When I was holding a =BC=94 drill bit in the TP13 bushing on the tailplane, to see how the bushing lined up with the torque tube pin, I let go of it, and =91whoosh-thunk=92 -it disappeared into the t
Is it possible that the engine was run hard, and one cylinder got hotter than the other (due to carbon buildup, etc)? In the troublehooting section for the 914 Rotax manual, it states that a hot engi
Has anyone used Aeropoxy 6228 exclusively for their plane? For example, no Araldite 420 at all? If so, how has it turned out, for things such as the tailplane torque tube bushings? Thanks in advance,
Looks like this thread has died down, so.. Thankyou Brian and Nev. This is good information. Nev, the description on your test results was refreshingly invaluable. It is info that is hard to come by.
Jim, Brian, and all US Araldite purchasers, I am currently looking into purchasing from at least 5 different places in the states, including Huntsman and Graco. More later, but it might be a little w
Due to the increase in the fuselage/door mod width, has anyone seen a drop in airspeed? Or is the change not enough to make a difference? Obviously, the pro's are a wider cockpit which will make the

Except the wheel will allow movement in one axis, while the bowling ball allows movement in two axis. If you are thinking that the big moment arm of the tail section hanging out in a high wind could
It doesn't hurt to have more than one way to present the list. We can pick and choose which presentation to use. I do not have any problems reading the mod 73 listings, using MS Outlook. Maybe it is
Raimo, That sure is a beautiful looking bird, you must be proud. Up there near the polar circle, you might need that darkness to keep the belly from getting too cold! Regards, Greg _____ From: owner-
If you have the space, you could have a few long tables, the type that are leg-foldable, close by to your workbench. When you need to move the wing off the bench, you just slide it over, and let the
Since this is a hot topic right now, here is my input for the Europaprecision thread (my view only): Although there are areas for improvement, I will never expect everything in a kit as complex as th
Jos, Thanks for the comment and picture link. I seem to have the orientation of the brackets ok (the holes drilled into the bracket are in the same spot as in your pictures), and have trial fitted th
Thanks Jos, I will measure the squareness of the brackets, and will report my findings. I tried to get them vertical with respect to the ground, but they may be out by a small amount, or I might have
First of all, thanks for all the comments so far. I just measured the distance between the two top outboard edges of the cockpit bellcrank bracket, and compared that with the bottom two. If they were
Thanks Kevin, It is good to hear of a few others seeing this too. It looks like I chose a familiar fix-it route, thanks for the confirmation. Regards, Greg Sounds like you have it figured out. The br
