Hi Friends and Folks



Just to let you know: Did the first engine start today. No leaks, no smoke, nothing wrong really. Did all the Rotax recommended oil priming, and it started on less then a half rotation of the prop. And that by 6 C outside temperature. Boy, this feels good, now i have to put the brakes on myself not to hurry to finish the hundreds of things still to do before first flight. But it won't be long!

I'll put some pictures on http://www.europaowners.org/kit600 later today. 



Regards,



Jos Okhuijsen

Raimo

Congratulations and may your first flight go well.

Just a thought, the Europa mono is not the same as any other airplane 

when it's on the ground and moving. You would be wise to be sure that 

the first flight pilot is current on type. You need to remember that if 

anything is not quite right only a current pilot will see it quickly 

enough to avoid a mishap. Even a broken prop is expensive.

I think those people (me too!) whose

first flights are near by do have hot,

red and short nerves. That must be

understandable and a part of human nature.



It is a battle and we wanna win.



We defend hard our final solutions and that is a must:

our life and health is hanging from them. We must 

trust them. If not - who is the pilot?



It is so stimulating to really realize: I am soon in the air

flying a plane builded my myself and that is a real

world - not a dream or movie.



(6% of the fatal accidents are the first flight accidents, they say)

Graham,



Thank you for your message.

The Europa and the MCR happen to use the same power plants, and their 

performance is in the same ballpark.

I learnt a lot from the contributions of Europa builders on the 

installation and operation of their Rotax 91X units, and this somehow 

prompted me to investigate into the cooling and electrical redundancy 

for the Rotax 914.

I have the feeling that sharing informations on power plant installation 

may benefit to every builder with the same type of engine.



Best regards,

Gilles
