Hi Cliff, Europa Flyer man here. We've just finished 'Flying For Fun' in
the UK (the old Popular Flying Magazine rally'. If you get any nice pics at
Arlington, they'd be appreciated for the magazine.
Thanks and regards

Subject: Re: Europa-List: Wing root fairings

That is what I found when I put my fairing on. I used a hot-air gun to
soften the fairing . Then pushed and held it till it cooled down. Then slid
the wing back in place to see how it fit - and repeated over and over. I
never did get it to a point I would call perfect. My port fairing seems to
be still flared out a little after 2 years.
Arlington Air-Show starts Wednesday, I hoping to see lots of Europa people
there again this year.
Good luck and hurry up and get it flying. I remember when you started, back
when I was helping Bob build "Beep Beep"
