They make the majority of toroids for a myriad of uses and are familiar to hams in many places. I have used their devices, but am long out of it so am not familiar with (a) their numbers or (b) tasks any more. If you can wait until their reply (prob'ly week-day) I will relay relevant material same day. I am sure there are equally effective producers Europe-wise, but these guys are by far the big guns in America (North America really). I note some firms shying away from aircraft matters as a defence against wild lawsuits, but believe we are OK because few toroids result in aviation accidents any more.

For a comm antenna the lengths should be 59 cm or 23.25 inches vs. 26 inches. The RG400 cable solders easily and will not melt.

It seems fine to me. You seem to find such fault with the Europa why did you buy one?

Cloud is beautiful and fun to fly in, but it can also kill you. The reason I purchased a Europa is that it can be trailed around as you can de rige the plane in 20 minutes, trailer it home for repair, store it in my garage if I get short of money and can't afford the hangerage, few home built aircraft have this potential , pretty simple reasons .
