We have about 30 homebullts in Kenya/ Uganda, mine is the only Europa, so I'm on my own for any mods... Here's an AN-2 I found at an airfield in northern Uganda, engaged in some dodgy business taking supplies for the Uganda Army into neighboring Congo. That's me on the left.... Soon after it crashed, leaving only a pile of smoking bananas. Due to the slow crash speed, everyone walked (or ran) away unharmed. Yes, lots of stories to tell, and no time. I think all Europe builders, operators will have very interesting things to tell. Russia because of family and kids... Maybe one day we will drive up to the lakes in Karelia, and keep going, pay you a visit. I haven't tried the flying here. All best, Richard Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464903#464903 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc_0011_126.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc_0003_759.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/p5050019_299.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:04:10 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: batch of classic fuel filler pipes being made From: "JohnFrance" <77alembert@gmail.com> Hello, Things never happen fast enough, at least not good things!

This makes me inclined to think about modifying my choke. However, Para 3.2 says that the mods are appropriate if you permanently operate in low temps - i.e. not applicable to most. To mod or not to mod, that is the question.

Have you been experiencing repeated cold weather starting difficulties even with a fully charged battery ? If so, by all means go for the SB. If not, why bother ? BTW, our 914 engine has always been a great cold starter, from - 10C up to 38C OAT. -- Best regards, Gilles http://contrails.free.fr http://lapierre.skunkworks.free.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
