In reply:- I am not a fully certified aircraft engineer, but I am an 
extremely involved person.  Does Mr Barraclough not realise that the 
Europa is the only kit that is issuing mods free of charge, perhaps he 
would like everything done for nothing, and then Ivan would end up 
bankcrupt and nobody would be flying the lovely Europa.  I cannot blame 
Ivan for aiming for perfection, and not a 'heath robinson' job, because 
at the end of the day, we all want to feel proud of our planes.
