200 AMPS!!! Are you using 7.5kW xenon searchlight lamps for illumination?
I know its a little cooler at the beach than where I am but you certainly
can't be contemplating heating your shop electrically (heck, if you actually
use all that power you'll need a/c instead just to overcome the waste heat).
But seriously, whatever are you contemplating?
I hope that nice new white floor is NOT in your soon to be Europa workshop.
My (plain old concrete) garage, er, workshop floor is looking so shabby
after countless epoxy drippings that I need to do something to improve its
looks once the project is completed. It no longer looks good enough to park
cars on it. At least with the monowheel you won't be using Bondo to hold
fixturing (for the main gear installation) to the concrete - that left two
large "dimples" where the Bondo bonded much better than the Europa manual
suggests.
As for passing time until March, I've got this mostly complete XS Tri-Gear
in my "hanger" in Irvine, and you are welcome to hone your building skills
anytime you'd like.
Best regards,

Hi all;
It seems a long time ago that I put my deposit/order in for my new monowheel
XS kit. It was November after I attended the workshop out in Corona,
California taught by Kim Prout.
Since then I've put in a beautiful, gleaming white floor (by Hard Deck
Coatings), have installed a new 200 amp panel, have installed additional
light circuits and finally installed additional electrical circuits.
I've been accumulating tools mostly off of E-bay. The ones I have left to
buy are a mystery to me...no idea what they are by the name on the tool list
given me. I trust it'll become more apparent what I need once I actually
start building.
Any ideas on what I might do to pass the time awaiting my March arrival of
my "newborn"??
Enjoying this web site....have printed out many letters describing solutions
to certain problem procedures. Thanks to all...hope to meet you in the
upcoming months and years
