The earlier model fuel pumps have pressed together bodies; later are screwed together and have an oil drain on the underside of the pushrod body; attached picture is of later model fitted. Read this
After pulling out the last of the instrument panel sections to flip the trim switch upside down and finish giving all the aircrafts electrical terminals a safety assessment the plane and I went for a
Correct Chris; thats the one... very rugged and capable STOL performer.. its a challenge to fly together as both aircraft are operating close to opposite ends of the envelope. The europa really needs
