Ferg,
It will get worse.
I've been sitting at the airport for the last 2 months waiting for the
MD-RA to allow me the privilege of a temporary C of A.
At the moment they are questioning the phenolic firewall material that
forms part of the fuselage, and the use of the Skydrive carb heat system.
If there are any Canadian registered 912S powered Europas using Skydrive
or similar, I would appreciate hearing from them, or from anyone else who
can confirm the efficacy of the system.
Now with regard to your stainless steel firewall, you should not have let
me have Graham's phenolic one. It works great, and I just don't see how
anyone ever got the stainless cut outs to fit well.
In a rather depressed mood

Subject: Europa-List: Stainless steel Firewall
Cheers,
I diligently fabricated the subject sheets according to the
diagrams
in the book, bending the edges as per the pictures and accurately siting
the
attachment holes. ........and most of it went together pretty well (not
too
many scratches and rims neatly filed for safety) - but not on the
engine
frame!
I'm having the darnest time trying to fit the starboard side
panel,
feeding it through the spaces past the rudder flanges and attempting to
fiddle it past the bottom frame ends. All the others will doubtless fall
in
place.
Are there magic incantations to be said, or strange powder to be
strewed in strategic places? If not, I'm in a bad spell here at
Belli Acres.
Happy landings (mine are getting further away all the time),
Ferg
