The exhaust header pipes appear to be 1 1/4" which is quite small. Regards, -Carl. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:21:09 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: A spectacle in Uk Norflok From: "graeme bird" 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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:33:27 PM PST US From: "Bud Yerly" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Europa Classic Monowheel Fight Test Report Jeff, Glad to hear you got into the air finally. Keep tweaking the cooling issues and enjoy your plane.

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.
