Hi Mike,
This should not be anything other than a minor hiccup in your
flying! Get that form in to OKC and you should be back in the air
in no time. There are plenty of guys flying with treated Ret Dets.
Under Basic Med pilots with with a new disqualifying condition must
also self-ground. They would also need an eye consult. I am unfamiliar
with the exact protocol for what needs to happen next since I don't
do basic med exams.

Hi Will,
A SODA (Statement of Demonstrated Ability) applies to a permanent major
condition. Something like a limb amputation or, if I hazard a guess, near or
complete blindness in one eye. That would NOT apply here with normal, or
at least passing visual acuity (20/40) in both eyes. There are lots
of people flying with only one eye, but it is a different pathway than a repaired
Ret Det.

Jeroen - apologies for slow reply. I didnt shorten mine. You can see the way they

cowls, what engine mount was used and what engine.
For some reason this original post did not reach me - Ive only seen replies to
it. Anyway, here is my contribution.
There are pictures of Neville with one of his cowls fitted to an anonymous tri-gear
with his own engine mount on the Europa Club website at:
http://www.theeuropaclub.org/building/cowl-and-cooling/neville-eyers-revised-cowl
NB I note that the webmaster will need to amend the text of that page in the the
light of Nevilles untimely death, not to mention getting the spelling of his
name right - but he has been rather busy getting new content management tools
and hosting arrangements in place recently.
I have an XS kit and am installing a Rotax 912S with a Woodcomp high-twist variable-pitch
prop. From my conversations with Neville, it sounds as though I am
the only one fitting his cowl with a Woodcompp prop. I am using the standard Europa
factory mount and firewall (although I am having trouble getting that to
fit - it looks as though it would be much easier if I could get one of Graham
Singletons composite firewalls - anyone want to take over manufacture of them?).
I persuaded Neville to cut out & fold for me the horizontal baffles that separate
the upper & lower parts of the cowl, and also to supply new side pieces for
the duct underneath the engine that houses the radiators. (The standard factory
items could have been extended to fit his cowl, but I felt it was nicer to
have one-piece duct sides.) The aft part of the baffle I designed and made myself
following instructions from Neville, as he only had templates for that to
suit his own engine mount.
Here are some links to pictures of the various relevant items.

I had a phone call recently from Jag Chaggar. He says he has acquired the moulds
for Nevilles cowl and wondered if I had any idea how many layers of layup were
needed on them. I think he has a 914 installation, on an airframe imported
from USA, but Im not sure if he is on this forum.
LAA mod 13452 refers to G-RICS which has an Airmaster prop and a 912S. I think
it is using the standard Europa factory engine mount. It appears to be a conventional
taildragger.
Hope some of the above is of use/interest.

Hi Rowland
I am active with Jag regarding Nev's cowl moulds and am going to help him
with the layup of the cowls. In fact I asked the question of the number of
layers of bid. I think it is probably 2 with reinforcements in certain cr
itical areas.

Phil - glad to hear you are working with Jag. I promised I would bring some of
the offcut trimmed from the edge from my cowl to the LAA Rally and/or the Europa
Club dinner so that Jag could see how thick it is. As you say, there will be
extra plies in some more high-stressed areas but I cant speak to that. Would
pictures of the inside of the cowl be useful? Enough of the layup structure might
be visible from the inside (which has no paint or gel-coat). For instance,
have a look at:
http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviation/europa_435/cowl_assemble_a.php
where although the angle is not ideal, I can see several places where an extra
layer or layers has been incorporated. If it helps, I can take better pictures
next time I have the cowl off.

| Subject: | Re: Throttle and choke cable length |
I have read with interest the discussion on the routing of the choke and throttle
cables. They were quite long when I installed them some time ago now and I
didn't understand why the routing was so convoluted. After a lot of thought I
cut my cables and installed them in almost a direct line from the throttle box,
up through the tunnel, through the fire wall made a small change in direction
and attached them to the carburetor. The choke cables almost the same. From
a recessed bracket in the instrument panel up through the fire wall a small
change in direction and onto the carburetors. There is almost no friction as
there is very little change in direction of the cables. I have used fire retardant
sealing for the cables as they go through the fire wall. Have I missed
something here, or is there some good reason why you put almost 360 degrees change
of direction in the cables?

Hi Rowland
To make you feel less lonely, I have Nev's cowls, 912S and a Woodcomp 3000 with
Scimitar blades. Unfortunately I'm a long way off fitting them all!
