David,
If you were supplied with a Europa XS engine frame then no it is not feasible.
The engine frame extends the cowls two inches forward. The XS cowls also have a different cooling system which allows for your oil and water radiators sent by Europa.
Would like to buy the Classic cowls however delivery to NZ would too expensive.
Cheers,
Tim

Having been totally absorbed running an engineering business for the last 30 years, building my 'plane came last in the priorities. Finally I have more time and am making good progress, but I do have a few dumb questions that others asked 15+ years back.

The XS engine mount is different allowing the engine to sit higher for more prop clearance. The oil and water radiators are located below the engine. I think you would need the XS style cowlings.

Thank Tim & Martin.
I have now put my Classic top cowl in place, and it is a lot shorter.
Decision made!
The improved prop clearance will be welcome too.
Does anyone need Classic cowls?
Does anyone have a set of XS cowls?

Good to see you are making progress Dave. The XS engine frame makes the engine sit 1" further forward and 2" higher and will not work with the "classic" cowls........I'v already researched this as you know i too have the classic.If you have to buy new cowlings try Neville Eyre's as they have bigger air in takes and baffles to direct and slow down the air.
