Eruopaphiles,
I appreciate the very positive response to my suggestion.
I will do my best to collect subcontractor information as it is
presented to me on or off the web. I will also try to gather names and
e-mails for anyone who needs parts.
I also see that Steve D has added a subcontractors list to The Europa
Forum. Thanks Steve. Perhaps you could add a place where folks could
add their contact info and a list of parts owed?
I have dropped an e-mail to L P Aero concerning Plexi. I will follow
up later today with a phone call. When I have any information, I will
post it to The Digest..
We'll get through this mess if we all work together.
Personally, I'm not in that bad a shape from a parts availability
standpoint. Europa owes me Plexi, Airmaster C/S Prop & Controller, 2nd
alternator, trailer and interior kit. Only the plexi presently can't
be 2nd sourced. The rest is only $$$$$$ (or or sorry don't have
a Euro symbol right now).
Speaking of props... I have been in touch with Mr. Martin Eskildsen,
General Manager at Airmaster and they have offered to provide props at
a 20% discount for those who have ordered, paid for and not had a prop
delivered through Europa.
If other subcontractors are willing to provide similar support to L P
Aero Plastics and Airmaster we may be able to get through this.
Gotta get back to fitting the tie bar (page 27-8 Step 10).
Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
