I first met him at the factory in 1994, when purchasing my Classic kit. He gave me a lot of clear, practical advice then, and during the build in Kenya. With his vast experience, he will be sorely missed by the Europa community. My condolences to his family.

Nev was much too generous for his own good charging hourly rates a small fraction of what his skills deserved.

I can't say I knew him well. Met him in 1996 at Europa factory, Kirbymoorside and he was so enthusiastic and proud about the Europa aircraft. Very pragmatic, transparent and approachable. Always answered my request concerning the build. My condolences to Carol and the family.

His cowls are works of art, and when I collected mine from his modest facility in N Yorks in Feb, he seemed in fine form. He was enjoying performing yet another miracle, getting a Europa back into the air. The whole Europa community is in his debt, and this is a great idea to help his family at a time when they need help. Thanks for doing this Jonathan. -------- David Walters 01474 816817 dave@robotas.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=469529#469529 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 10:20:57 AM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: TRIG TY96 and SmartASS 3 From: "Remi Guerner" This is an update about the problem I had with the SmartASS 3 and TY96 radio. The symptom was an extremely weak audio signal from the SmartAss. After extensive investigation by Smart Avionics, TRIG and myself it appears that both the SmartAss and the TY96 were working properly and the culprit was my wiring of the radio audio output. The TY96 offers two options of wiring the audio output depending on whether you are using an audio panel/external intercom or the integrated intercom. What the Trig Manual does not say is when their "audio panel interconnect" schematic is used, then the radio AUX input is inoperative, as they assume that the AUX input of the audio panel/external intercom will be used instead. However for those who want to use the TY96 AUX input and an external intercom, there is one alternative solution: connect pins 2 and 3 together (those pins normally go to the pilot stereo headset) and use that as the mono audio output to the intercom, instead of using pin 7 per the manual. That may help future users of the TY96. I want to add that both Smart Avionics and Trig were both very helpful at diagnosing the problem.

Ira - I think the model aircraft event (on Sunday 21 May) would have been for control-line (U-control in USA), not RC. Nev was a long-time competitor in team race events.
