    Yes indeed, it is a rubber snake replacement! John Yes please. Just confirm we are talking about the replacement for the rubber snake from the top centre of the fuselage.

    From: "Scudrunner" <howardbrooksster@gmail.com>
    OK, so I'm biting the bullet on 8.33 and S-mode. My existing avionics sub-panel is made from rather thick aluminium sheet to which the radio and transponder trays are hung. Given the replacement kit (trig) is so much lighter it would be overkill to use the same material. What do people recommend? - I note that carbon fibre sheet is available in different sizes and thicknesses on ebay? marine ply? (bit old school?)

    I have used 2mm carbon fibre for all my panel and it is strong, light weight and looks good. I am guessing that you could probably get away with 1.5mm but I haven't tried it and the 2mm works.

    From: "G-ODTW" <dave@robotas.co.uk>
    If anyone has a list of materials they have used, it would be very helpful to many folk. The following fields would make it invaluable:- Part Number Description Cost Supplier Maybe with comments like "don't touch with a barge-pole" or " works a treat!". Perhaps such a thing already exists, but I have not found it yet. . . . Currently I am trying to source :- Bing Carb CHOKE NIPPLES Carb heat water jackets Exhaust copper plated nuts Engine Monitoring System Perhaps a wobbly prop -------- David Walters 01474 816817 dave@robotas.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464951#464951

    Subject: ClearTerrain for iPad
    Hi Europa friends, Flying in hilly terrain, it is often difficult to identify and plan for good passes. Cloudbase often influences the choice of route. Flight in the Alps, and especially south of the Alps, is cloadbase often very variable so it is a good praksis to find alternative routes. SkyDemon and regular aerial maps are great tools for planning but I often find it difficult to find good clear information about the height of valleys. Because of this, I have developed a small app, ClearTerrain for iPad, that use Google Earth for analysis and export flightplan to SkyDemon. It is absolutely free and no advertising. There is a small video clip on YouTube that gives an idea how the app works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ3CTxjD1kM AppStore: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/clearterrain/id1183055835?mt=8 Best regards Stephan Cassel LN-STE Kit #556 Europe Mono

    David, Bing Carb CHOKE NIPPLES - Nipple 276 855 available from Rotax distributors ($53.40 from Lockwood here in the U.S.) Carb heat water jackets - Carb Heater No Part No. available from Rotax distributors ($415.00 from Lockwood here in the U.S.) Exhaust copper plated nuts - 8mm exhaust hex nuts 842 950 are available from Rotax distributors ($1.19 from Lockwood here in the U.S.) Engine Monitoring System - Grand Rapids EIS 4000 for Rotax (~$900, basic or ~$1300, advanced) from Grand Rapids, Aircraft Spruce, etc. Perhaps a wobbly prop - Airmaster Propellers from Airmaster or local Airmaster rep. Here in the U.S.A. Rotax bits and pieces are available from a number of vendors. Lockwood.aero is my go-to. There are a number of others. You=99ll have to find your own in the UK. Grand Rapids makes a good engine monitor. I have installed it on a couple of Lycomings and I have one on my Europa/Rotax 914UL and it works just jim-dandy. It is available form Grand Rapids (grtavionics.com <http://grtavionics.com/>) or various resellers like Aircraft Spruce (aircraftspruce.com). There=99s probably a reseller in the UK. It can be a bit of a pain to learn to use unless you connect it to a graphical interface (i.e. one of the GRT EFIS). I=99m less familiar with the Dynon offerings but they seem to work well also. I like the Airmaster C/S propeller. It works well, is easy to use, easy to install, surprisingly light for a C/S prop. It is an electric prop rather than hydraulic. Which is one reason it is so light. airmasaterpropellers.com <http://airmasaterpropellers.com/> I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further information. Blue skies & tailwinds, Bob Borger Europa XS Tri, Rotax 914, Airmaster C/S Prop (75 hrs).

    Roger gave part numbers, if you call Con Air for Rotax parts just north of B anbury, they will know your parts by name as well; of course CFS aero who ar e now the main dealer, contact details in LAA magazine.
