You are in the position that I hoped to be someday. After 10 years and 1000
kits sold , I was expecting that I would now be building mine. At least I am
only out my deposit. Now if I can figure out a way to deduct my loss from my
income tax. I have enjoyed your web site.

Subject: Europa-List: Exhaust angle

> I would also like the exhaust to go straight back for drag reasons, but
the evolution of operating the airplane has led to its current angle - quite
down oriented. Ease of removing the lower cowl plus mainly keeping exhaust
fumes away from the cockpit and the wing are the main reasons for the angle.
I have thought of welding a section on the aft of the exhaust to form a
fairing shape, but in reality I would never see the results in operation.
Sometimes you just have to get the thing into the air. It is way more fun to
fly it with the draggy exhaust than it is to stand there looking at it on
the ground while pondering all the ways to make it go 0.1 knot faster!
