    Subject: Quiet plane
    Walking with my wife this morning, in glorious weather along the hairpin in the Severn when at around 11.30 an amazingly quiet plane flew over at perhaps 2500ft. Out with the binocs & it proved to be a mono Europa. Had to bite my tongue not to say 'Wouldn't it be great to be flying.' (Su was severely mentally traumatised by some f...oreign pilot in the Alps many years ago and came down saying she would never go in a small plane again! ) But whoever it was, (? Tim), I am sure you had a great flight! David Joyce, G-XSDJ

    From: Carl Meek <carlmeek@gmail.com>
    Hi Everyone, I need to make up a cabin heating system to sit on my Jabiru 3300 in Europa - does anyone know of anyone that has made up parts to save me having to fabricate from scratch? The exhaust header pipes appear to be 1 1/4" which is quite small. Regards, -Carl.

    here is something worth a look from a plane; nothing on tens of miles of sandy beach but thousands of seals and pups at Blakeney Point near Cromer in Norfolk. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Woodcomp 3000/W Newby: 35 hours g(at)gdbmk.co.uk Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=388225#388225 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc01186blakeney_point_578.jpg

    Jeff, Glad to hear you got into the air finally. Keep tweaking the cooling issues and enjoy your plane. Regards, Bud ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffrey J Paris<mailto:jeffrey-j-paris@excite.com> To: europa-list@matronics.com<mailto:europa-list@matronics.com> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2012 8:23 AM Subject: Europa-List: Europa Classic Monowheel Fight Test Report Europaphiles, Yesterday was a breakthrough day for myself and our Jabiru powered Europa Monowheel Classic kit #A012. After making some changes in the cowl my CHT issues have improved greatly enough for me to take the aircraft and to finally experience what can only be described as a delightful flying machine. I flew for 1.2 hours and took our "Gladys" (In honour of my English Grandmother) up to 5000 feet to get more familiar with the handling characteristics of the aircraft. I am pleased to report that I was able to trim the aircraft and fly hands off and the airplane flew like she was on a rail! In a best rate climb from 4000' to 5000' she climbed at 1600 fpm. I also saw 126 knots indicated 123 ground at 2750 RPM burning 6.2 gallons an hour. Control forces are balanced and responsive. Slow flight, S-turns, turns around a point all very predictable. My landings are getting better and i'll leave it at that... Pulling the cowls today and going to give the aircraft a real close inspection and hopefully the weather and winds allow me to get up this weekend.
