If I read this correctly I do need need the bulkhead. Does the stainless steel
plating around the nose mount stop the air from going down the tunnel area?
I would think that the air is not stopped. I'm wondering if there will be
smells

} Hi Phillip,
I have followed up your enquiry re the bulkhead on Tri Gear Europas with Roger
Bull at the factory. It would seem there has been a bit of lack of joined up
action.
You are quite right to notice the issue of the instruction in the Europa
Aircraft
News. At the time it was issued as a structural requirement for Tri Gears
only. Subsequent analysis by Barry Mellors at the then PFA now LAA has shown
that this bulkhead is not necessary. This is why it never appeared in the
manual.
Unfortunately the factory failed to issue any notice to this effect and
hence your query.
I hope this helps

This was mentioned in the Tech Talk part of 'Europa Aircraft News' from Dec.
1999 (Issue No.24). Has still not been added to the manual as far as I can see.
I built it in before bonding in the Cockpit Module (tricky to do after bonding
I think...), i.e. it should probably be part of Ch.17. I first measured the
actual
sizes that would be needed then cut and trimed (the ply) to fit 'exactly'.
Have attached a photo of the page (can send the original to anyone who
wants/needs
it).

I have found one drawing of the front bulkhead that shows two pieces cut to 260
x 260x3mm, but my opening is larger and I can't find what chapter it addresses
this bulkhead.
