Hey Guys,
Back in January I spoke with Jim McCormick of Jabiru Pacific regarding some
rubber goods for my 3300. Off hand he mentioned that he has access to the
molds Andy Silvester used to have the Jabiru/Europa cowls made that I
purchased from Andy back in 2005. IIRC, the guy who has the mold and made the
cowls is a boat builder in Canada. I met him briefly when I picked up my
engine from Andy, but I don't recall his name.
Anyway, Jim told me that if there was enough interest he would consider
offering cowls and a FWF kit for the Europa. I sent him a disk with info
regarding my FWF and told him I thought there would probably be significant
interest if someone were to offer a Jabiru FWF for the Europa.
FWIW, I'm very pleased with my cowls. I have had to make a few minor
modifications to the lower cowl to get the engine to run cool in climb, but
otherwise I'm very pleased with the cowl set. The quality is excellent and I
really like the looks of the longer cowling. Incidentally, my Europa has been
mistakenly identified as a Lancair on several occasions now by other pilots
at various places I've visited.
Regards,
John Lawton
