> Hi All;
> I'm proud to report that kit A212, a Mono wheel XS with 914 engine and
Airmaster prop flew into the air in Phoenix, Arizona during a sweltering 103
degrees.
>
> N914PB has one of the first diferential fuel pressure gauges and turbo
intercooler supplied by Europa installed. They both worked very well.
>
> Kim Prout (West Coast distributor for Europa) was at the controls and did
2 circuits around the field. There was an 11mph crosswind which was 30
degrees off the nose. The flight went perfectly except oil pressure was at
238 degrees and climbing (even in throttled back, level flight) and the
airspeed indicator stuck at 55 knots. The water temperature held steady at
227 degrees.

> Thanks to all that made this 3 1/2 year build project a reality. Special
thanks to Phoenix Composites that helped with so much of the build and
thanks to my wife for letting me indulge in this wonderful hobby.
