I remember my tunnel was confusingly marked. I think it was the hatched one. The logic is can you get a spanner on to the pulley nut via the hole. Something to think about is the need to make removab
John, Danny What John has said is correct. There are at least two mods covering Graham's firewall. I have, in the past, chased PFA to get one of these turned into a standard mod but with no results.
All the paperwork is done for the Skydrive Carb heaters to be a standard mod. I will send you a copy off list. I first submitted them in 2005 (in conjunction with Skydrive) and they just sat on Franc
Ron In 250 hour flown in the UK never any sign of carb ice and we have flown all winter. So, as I have read elsewhere, no need for carb heaters. Same experience with G-IRON. Ian Rickard G-IANI XS Tri
Roland "Anyone see any reason why I shouldn't put a layer of BID on the "weather" side of that bulkhead? I certainly don't want to leave a raw piece of ply open to everything the wheel will throw up.

Frans Karl has made reference to my vent mod. I have tidied up the documentation a little and it is attached. I do not suggest it is the right solution rather an experiment. So far I have not made th

Frans provided that the stern post is a low pressure area indeed. I'm going to try this, if it doesn't work very well I have not made any modification to the exterior of the airplane, so I can easily
That a Europa needs more leg room, not head room, is a conclusion I came to some years ago. I also concluded that lowering the position of your heals helped. To do this I have LAA Mod 10665 (which is
