     hello all,
     
        Using a key activated ignition switch is probably safer than 
     switches, easier to assemble in the panel (one hole instead of three) 
     and keeps the wiring a shade simpler. Disadvantages are they cost 
     more- its our money!. 
     
        Martin asked about aileron and flap closeouts. The europa closeouts 
     are identical to the Slingsby T67 ones, in which Barry Mellors had 
     more than a slight hand. They have probably been decided as providing 
     the optimum strength for these particular areas, eg as end ribs. To 
     fill them in and glass them flat is probably a viable option but the 
     T67 is very aerobatic and so is the europa,so I wouldnt rush into 
     filling them and adding extra weight to these surfaces. Also the 
     inboard flap closeouts are extended after connecting them to FL15 
     later in the build.
     
        Richard; Fuel sender,where's the bend ? Should it be at the top, a 
     sort of flattened question-mark shape ??? - thanks in antip.
