I think Tim is doing a fantastic job and we should do our best to take him up on his very generous offer. Tim - how about those of us living in the West Country i.e. Somerset for me? - How near can w
I have not found any problems with Europa 2004, in fact quite the contrary. I have had a few problems recently which needed various spare parts to resolve and have found that the service received has
No, but I would be interested to hear if you are having problems with the regulator. I have an indicated nil charge and (referring to the wiring diagram) have only 5 connections to attach to the 6 sp

Brian - yes I know which wires (from the alt) go to G and G (presumably generator, ) and the two, I think judging by the wire gauge, to R and +B. I seem to be missing the one which connects to L and

A product I have used with great success on my boat is Boeshield T9 It =99s like WD40 with added wax which is left behind after the carrier has evaporated. Fantastic for lubricating and rust preventi
All the recent correspondence following the tragedy at Oshkosh seems to point to a basic instability with the Europa. Is this inherent in the design or due to building errors? Trimming ailerons to ac
I have just received a Rotax service bulletin requiring a crank case inspection for cracks(presumably following the one case reported on this site so far), and am not sure where to look next. I have
