Team

Who deals with The Europa Rescue Service ? If it is

Rowland please make me down as willilng to help.

However - the main point of this mail is to make the

following announcement.

I have started to collect a few spares for my aircraft.

When I go to the US (twice a year) I normally bring some

stuff back. Pricing is "different" to the Europa/SkyDrive

pricing 

At present I have

Oil Pressure Sender

A pair of rubber carburettor mounts with the sealing rings

A Ducati Rectifier/Regulator

As these are spares rather than consumables I am willing

to offer them to anyone who is in need and we would split

the difference between the cost from the US and the cost

from the UK. I would then replace.

Does anyone have any ideas for other small but valuable

items that I could add to the list ?

For example plugs and filters would not be sensible as

they are almost as much in the US as in the UK.

I would also take orders for stuff like captive nuts or AN

bolts, at least three weeks before a trip (next planned

first week of March)

Any comments or suggestions (polite only please !)

Starter motor spragg clutch!

Which is substantially cheaper in the US, but equally a substantial

investment to have sitting on a shelf (and assuming that Rotax don't find a

better item in the interim).

The whole business of the cost of spares etc is getting ridiculous. Just a

couple of comments following recent correspondence. In u.k. the ubiquitous

5mm SS bolts and nuts, ditto rivets - all can be purchased at places like

Screwfix or Wentin Fasteners at about 1/10th Europa prices. Send for a catalogue.

Similarly a set of 8 standard spark plugs from a good motor cycle dealer are

no more than =A321 as oppose to something like =A310.50 EACH from Europa.

Its like buying a computer printer very cheap and then being ripped off for

the consumables.

Hear, hear, Richard. I'm time-poor, too, so the convenience of Europa helps.

And I'll always remember the time Damon Hill nearly won a Grand Prix in an

Arrows, and it would have been a deserved win rather than a fluke handed to

him on a plate, but a 50p component let him down on the last lap...

Fair comment Richard and Jeremy but I have had the components examined by an

engineering company (in the family!) and their conclusion is that a

stainless steel bolt is a stainless steel bolt is a stainless steel bolt. etc!

Didn't know Screwfix or Wentin Fasteners built aeroplanes, what page are

they on in the Screwfix Catalogue?

O.K. Trev I know when I am having my wrist slapped! But it is a serious

issue and I for one cannot afford to buy a pound of butter at Fortnum and Mason

when I can get the identical stuff at Tesco for half the price.

While I support Europa as much as feasible, living across the pond makes

buying small stuff very inconvenient, therefore, I buy common AC

hardware, spark plugs, oil filters, etc, from ACS or some other

convenient supplier. When it comes to other things, like, say door

struts (which can actually be had here, in the States), I buy from

Europa. In these cases, they are convenient to deal with and they ship

at very reasonable prices.

Best wishes to the folks at Europa 2004. Hope you're around for a long

time...

I promised to pay 35 pounds per year to EMIL for the maintenance of 

technical support when I bought the kit.

I consider an average extra yearly cost of this amount as a result of 

buying from Europa(2004) perfectly reasonable.
