Looks fantastic; the last rally I made it to was Cranfield 10 years ago (PFA days)! And my Europa has never met another Europa. Richard, Kenya Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com

I have these Aircraft Spruce snapvents in my Europa classic in Kenya. One in each side window (door). Roughly level with my head, slightly down. They work a treat, by adjusting you can get air flowin

Daniel, Yes, the brown tinted glass. The snapvents are clear, but you wouldn't notice the difference when they are in. By rotating them relative to the airflow, you can get one side to suck, the othe

There was a thread about this about 8 months ago. I had blistering on the tail surfaces of my classic, after fitting covers. I understand that if these get wet, and stay wet, there is every chance of

Gordon, I havn't seen a solution to this. On mine, it is only a couple of blisters on tail surfaces, I have just left them. Might suggest you contact Roger Targett in Gloucestershire, he is the exper

Does anyone know of any Europas in Russia? I am in Moscow a lot these days, and maybe there's a kindred spirit out there. I remember a map on Ivan Shaw's wall in Kirkbymoorside in 1994, stuck with pi

Hi Kingsley and Fred, I would like to try a couple of your eccentric OR10s. But you are in Australia aren't you? Might be hard to get those to Kenya, but I have a UK intermediate address. Best Richar

Thanks Fred, I can pay you by Western Union, when you are ready. I think for all of us fitting these to completed/ flying Europas, it will be essential to jack the plane up and do quite a few retract
