Hello Terry,
Congratulations for your web site it is very interesting.
Why you don't used a carburetor cups I think it is good for safety if
unleaded run up to the carb. If you are interested I have drawings for
cups mod (because skydrive heater)and many others mods drawings.

Do you have drawings of your monowheel gear leg support stand?

Hi Jim,

After the tailplanes have been painted, some of the mass balance weight 
has to be cut off.  Some people have cut their weights into many pieces 
of varying size/weight, and then iteratively tried combinations until 
the tailplanes balanced.
We used a more deterministic method, which only required a single cut to

get good balance.  The procedure can be found in our 'Europa Mods and 
Building Tips', a copy of which can be seen at:
http://terryseaver.home.comcast.net/europa_page.html
entitled 'Tailplane mass balance procedure'

regards,
Terry Seaver
