Hello to you all

I'm well progressing on my way to importing an Europa "classic" from the USA.

I have had a few chats with the ppl in charge of inspections of amateur-built aircrafts at Transport Canada (http://www.md-ra.com) about their requirement for the firewall be made of a "fireproof material", like stainless or galvanized steel.

However, he also stated that I could use any other material that has been used on any other Canada-airworthy Europa ! 

So, the question to all CANADIAN Europa owners: what is your Europa firewall made of ?

Also, do all the Canadian Europas have carb heat on their Rotax  engines ?  If so, which origin ?  My 912 currently does not have one...

Regards,

Luc

Hi Luc,
I have some data from the UK that satisfied transport with regard to the firewall.
All the Canadian registered Europas have been approved with the composite material, so it should not be a problem.
You will need to install a carb heat system, the antiquated regulations call for a system that introduces hot air into the carbs,
however eventually I got an approval for the Skydrive system that uses coolant to heat the carb body, so again transport should be
fine with this. I would recommend that you get a local Rotax dealer to install the unit for you.
