A quick question from a Europa wannabe:
With the levers in the tunnel not sealed (?), is there not a risk of engine
compartment air entering the cabin? Is this not a concern? Or is it just an
esthetic odour issue (ie: oil smell)?
Are the cold-weather flyers out there finding their throttle hand not
getting a little cool on those -25C flying days?
Thanks,
Pete

Don't forget that the flap lever slot vents to fresh air. I think that is
where my vented air must go. Certainly the side vents work well and I have
not experienced being too hot in G BYSA yet.
Incidentally, I am finding the XS cooling system with the 912s. more than
adequate as well. Perhaps too adequate in cold weather.
If we ever have a proper summer in the UK I may have to rewrite this.
