distortion, because unless you have calibrated all the
instruments the engine temps can't be believed. That engine will soon tell
you what temperatures it is suffering without any gauges ! Been there got
the "T" shirt.
