Hi Robert
The 2 extra bits of frame, one either side, were an early mod and
should
have been welded in place. I did hear that some builders who had
already
installed the frame in the fuselage used Redux to fit the extra
supports.
If yours have been Reduxed then heating with a hot air gun or small gas
torch will soften the glue and allow removal.
Regards
Pete

Subject: Europa-List: Landing Gear Frame
I am checking over the landing gear after a heavy landing and one of
the
supports in the Landing Gear Frame appears to have a slight and small
crack.
Although it still attached to the frame. It does not seem to have been
welded (but I could be wrong), it seems to have been glued in, and I
wonder
if anyone has any advice for how I might remove the support in order to
clean up and subsequently re-attach it? I am taking the opportunity to
clean
up the rest of the Landing gear frame too, which does not display any
other
issues.
I have attached the diagram and a photo to show what I am looking at,
although it is difficult to see the crack. Any advice would be
gratefully
received.
All the Best
Rob
