Tampere Airport EFTP is 20 km north-west from us. About pwr-lines: we took away one 20 kV line (500 m), one 380 V line (690 m) and one telephone line. That meant a lot of digging...

During ground runs to investigate cold weather starting problems, excessive engine movement was noticed. Closer examination revealed two fractured M10 bolts holding the MT01 frame to engine casing. I dont want to enter into discussion on the list but will be forwarding full details to the LAA this week for investigation. If anybody has a classic MT01 engine mount available then please contact me off list. Happy New Year & best regards, Roger ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 10:22:48 AM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: The Last Flight of The Year 2016 From: Raimo Toivio David, doctors are innovative and pilot-doctors are the best of all! I have "always" dreamed about to pull signs. Actually that happened during my weddings 2000. It was our C172 OH-CVK. This photo have been taken 2002. That same little hook could tow the sign and be the brake hook when landing as you suggested. What you think about that with Europa (please do not bother to ask LAA)? Are you pretty sure its safe when touching the ground (I mean if you are same time connected to the 110 kV) ?! OK, I do understand the cable will be nonconductive material like nylon. Should we consult with U.S Navy? Maybe we will try it together first? PS: that hook must be larger than "a little hook", those 110.000 V steel cables here are around 100 mm = 4".

This is a short version: I happen to meet a son of his old friend here in Finland. He reported Kim is going to fly to Sweden, to his friend in Gotland island. That man is the privat owner of the huge former military airfield there. I contacted Kim, and so it happened, that we, Kim and me, flew together from Gotland to Finland to EAN 2012 to Jmijrvi EFJM. Rest is history, but I noticed Kim is really a capable Europa aerobatic pilot and a teacher aldo. We spent a wonderful lifetime week together - my children are still asking him to come regularly.
