John,
You remember perhaps that we had some e-mail exchanges concerning the PFA
certification of your Trutrak installation? I received from you the drawings
and explanation but the PFA approval itself was missing. I also know that it
is linked to your aircraft but I am not a PFA member, nor I need their
approval for my Europa F-PKRL. The french administration asks for "an
approval" and then they will see if my construction conforms to it. They
even will check the correspondence I had thereabout.
So can you mail me the PFA document approving your installation?
In the attachment you can see some photographs of my installation. (taken in
september 2002)
The finnishing of F-PKRL was stopped in may last year because I had the
opportunity to build a hangar (30' x 40') for my hobby. Then we also were
busy  with the OO-145 which you have seen in Kemble where we met in july.
Best wishes from Belgium.
