Looks very nice Fred! Where have you mounted the radiators?
One thing to watch when you start flying is the temperature of the exhaust from the cowling, you don't want it too hot or it will wrinkle the fuselage skins. Depends how well cured the mouldings are but some of the earlier ones wrinkled in sunlight.

Out of the cradle (and into a walker?).....The babes growing!
Good time to tip back a bottle or two to bask in the progress. Whoop whoop!

Cheers,
Respecting Fred Klein’s release of Ms. Europa from her cradle, may I note that (for anyone building within 300 miles of Burlington ON Canada), I have just moved all the parts for a Europa cradle from behind the rec.-room sofa and am hopeful I have no more need for same. This constitutes a full-length cradle of 2x4 lengths holding 5/8” plywood compartments, per an early club design, is easily transported (will deliver to save my marriage), quickly re-erected and simply stored.
Line up, and offer me a beer.

Thank you Graham...I hold your opinions in very high regard...

See attached pixs...twin 125 x 250 x 40mm thick rads flank the PSRU; air entering the round inlets is routed thru internal ducting for (hopefully) non-turbulent flow til it exits thru the gills along the side of the cowl. Note that the exit gill is partitioned to also provide an exit path for air circulation under the cowl...the pix shows an oversized remote oil filter (finned for a bit of cooling) on the stbd side.

Good point. I have used a 350 degree F. high-temp resin for my cowls and the portion of the fairing which attaches to the LG arm. The exhaust pipe extends 55mm beyond the adjacent FG at a minimum, which I've thought would be satisfactory...frankly, I haven't given any thought to the effects of exhaust temps on the fuselage skins. (I judged the condition to be comparable to that of the stock XS installation.) Please enlighten me as to why you would think this may be a concern...(?).
I do appreciate your expressing your concerns...please continue to do so, as I've entered into a realm of considerable novelty where I'm guided more by intuition than technical knowledge and experience.
Fred
