I recognise those wing stands Simon. Yes, they are functional but I think Clive's are far more elegant. Hope your build is going well :) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewt
Graeme, If I was in your situation I'd be looking at this new prop from Duc. Looks like they've thought about the design and have done a fair bit of computer analysis on it. It claims to have a 'Cons
Well spotted Richard. Definitely worth talking to Duc about the possibility though. I've been running a Duc Windspoon on another aircraft and am very happy with it and don't know of any problems with
Hello everyone, After a few years playing with another type of 'Euro' aircraft, I'm now helping someone with their Tri-Gear kit. I'm doing an inventory and of course have got a load of out of date Am
Does anyone in the midlands / south east of the UK have a Europa trailer (mono / tri, open / closed) that they could help move a Europa kit with? It needs to move from St Albans to Huntingdon. When I
Thanks for the picture Bill - yes a 7.5T truck seems to work very well. It's an option if we can't find a dedicated trailer. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=4
Tony, just out of interest, when were the control surfaces laid up? I remember having a conversation with Andy Draper about this and I've just read the Gurit 'Guide to Composites'. As I understand it
Ah! So does it mean that the 'Tg' is essentially room temperature unless you post cure it and raise it to a higher figure? Does that also mean that unused control surfaces that are 19 years old shoul

Hi, I'm looking for all the parts to make a complete XS tailwheel assembly. I ideally want new, unused parts - does anyone have any bits lying around that they'd like to sell? Thanks, Phil Read this

A quick question for tri-gear owners. Do you lower your flaps by holding your finger down on the flap switch until the motor drives the flaps to the correct setting? Or Do you have a clever switch th
Has anyone had corrosion on their tri-gear main legs? If so, how much is too much? If there was some pitting after the corrosion was cleaned off, could this be ground away or would the leg be scrap?
Further to this - used parts in good condition would be fine too. Anyone got a used but unwanted tail spring and tailwheel fork in good condition? Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics
