As a consequence, several of these are for sale at reduced price. They include a used/undamaged MT01 engine frame (lightly sandblasted and clear-lacquered to keep corrosion at bay), a new PC02 intake moulding, 1 new throttle box moulding, cables and lever, a new coolant radiator and a set of new grey gelcoated classic cowlings. Please see the Europa Club website/aircraft parts sales section for pics, email me directly - or take a look in AFORS and search for ads 35316, 35322, 35317, 35332. There also some instruments and vacuum systems parts listed under AFORS ads 35319, 35320, 35318, 35337, 35321 and 35365. Clive.

Paul, Now I come to check it, the 2015 912 installation manual has a drip tray clearly visible on the front cover picture and it is referenced in the text, so not a peculiarity of the 914.

It could be that this relates to the high manifold pressure having much greater liability to fuel leaks than the normally aspirated 912s. Have to say I have never noticed any hint of a leak, but it could be of course that the system vents it harmlessly out through the air vent, which would not have been the case had it dropped on the exhaust! > > Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ > > On 2015-12-29 17:35, Paul & Vanessa Munford wrote: > >> ----- Original Message ----- >> FROM: Paul & Vanessa Munford >> TO: europa-list@matronics.com >> SENT: Monday, December 28, 2015 10:39 AM >> SUBJECT: Drip trays ??? >> >> Hi Guys, hope you all had a great Xmas & all the best for the New Year, -- when my Europa should be flying!!??

Paul Munford. kit 625 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:13 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Gascolater position From: "spcialeffects" I am building a mono classic and have a question about the angle of the gascolater. I am at the moment installing the fuel system, pumps and gascolater, under the port side baggage area. I haven't yet topped out which makes it all the easier. I am about to make a hinged flap under the gascolater, however when the aircraft is on the ground, on its own wheels, I want the gascolater to point straight down so it's easy to drain, replace the filter etc. So my question is.....using the top edge of the lower fuselage as a datum what angle should it be at in order for the gascolater to be positioned to point straight down?
