The original cowling was designed for the Rotax, which was the engine of ch
oice for the original airplane.=C2- I also have a Jab. and have the Jab.
FWF kit.=C2- Trying to modify the original cowling to fit the Jab. would
be a very extensive project.=C2- By far, your best bet is going to be to
use the Jab. kit.=C2- For starters, the Jab. is a bit longer than the Rot
ax and you would need to account for that, as well as the vastly different
cooling.=C2- Your best sources will be Bud or John Lawton.=C2-

Subject: Europa-List: Cowl Question?
Dear Europa List ,
I have a question for the Europa List. =C2-I have attached a picture of o
ur original Europa Classic cowl (rotax) and naturally it doesn't mate up wi
th the Jab3300. =C2-With this in mind has anybody out there in Experiment
al Europa/Jabiru land modified the original cowl to fit the JAB? =C2-I ha
ve pictures of John Lawton's Europa =C2-N245E and I assume the cowling ca
me from Jabiru USA ? =C2-And of course looks fantastic, however, I find t
he original look of the Europa intriquing and full of "english" personality
! =C2-I like its big nose and hedgehog charm.
I just thought I would check to see if it had been done. =C2-It would tak
e a great deal of modification to the air inlets and a quite a curvey nacel
le =C2-would have to be fabricated to make it work: =C2-And of course t
his brings up issues with proper airflow and cooling of the equipment. =C2
-So far with our current JAB we have had to wrestle with some cooling iss
ues and it seems that cowl design can be a fairly prickly issue...a black a
rt for me at least.
Thanks for your time and consideration, Cheers!
