Thanks Alan, I checked out your link, and they have. Eye-wateringly expensive
batteries, 300 Euro, for what they are. Puzzling why Light Aero cant bring in
from Spruce Europe. Thanks again! Best

Home strip, take-off at 6000' asl, 30 degrees C, 912 UL 80hp, fixed pitch warp
drive, its doing OK.

David, dare I ask what happened to G-XSDJ? I saw you with this aircraft many years
ago at the PFA rally, was it Kemble? A very nice Europa.

Kingsley,
While I'm not best qualified to give you an answer, I built an early Europa Classic
kit UK#54. In the past 19 years it has given me and many others much enjoyment
and to quote Bud Yerly's website " After his career in the Air Force, he
began looking and found the Europa was the finest flying sport aircraft hands
down, with good cruise and excellent economy."
However there's one benefit I wish I could have in my Classic, which the XS offers
and that is the engine mount with intermediate frame which moves the engine
about 8" or 20cm forward. This facilitates installing the longer-bodied starter
motor.
Originally I had the excellent 80hp engine, but after changing undercarriage from
mono to tri-gear, it became necessary to change from 80hp to 100hp to overcome
the extra rolling resistance on grass caused by smaller wheels.
Historically the 100hp 912ULS unit had starting difficulties and various measures
were introduced to overcome these, including the longer starter motor. Thus
far I've found that my 912ULS can be started without "kick-backs", but I would
be happier if I could also have installed the longer starter. The Classic frame
simply won't accommodate it!
If you have the 80hp engine and it has the shorter starter, I would be surprised
if you experience significant starting problems. I didn't.

Hi Kingsley,
it you are considering the heavy duty starter, I can recommend this one http://www.silent-hektik.de/UL_912_Anlasser.htm
It has 1KW and I installed it in my XS without problems.

Hit a large bump on the notoriously rough strip on Lundy Island on take
off but before I had flying speed . Came down on the front face of the
next bump & fuselage crumpled just at front edge of thigh support. Very
aggravating! Was my 6th time flying in there. David

Jonathan,
I appreciate the time you spent in replying thank you.
You have answered my question in that the intermediate frame on the XS will
accommodate the longer starter motor.
A friend of mine accidentally ran his 912 (80 HP) without oil and ceased it
so we are looking at the option of a 912S to replace it. I was concerned
that the longer starter motor on the 912S might not fit so am relieved to
know now that it will.
Thanks again
Kingsley

Oops, I meant "siezed" not "ceased" . . . . . can't even blame auto
correct!
However, it certainly 'ceased' to run!

Thank you Roland. That's good to know should we ever be looking for a new
starter only.
