To all owners and operators. I received a call from a client who inadvertently misplaced his gas cap. His kit is a about a 2001 XS and Europa-Aircraft (2004) does not have stock on these older caps. Come to find out, the caps changed in or about 2003. All caps on newer XS kits have a smaller cap and ring (65mmOD). What to check. If you have a fuel cap supplied with your kit made by SPRL that measures 70 mm OD on the gray cap, these caps are no longer in production and the new 65 mm caps do not fit properly. Aircraft Spruce and Wicks do not have any old style caps in inventory. Classic caps and the newer XS kits are available but the cap and flange have to be bought at an average price of about $60-$70. On the older pre 2004 kits if you have the 70 mm cap and you wish to upgrade to the newer style, you will have to cut the fuel ring out and replace. Not fun especially since the diameters are different. Please review the pdf document attached for details on the differences. I am putting together a special order for my Custom Flight Clients for the older 70 mm caps through Newton SPRL. The price is reasonable and less then current retail. I highly recommend that older XS kit owners purchase a spare in the unlikely event your cap may disappear. We are not supplying the key lock. This is a one time shot as it is coming out of my pocket for the R&D. I cannot expect the current Europa Company to support these pre 2004 kit fuel caps as it is not economically viable to do so. However, determined owners like myself will attempt to make a special order through the manufacturer happen to keep my clients happy and supplied. You are all welcome to piggy back on my efforts and research. Email or call in your order to me direct, not through the Matronics site please so as not to clutter up the site.

Used in perfect condition. We are in final negotiations, but no cash exchanged. Sitting in my shop ready to go on a container. Wings are perfect with fast build ailerons and flaps. Better fast builds than the factory. Shipping is going to kill you with this one. One 20 foot container now days is about $5500 one way port to port. Pretty Ugly.

Last week I was in Austria, changing a Mono into a Tri. The owner of this Classic Europa has installed an intercooler system in combination with the Rotax 914 and a constant speed prop. They got this system by Rotax Franz on the test rig and measured a power increase of about 15 horsepower. And he still is not using the full size of the cooler. Therefore an installation is possible. I will ask Heinz if he is willing to share his development. He is looking for XS wings and I got via Karen this quote from EA (Dave Stanbridge`s calculation): The price for a set of XS wings with NG control surfaces, complete with hardware kit would be GBP =A315795.00 plus delivery and VAT. Is there somewhere a XS wing set for a normal price available? Have safe and nice flights, Bruno Reith -----Urspr=FCngliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com] Im Auftrag von spcialeffects Gesendet: Freitag, 15.

I plan to install a 914 turbo engine and I believe that it only uses electric pumps (2 off) so this shouldn't affect me. Anyone else on here who has a classic with classic cowls and a 914?
