AIL December 2017 All Europas As I explained in an earlier e-mail, there is no LAA Standard Mod to fit an aluminium elbow on an XS Europa. As nobody has applied for a standard Mod I have agreed with Andy Draper that I will do so. It will be based on Tim Ward's aluminium elbow and will use Samco Profuel joints. These can be purchased from www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk in a short length of 76mm for UK Pounds 11.24 plus VAT and postage. Currently there is a 39 day lead time on this item. Part number PSCH51-BLU I will give you a progress report after Christmas.

I have just inspected mine and whilst the inside looked perfect the fuel tank end was noticeably soft compared to the top section. I intend to replace it with aluminium as per Standard Mod 13070.

Duncan - first, apologies for having apparently ignored your request for so long. Google has suddenly started treating many of my incoming innocent messages as spam and I only just realised this (I normally check about once a month to make sure it hasnt deleted any important stuff, but I will have to be ore diligent until it learns better habits). Yes, the one that was on the Club CD included a result column showing CAS/RAS, based on the other data collected during the test flight.

I have taken too long of a vacation from building and going to get back into it. Last I left off I was getting the finger brakes ready. Since my kit is a mono wheel conversion I don't have F28 & F29 for the 'shelf' that the master cylinders rest on. Does anyone have these for sale? I like the idea of working on the brakes from above vs creating an access panel from below. I'm sure I can order them from Europa but at a premium (US costs).
