Michael,
The server fro my WEB site resides in Australia. I'll check with the guys
on Monday if its still not up. As far as your question goes I'd have to
troll through my hard copy but I seem to recall about 1/4 of a tin per
wing,maybe a little more.
One trap I found was that the flox dries out the mix when you let it stand,
so don't get too carried away with how much flox you add. I applied mine
with an empty calking compound tube & gun which was 10 times easier than
hand spreading the stuff.
I don't want to lead you astray but I would have no problem in using post
dated stuff because the two compounds are chemically inert until mixed, I
invite you to do you own research on this.

Paul,
I just tried to access your website but can't get to it. I hope you are
not shutting it down for good. It is a great resource for other builders
like me.
Actually I was looking for the information on how much Redux you have used
for closing one wing. I am finally getting there after concentrating more on
the fuselage before. (I built out of sequence.) I have about a 1/2 can of
the yellow paste left. Originally I thought to substitute with the stuff
---From Aeropoxy but after the recent postings I do not want to mess with the
wine skin anymore. I suspect a lot of flexing and sheering forces on the
wings.

Hi,
If you take a look at http://europa363.versadev.com/ under January 2004
you can see a few pictures of what I did. I re routed one of the oil hoses
to run on the port side of the motor, across the back of the engine mount
and up into the oil container. I used Teflon braided Aeroquip 666 hose.
So far this has held up fine for 600 hours.

So... Has anyone got a satisfactory solution to this design
disaster??

Your timely warning reminds me of a similar but different problem
found on my 912ULS at last permit renewal. One of the coolant pipes was
found to be burnt by an exhaust downpipe. The damage was confined to the
heat shielding which had burnt right through and was about to burn through
the rubber hose. Basically, the hose routing was too close to the downpipe -
a previous owner had wrapped it up with heat shielding to compensate. An
extra reason why this was alarming was that a 912-engined DynAir Banbi in
the same hanger had recently suffered a complete loss of coolant through an
identical problem (the owner lived to tell the tale but had his wallet
lightened by an expensive engine rebuild). I believe Mike Gregory has some
gory photos of the damage.
Happy flying

Hi Guys,
For all Europa owners with Rotax 914.
Just preparing to incorporate Mod 72 and took the opportunity to have
a good look around. I found one of the oil pipes badly charred by No1
cylinder exhaust pipe. The pipe concerned is the one that connects the oil
cooler to the oil pump. Fortunately, when I installed the pipe I fitted some
heat shielding from 'Demon Tweaks' - the heat shield was burned through and
the pipe was just starting to be affected.
On initial installation the pipe did not touch the exhaust, so the
bend must have eased during use.
Looking at the installation, it seems that a slightly shorter pipe
after the bend where it connects to the oil pump should solve the problem.
Hopefully, this is a one off and my aircraft is the only one affected.
But I thought all you chaps might like to know. It is worth a quick
look - a burst oil pipe in this position could be very dangerous.
Kind regards,
