Tony, Presumably you are replacing a standard Europa non heated one,
which has served you up to this point. Why not simply use the same
orientation?

I know it is =98Old Hat=99 nowadays but it was still a great
experience for me. . . .
On Thursday morning last, I conducted the first flight of Classic Mono
VH-CUA from my home at Gatton Airpark in Queensland Australia.
The 45 minute flight was one of sheer enjoyment so to reiterate the
advice of many others before me, I=99d just like to say to those
still doing what I have been doing for so long . . . . keep at it, the
reward is worth it!
In anticipation of possibly having to do surgery to accommodate our hot
conditions, I have not yet painted the engine cowlings or applied any
pin striping but as things progress, those items will be forthcoming.
The main wheel fairing and outrigger fairings were left at home for the
first flight too.
Attached photo was taken from the chase plane while comparing indicated
airspeeds.
If interested, an abridged version of the flight can be seen at

Kingsley, flying an aircraft which you built yourself is an experience which is
hard to beat. From what I can see in the photo, it looks like you have the Classic
cowlings with the tailpipe of the double silencer poking out underneath.
This leads me to think that you have the 912UL installed, which is just fine
for most purposes, especially in a mono.
In your climate, if you decide to install the 100hp 'S' then cooling could become
an issue, as I discovered. Some folk in this cooler part of the world have
managed to overcome cooling problems arising from 100hp in a Classic cowling,
but I resorted to a complete firewall forward refit with cowlings more capable
of proper cooling.
May you have many years of enjoyment!

Kingsley, Many congratulations! (Both personal and on behalf of the
club). When you have got time it would be good to have an account of the
high an low spots of the build process and the flying to go in the
Europa Flyer.

| Subject: | Re: Alignment of pitot tube |
Thanks David,
This is the initial installation as the aircraft has not flown yet. The way I see
it I could make the pitot tube parallel to:
1) the Chord Line
2) the bottom wing (not sure if they are the same) or
3) the flight path
Am I overthinking this?
Many thanks
Tony
