Still have the paper pattern.

Graemekudos for your success with an economical solution to
this issue. I too consider myself a frugal guy, and had always in my
mind to stitch up something myself. But as I found so many last minute
things to dothe closer I came to making one, the more concerned
I became about durability, waterproof=99g, and potential abrasion
of the plexiglass (i.e., perspec)and ultimately decided that
after investing so much effort and $ in the aircraft I could justify the
additional expense of buying one, particularly since my hangaring
situation is uncertain.

Hello Rick,
I'm sorry to hear about your accident and also wish you a speedy recovery from
your injuries.
I find it frightening, that the occupants get trapped in the cockpit when the Europa
flips over. In one of the last issues of the Europa Flyer there was also
a report of a forced landing of a Europa Trigear with subsequent flip over after
an engine failure and the pilot also at least had his difficulties with escaping
the cockpit. I assume it's a similar problem with all low wing aircraft,
the Europa maybe even slightly better with the gull-wing doors compared to a
one piece canopy.
Regards
Roland

I also offer my best wishes for a speedy recovery, and condolences on your plane.
Wrt to in ted egress, i was planning on making the hinge pins removable with the
pull of a handle (on cables). I have the same feature on my lil hummelbird to
be able to bail.
Regards,
Pete

I talked to Rick Friday evening. He is home and recovering from cracked vertebra
and rib and burns from leaking fuel. He expects to be back at work in a few
weeks.
He commented that the rescue crew was concerned that they didnt know where the
battery was located to disconnect it. It might be a good idea to placard that
on our airplanes. They also had difficulty getting him out and wouldnt use their
electrically powered saws because of the fuel leak. Instead they used hammers
and axes to cut open the fuselage. He related that the seat belt webbing
broke which was a good thing since it allowed his body to lay across the center
console and into the passenger seat avoiding being crushed.
