Just what I was thinking. I'll let you know what the results are. Also, there is another builder with the same problem that is going to OSH in a week or so. He has been in touch with Andy and others
Greeting to all, I just made up my first aileron link rod. But when I went to attach it to the aileron it didn't fit. The MW4 Rod End ID is .250 but the FL13 Spacer OD is .315. So I figure it goes on
Hi Jeremy, Fig.5 on 9-3 refers to mounting the aileron link rod to the bellcrank. I looked at Fig. 11 on 7-6. This is the bolt embedded with the A2 plate in the inboard end of the aileron that the ai
Thanks guys, That little bit of guidance got me off on the right path. All is going well now. Except it's 118'F (48'C) outside the workshop. 'Til next time! Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Tri
Good morning all, I hope everybody's build is going well. As for those flying, go ahead and enjoy, don't worry about me. (sniff) :-) I have a quick question. I'm at the point of bonding the S01 spar
Ron & Bob, Thanks for the input. I just wanted to make sure that both spar sockets had to be opened up to 1". Bob, I like the idea about the ramp guide. Sorry for the poor explanation. But it is as y
Hello to All, My friend that allows me to use his rivet squeezer has gone on vacation for three weeks just when I needed him, or it. He's an RV builder and knows his rivets. He inspects my workmanshi
This is a question that many of the newer Europa builders have had to deal with since the Trigear came along a little while after the Europa was on the homebuilder market. I have had that same questi
Hi Gary, I'm building a Trigear and have not heard about this problem. I'm about to put in the cockpit module, so I have some time before I get my wheels. Some questions: How difficult is it to get t
Hello All, When looking at builders websites, I have noticed the use of some sort of thread sealer when assembling the pipe threads of fittings, valves, and fuel pumps under the cockpit module. With
Hello again to all, I have been painstakingly pressing in the solid rivets (AN-470-AD4-10) into many of the aileron control rods. I know the magic 150% number that the finished "formed" head is suppo
Hi Jim, I have been following the "Conventional Landing Gear" thread for a while. I'm getting close to the stage of installing the cockpit module into the canoe. Could you give me a brief idea of wha
Good day All, Since the search feature of the archive is down, I'm hoping somebody remembers when they did this. Just finished with installing the fuel selector valve in the cockpit module. With it s
Hi Brian, Might as well add my $.02. If you have a Costco around, pick up some of their talc free latex gloves. I've gone through the first box and am on my second. Use them religiously when handling
Hi Paul, Can't help on the aluminum lines, as I haven't gotten there yet. I am doing AL fuel lines "inside" the aircraft, so I will monitor people's responses to your questions for my future decision
Ralph, I'm always ready to accept any invitation to go to a party and talk/compare aircraft. I hope we do get together next year. Mike Duane A207 Redding, California XS Trigear
For the experts in this field......Would there be a dissimilar metals problem if I used brass fittings along with my aluminum ones in the fuel system? And I am running these fuel lines and want to av
Hi Cliff, I've checked out the software and it does seem rather nice. It also appears reasonably priced at $198/US with updates every 28 days and yearly subscription for these updates at $99/year/US.
To all and especially the factory, Does all this input about peel ply beg the question? If peel ply is available in bright green, then why is the factory using a peel ply that has no noticeable marki
